Terminate the department's grant programs
What the document says“DHS should not be in the business of handing out federal tax dollars: These grants should be terminated.”
The chapter argues from federalism that states better understand their own needs and should bear the costs of their own programs, and says the department's grants to states and localities should be ended. It notes that doing so requires Congress, which it says repeatedly votes to fund the grants for political reasons.
What the document actually says“DHS should not be in the business of handing out federal tax dollars: These grants should be terminated.”
This department should not hand out money. These grants should end.
The department gives money to states and towns. It pays for things like police training. The book says that should stop. It says states should pay for their own needs.
