EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, slammed President Biden's State Department for being caught with its hands in the "cookie jar" over taxpayer dollars going toward counseling migrants on how to use the asylum process to enter the United States.

"Your department is responsible for giving us knowingly false information," Issa told Julieta Valls Noyes, assistant secretary for Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) at the State Department, during a Thursday hearing, referencing the department’s PRM program funding a nonprofit organization known as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS).

"We were told…PRM has not funded and does not fund legal representation or counseling related to immigration proceedings," Issa explained, referencing a letter from the State Department to the committee. "Again, later, in December, from the government of Mexico, PRM does not fund legal representation or counseling related to U.S. immigration proceedings and legal assistance provided to those in Mexico is solely for the Mexican legal processes."

Issa continued, "Under the rules of US 18 Title 1001, is that a true statement? Either of those?"

Give State Department less money to lie about in FY2025 Budget.

Bureaucracies get sustenance from Budgets.  Budgets feed them two things that help them grow - funding and headcount.  To shrink Bureaucracy, you need to deprive them of funding and headcount. 

Mid-level bureaucrats use headcount to accumulate more power and a larger budget.  More employees/contractors require more supervisors and more office space.  More supervisors require more assistant directors with larger offices and more support staff.  More assistant directors require more directors with even larger offices and even more support staff.

Headcount growth can cause exponential funding consumption so bureaucracy can continue adding more headcount.  More headcount creates more work which requires more headcount which requires more budget.

Cancer are cells that don't die.  Bureaucracies are organizations that don't stop growing on their own.  To kill cancer, you need to deprive of blood supply.  To kill bureaucracy you need to reduce headcount, because it is headcount that is the justification for funding requests.
