My Homeland Security Remote Application was Approved. I’m not sure if they’ve completely read my summary. 1/27/26

I applied for a vetting position with Homeland Security. Today, I received an acceptance letter that my application is in the processing pool for further verification.

I have made it clear, if an “immigrant” is not a criminal and already established, but not yet legally established, not straining down the financial system, I would like the position; to help good people earn their US Citizenship and guide them into the direction of US Citizenship, without the fear of deportation! It grieves me to see the current affairs of Homeland Security, not exercising “common sense.” Due Process must also include good moral characters being heard and if they have a job, that must not go unnoticed, either! We must never-ever forget the men and women who put their lives on the line for our country, that must also be included in the “due process.” Our US military needs help too, and that should also include public service.

Shame on the Biden Administration, for opening the floodgates of despair and leaving alone necessary accountability. Our country should’ve never been a land where they ignore the due process of the law, it’s like a two way street. Look at this horrific mess we have today, and I hope it heals, properly in time! Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords! Amen.

If Homeland Security accepts my terms, I would love to help!

Another depressing situation that is costing lives, unnecessarily! The spirit of the GOP took the gun and then killed the protesting and apprehended nurse, bottom line! Protesting with a gun had unforeseen consequences in this case, only God knows the intent of the killers motives! 1/24/26

ICE agents that killed the nurse are put on administrative leave, after the uprising. 1/28/26

DEPORTATION/VETTING/PROTESTING

Did the Native Indians sell Plymouth or Jamestown for a fee?

No, Native Americans didn't sell the land at Jamestown or Plymouth for a simple "fee" or purchase in the modern sense

; interactions involved complex trades, alliances, and often forceful taking, with early agreements sometimes allowing temporary settlement in exchange for goods or resources, but the English ultimately seized land through conflict and treaties, not fair sales. For Jamestown, the Virginia Company funded settlers for profit, trading with the Powhatan for food initially, while the Pilgrims at Plymouth (thanks to the Wampanoag) established trade and alliances for survival, but land ownership remained contentious and led to war, not fair purchase.  Why did the God of creation allow pagan (animism) v. fundamentalism (In the name of God)?

Was the USA stolen or not? Was then, Christianity based on fear and fundamentalism? Can God’s word be vandalized by man? Yes, but not for long, it is written.

The killing of Renee Nicole Good is one of the most unfortunate stories that we read or are hearing about, including the due process of the law. My heart goes out to her children/family. No one knows the momentum of the ICE shooter (Jonathan Ross) or if Renee Nicole Good was afraid and attempting to move her vehicle out of her fear; we will never know her contemplation (final thought) or what fear that Jonathan Ross must’ve had. ICE has mandates that are brought before the due process of the law! I can’t help but to wonder about Renee Nicole Good and her possible fear or greater intentions, had she only surrendered her hands, would’ve things have turned out differently? This is a very sad event! It should serve as a reminder about how protests and the “due process” should be handled, but then again their leaders of misery, the mayor and governor are partially to blame! 1/8/26

After looking at different angles of footage, I believe an independent investigation should occur, not that it will matter. The White House has made up their minds, less the witness testimony. We are the government, we shouldn’t be afraid of our elected leaders, unfortunately, they aren’t listening. 1/11/26

VETTING PROCESS: AI Overview

Yes, individuals subject to deportation proceedings undergo various levels of vetting and screening by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The exact nature of the vetting depends on the specific circumstances of their case and the legal process involved. 

Key aspects of the vetting process for illegal immigrants facing deportation include:

  • Biographic and Biometric Checks: Apprehended individuals have their photographs and fingerprints captured, which are then checked against various U.S. government databases, including the FBI's criminal history records and DHS's biometric systems, to identify any prior immigration violations, criminal histories, or national security concerns.

  • Database and Watchlist Screening: Information gathered is run through interagency systems like the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) and other intelligence community databases to screen for potential terrorist affiliations or other national security threats.

  • Interviews: Immigration officers conduct interviews to verify identity, gather information about their eligibility for any potential relief from removal (like asylum claims), and assess credibility.

  • Due Process: Under U.S. law, all persons within the U.S., including undocumented immigrants, are entitled to due process. This means that a formal removal order can generally only be issued after the government presents clear evidence in immigration court, where the individual has the opportunity to be heard.

  • Expedited Removal: In some cases, such as for certain individuals apprehended at the border, an expedited removal process may be used. This process is swifter but still involves screening for a "credible fear" of persecution to ensure asylum seekers are not immediately returned to danger.

  • Continuous Vetting: The government conducts "continuous vetting" of non-citizens in the U.S. to monitor for any new information that could make them ineligible to stay in the country. 

The DHS emphasizes that all non-citizens are vetted during processing to deter fraud and detect individuals with potential harmful intent, though the thoroughness and consistency of this vetting have been subjects of ongoing policy debate and scrutiny.

COST OF DEPORTATION (AI): Cost Per Deportation

The cost of deporting a single person varies significantly depending on the circumstances, such as how long they are detained and the legal processing involved. 

  • Current ICE estimates: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reports an average cost of at least $17,121 per deportation.

  • Independent analyses: Other studies, cited by the Penn Wharton Budget Model, estimate the average cost per deportee to be around $70,236, with some analyses ranging from $30,591 to $109,880. 

Historical and Annual Spending

Immigration enforcement budgets have increased dramatically since the 1990s. For example, in FY 2025 (fiscal year), the total funding for immigration and border enforcement was nearly $34 billion before additional funding packages were enacted. In July 2025, a significant budget act gave ICE an additional $30 billion for tracking, arresting, and deporting immigrants over four years, nearly tripling its annual budget for enforcement operations. 

Projected Costs of Mass Deportation

Most recent analyses focus on the potential costs of proposed mass deportation plans, which project massive expenditures and significant economic impacts:
