Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., outlined her plans to investigate government waste and inefficiency during a Sunday appearance on Sunday Morning Futures.

Greene, who was recently appointed to lead a subcommittee focused on government spending and efficiency, emphasized the importance of cutting unnecessary government costs, particularly in areas related to immigration and government-funded media.

One of the key areas Greene wants the new subcommittee to explore is the immigration crisis, specifically focusing on sanctuary states and cities.

She proposed that leaders of these areas, which refuse to fully enforce federal immigration laws, should be held accountable for how they use federal funds.

“I’d like to talk to the governors of sanctuary states and the mayors of sanctuary cities and have them come before our committee and explain why they deserve federal dollars if they’re going to harbor illegal criminal aliens in their states and their cities.” 

The congresswoman cited the case of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student from the University of Georgia, who was murdered while jogging on campus in February 2023.

Riley’s death was at the hands of Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who had been granted a “humanitarian flight” from New York City to Atlanta in September 2023.

Greene pointed to this incident as a stark example of the consequences of sanctuary policies, noting that federal dollars should not support jurisdictions that harbor individuals who have committed crimes.

Beyond immigration, Greene’s subcommittee will focus on a broad range of areas where government spending may be wasteful or ineffective.

She explained that the goal is to cut funding for programs, contracts, and government positions that do not serve the interests of the American people. “The way to do that is to cut programs, contracts, employees, grant programs, you name it, that are failing the American people and not serving the American people’s interests,” Greene stated.

One specific area of focus for the subcommittee will be government-funded media programs.

Greene singled out National Public Radio (NPR), accusing the organization of spreading “Democrat propaganda” and vowing that it would come under scrutiny.

“We’re going to be looking into all government-funded media programs,” Greene said, signaling a potential push to reevaluate the role of taxpayer dollars in funding media outlets that may not align with the values of many Americans.

In addition to media programs, Greene’s subcommittee will examine active government contracts and whether they remain relevant or if their purpose has expired.

She also raised concerns about government employees working remotely, a practice that became widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We’re also looking at many – we have thousands – of buildings that the federal government owns and pays for with over $15 billion a year, but yet those government buildings stood empty and these government employees stay at home,” she explained.

Greene characterized these issues as “failures” in government service, emphasizing that her subcommittee’s goal is to ensure taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely.

“And we don’t care about people’s feelings,” Greene stated. “We’re going to be searching for the facts and we’re going to be verifying if this is worth spending the American people’s hard-earned tax dollars on.”


The congresswoman’s efforts to tackle wasteful government spending come as Republicans seek to demonstrate a commitment to fiscal responsibility and reform in the wake of increasing concerns over the size and scope of federal government expenditures.

The subcommittee, which will work alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is expected to play a key role in the Republican agenda to rein in government spending and improve efficiency in federal programs.

As the subcommittee gets to work, Americans can expect a thorough examination of government practices that may no longer align with current needs or priorities and a renewed focus on ensuring that taxpayer money is being spent in a way that benefits the country as a whole.
