DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS) – part 3
By Ken Cuccinelli – see Wikipedia bio below

Coast Guard protects US interests – plus American Samoa - from Chinese fishing fleet.
 
US Secret Service to focus solely on protection; only exception would be financial issues associated with illegal immigration.

 

CHAPTER 6 – DEPARTMENT OF STATE
By Kiron K. Skinner – see bio below

Large swaths of State are left-wing and predisposed to disagree with conservative President’s vision. Therefore, State requires President’s handpicked political leadership.
 
No one in State Department leadership should hold that job end day January 20, 2025.
 
Accept resignations of all political ambassadors and reassess career ambassadors.
African nations are particularly (and reasonably) non-receptive to the U.S. social policies such as abortion and pro-LGBT initiatives being imposed on them. We should focus on core security, economic, and human rights engagement and reject the promotion of divisive policies that hurt the deepening of shared goals between the U.S. and its African partners.
 
Work with Congress on certain issues but remain “radio silent” on those White House wants to be primary on.
 
Visas to foreign nationals based on reciprocity.
 
Make significant foreign policy shift based on who friends are.
 
Focus attention on China, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Russia.
 
With respect to Ukraine, continued U.S. involvement must be fully paid for; limited to military aid (while European allies address Ukraine’s economic needs); and have a
clearly defined national security strategy that does not risk American lives.
 
Mexico no longer functions as first-world nation, but a cartel country and is national security disaster. 
 
US should work with Western Hemisphere nations to move back global manufacturing and industry from around the world, this includes energy development.
 
Prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons.
 
Encourage Arab states to join Abraham Accord and de-fund Palestinian Authority.
 
Pay special attention to religious freedom issues of Middle Eastern Christians and other minorities, plus human trafficking.
 
In Africa, move from only humanitarian aid to fostering free market and incentivize US private sector there.
 
Designate focus countries with mutually beneficial relationships for full service response from US rather than all Africa.

Ken Cuccinelli
BIO-Wikipedia: BS-UVA, JD-George Mason; served as the senior official performing the duties of the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security from 2019 to 2021;  rejects the scientific consensus on climate change; opposes gun rights limits, ,abortion, homosexuality; On August 12, 2019, Cuccinelli announced a revised regulation, to go into effect October 15, 2019, expanding the public charge requirements for legal immigration. Green cards and visas can be denied if people are likely to need federal, state and local government benefits including food stamps, housing vouchers and Medicaid; Cuccinelli defended the deployment of federal agents dressed in camouflage and tactical gear to Portland, Oregon, where they picked up protestors and took them into unmarked vehicles.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Yesterday’s historic news about President Joe Biden appears to be changing a HUGE amount of energy and focus in the 2024 Presidential race, but it DOES NOT change anything related to PROJECT 2025

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS) - part 2
By Ken Cuccinelli – see Wikipedia bio below

US CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION
Fund ICE to support daily space of 100,000 beds
 
Denaturalize aliens using fraud for citizenship.
 
Review, reverse, and rescind all Biden policies.
 
Realign eligibility and fraud detection rather than speed citizenship.
 
Agents not allowed to focus on unlawful programs (DACA, mass parole for Afghans, Ukrainians, Venezuelans, etc.).
 
Reject incomplete applications
 
Create a merit-based immigration system that rewards high skilled aliens instead of the current system that favors extended family–based and luck-of-the-draw immigration.
 
Diversity visa lottery should be repealed, chain migration should be ended, and the existing employment visa program should be replaced with a system to award visas only to the “best and brightest.”
 
Repeal Temporary Protected Status.
 
Increase fee structures but implement premium money processing.

 

Expel aliens immediately when loss of operational control of border occurs.
 
Construct border wall.
 
Return home all unaccompanied minors.
 
Gang violence and domestic violence are not grounds for asylum.
 
Authorize state and local law enforcement to participate in immigration and border security actions.
 
The Secretary shall have the authority to waive all legal requirements to avert or curtail mass migration.
 
 
CYBERSECURITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AGENCY (CISA)
End CISA’s counter-mis/disinformation efforts. The federal government cannot be the arbiter of truth. CISA began this work because of alleged Russian misinformation in the 2016 election, which in fact turned out to be a Clinton campaign “dirty trick.”
 
Dismiss entire CISA Advisory Committee.
 
For election security, CISA should help states and localities assess whether they have good cyber hygiene in their hardware and software in preparation for an election—but nothing more. This is of value to smaller localities, particularly by flagging who is attacking their websites. CISA should not be significantly involved closer to an election.
