under Trump the U.S award a 297 million hiring contract to a outside company to fill 7500 position… that company has spent 13.6 million and only hired two people
The Trump administration paid an astonishing $13.6 million to an outside contractor this year to increase border protection staffing, but that effort has resulted in only two new job offers, according to a scathing report by a federal watchdog that called for “immediate” action to rectify “serious performance issues.”
U.S. Customs and Border Protection granted Accenture Federal Services — a subsidiary of the global Accenture consulting company headquartered in the tax haven of Dublin — a $297 million contract last year to boost staffing by thousands in the wake of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on the border and immigration.
The company is “nowhere near satisfying its 7,500-person hiring goal over the next 5 years,” declared the report, which was released last week by the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security. “Further, CBP has used significant staffing and resources to help Accenture do the job for which it was contracted. As such, we are concerned that CBP may have paid Accenture for services and tools not provided.”
*CORRECTION : This article previously referred to Accenture inaccurately as a “private company”; it is publicly traded. Language has also been amended to reflect that the report does not specify whether the two accepted job offers were for the role of border agent.
What the article is intentionally leaving out is that these two new border officers were given cybernetic upgrades, just like Steve Austin. They might be expensive, but they’re worth every penny spent. This is why I don’t trust the phony fake news media corporation empire.
So we paid this company $13 million to recruit 1000s of border patrol agents, and they maybe got 2? And they used government staff and resources?
Why in the hell don’t we have thousands of additional Border Patrol agents, this is something already budgeted, instead we throw away $13 million for nothing.
Ireland has a 12.5% corporate tax rate so many companies moved their HQ’s there, hence the double Irish. They’re not actually Irish companies, nor are they really based in Ireland, it’s just tax evasion.
But much to the surprise of the Irish the companies didn’t want to cough up 12.5% so they found ways to lower that too. Effective rate is often less than 5%, Apple famously paid 0.005% on over 100 billion in profits.
You see…“we” should have used that money to build a wall. This is the same kind of bull feces I’ve observed for decades. Build the wall and remove as much as possible…having to depend on the government.
