Did the current administration waste so much money that now their immigration services need a bailout? It sure does look like it.
The immigration agency admonishing immigrants to pull themselves up by their bootstraps seems to have destroyed its own boots.

It has alleged, without evidence, that too many immigrants are on the dole.

This is the real looting, right in front of us. The American people deserve to know how their money is being spent. We need full transparency. Elected officials and the citizens resisted firmly on this and late last week, we won.... for now.

Trump swamp creature David Bernhardt is at it again, destroying our Department of Interior that he leads despite hating its existence.

The United States rapid decline into a totalitarian nation under Trump continues.
