Ideas for Government Efficiency  (DOGE)

First a little explanation about how inefficient (or corrupt) the federal government has become and how much it is costing us.

First: The most obnoxious issue in American life today is the importation of millions of illegal aliens who not only live off their neighbors and prey on them criminally, but get paid from your tax dollars for food, clothing and shelter. Last year alone, US taxpayers shelled out some $150 billion in government services and support to help the 20 million illegal migrants in the country, according to a study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). This is particularly galling to the American citizens that are living in and around poverty. Legitimately they ask how and why Can my government pay these noncitizens while I work, pay taxes and follow the law. Then these law breakers by definition are given priority not only in free money but also mess up my neighborhood, my school and my everyday life?

Among the 10 to 12 million illegal aliens brought into this country under the last regime, it appears those in charge have lost track of well over 300,000 minor children. Based on the behavior of the cartels that bought them across the border, these children are likely working as slave labor or being prostituted for additional income for the cartels. How is that for caring about poor people?

Second: According to Steven Moore of the Heritage Foundation a recent survey found that among the federal employees that are assigned a desk in a federal owned building only 6% of them show up on site (this means 94% “work from home?”).

Third: Before the Education Department was created in 1980, the US ranked in the top five countries for students’ abilities in Language and Math. Now 44 years, 4400 employees and $15 trillion dollars later the US students rank around 35th against the rest of the world’s students.

Fourth: The Defense department that for years was blamed for taking the largest share of tax money has not been able to complete an audit of their finances for 7th year in a row. They cannot account for $1.6 trillion. The Defense Department has spent the $1.6 trillion, they just do not want to admit where. You can bet a noticeable amount of that spending came back to those in power as campaign donations, speaking fees and book contracts. All on your dime. Any private company that was this poorly (or corruptly) run would be kicked off the NY Stock Exchange.

This kind of laziness and theft of course should be stopped, but think for a minute what this really costs you. Bidenflation is one of the results of this poor management because the government keeps putting more current expenses on your children’s credit card to cover their mistakes and their extra “take home pay.” If you don’t care about your cost of living, you are punishing both your children, grandchildren and likely great grandchildren with more poverty and worse lifestyle than you have today. The National debt is now about $36 trillion dollars, that is on your family’s credit card. The interest alone on this debt is more than every other government expense except Medicare and Medicaid.

OK, let’s think about some ways the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) can practically not only stop the bleeding, but create some institutional repairs.

How do we get our population back in balance? Just stop paying anyone who is not an American citizen. No housing vouchers, no credit cards, no Obama phones, no food cards, no cash. Announcing that stop will come first, then just turn off the money.

In order to get these “migrants” to leave in an orderly fashion I suggest:

Reassign all the excess federal employees laid off from the other closed departments to the sanctuary states and cities who have vowed to fight deportation to act as the deportation intake staff. After some date certain, every non-citizen that is receiving any government money of any kind or value will only receive benefits in those cities and states that have declared themselves sanctuaries. No federal money of any kind will be allowed to be used for illegals in any other places. Most of the illegals will have to move to these venues.

In these sanctuary areas, each noncitizen requesting federal aid or having no visible legal means of support will be thoroughly questioned and identified with photo’s, retinal scans, fingerprints, blood and DNA surveys as well thorough photo study of recognizable body parts. In this way, they will never be able to lie about their identity during future incursions.

The illegals will be evaluated by their working status, their education and their criminal records.  They will be offered transportation and food to either northern Mexico or to a Central American country of their choice. There they can apply for admission to America after 2 years of wholesome behavior in those countries with references and sponsors in the United States. Once deported to these locations they will not receive any money or help of any kind from the US government or any US entity, including US Charities.  These illegals will be prohibited from voting in any US election for the next 50 years wherever they eventually live. This will be an agreed condition of any eventual citizenship.

Criminal illegals will be put to the front of the deportation line and children of illegals will go with their verified parent or next of kin.

Investigations will verify that all money sent from the US government, its tributaries or supported organizations goes only to American citizens and genuine Green Card holders who are in the process of becoming citizens through the standard channels. Money diverted to noncitizen causes will be clawed back or deducted from future payments to the states, cities and other entities that refuse to follow the new guidelines. After the sanctuary states deportation, no payments will be made to any government entity that refuses to cooperate with deportation program until all legal remedies arguments and appeals are completely exhausted in all courts.

Deportation Exceptions may be made for non-citizens that have extraordinary skills and knowledge that would be uniquely valuable to the United States (i.e. Specialized surgeons, scientists and unique talents).

Congress can adjust the rules for accepting the citizenship of all applicants in the manner that best suits the interests for the United States, while guaranteeing that illegals (now identified) are not admitted until all others seeking citizenship are background checked, successfully complete citizenship training and sworn in.
