Three Ways Congress Can Improve Homeland Security

Dr. James Jay Carafano explains three simple ways Congress can improve Homeland Security. This is an issue that effects everyone and every member of Congress should be interested in it. It also effects every level of Government - Local, State, and Federal. Currently, there are 85 Committees overseeing the Department of Homeland Security which makes it extremely difficult to get things accomplished. Congress also has no way of overseeing how the federal agencies work together. The way that it is set up now is disjointed and needs to be reformed for our safety.

James Jay Carafano and David Heyman released a study today on how Homeland Security can be reformed for the better.
