i'm older than the DHS and have never seen it do anything good for The Average American (whatever that means) in my entire life. i have seen it be a big racism lever that every administration loves to pull like that dril tweet tho
DHS is just a relic from the overreaction to 9/11 and all the opportunistic skullduggery that took advantage of it. There was never any need for it. Let it be dead. Its abrupt dissolution will be a bit chaotic but fuck it we ball.

lets say everything works out to just 5% of that: 2 trillion in taxes.

that's roughly $500/mo/American.
average of 2.5 people per household.
$1,250/mo average to each household.
that's rent.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.
