Since the Department of Homeland is enforcing

traffic laws in DC (just like it is required in their mission statement hahaha). I thought that a better use of DHS’s new traffic law mandate would be to send its forces into the states that lead the nation in traffic deaths.

Some background

Per billion vehicle miles, South Carolina had the highest death rate while Massachusetts had the lowest. Mississippi had the most deaths per capita while Rhode Island had the lowest.
So let’s look at the top 10 states with the highest death rates
1. South Carolina
2. Mississippi
3. Arkansas
4. New Mexico
5. Louisiana
6. Montana
7. West Virginia
8.Florida
9. Oklahoma
10. Kentucky

I sure we are all shocked to see that 90% of these states are GOP dominated. So tell me again why is homeland security doing traffic work while the slaughter on the roads is in the red states.
Oh wait we know the real reason, they follow the orders of the guy who favors slavery.
