    If you wanted to make America more secure, disband ICE and TSA completely and replace them with nothing.

    Smaller, more secure government.

      I get the point of needing some kind of security at the airport, and having a national agency provide said security makes more sense to me than requiring each airport to wing it. provides some consistency. that being said, i have plenty of complaints about the current way it’s implemented.

          Incorrect; countries have always protected their borders in some capacity.

                    I deleted my comment after rereading it, and realizing that it could be easily, and rightfully, misconstrued. Thanks for this link, though.

        What kind of “discussion” beyond “Don’t Go To Trumpist USA It’s Not Worth It, PS RIP Their Tourist Industry” do you want to meaningfully have?

      Ahhh, what?

      Btw, CBP is not the same as the TSA. CBP is customs and border control. TSA keeps people from bringing bombs and guns on planes.
