and its departments need to go back to the departments they were in before this ill-thought-out, ill-devised, and poorly named department was brought to bear on the American people. You can still have your INS and CBP, but NOBODY needs a bunch of cosplay cops in masks and tactical gear roaming the streets picking up people at random. NOBODY. Absolutely abolish them! If you need to buff up CBP. well, then, by all means, but do it the right way. Make sure the people who are hired are qualified, vetted, and above all, properly trained. If that doesn't take care of some people's "immigration fears", well then, Im sorry, they'll just have to stew in their own juices. We can't have a bunch of cosplay cops LARPing about the streets doing what they want. It's unconstitutional, just for one. UnAmerican, for another.
