Coast Guard, which has
a station in Delaware, would be cut by more than $1.3 billion. The
Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, has just as high a cut. Ironically, even though these are the very agencies that protect our
ports and other points of entry, Trump proposes cutting their funding
so that a southern border wall can be built for an estimate well above
$25 billion. This simply makes no sense. If you listen to the words of
the Coast Guard Commandant, ADM Paul Zukunft, he warned that simply
focusing all those resources on building a wall along the border with
Mexico would make our ports and waterways even more appealing to
smugglers and those who seek to bring illicit drugs or to bring people
into the United States through unlawful entry.
