The bureaucracy is corrupt and dysfunctional. The bureaucracy is decayed and unworkable.
What I’d give for a few good men!
CNS News reports:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cannot find 266 potentially dangerous foreign nationals who have overstayed their visas, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
According to testimony from Rebecca Gambler, director of the Homeland Security and Justice for GAO, on May 21, 2013 before the House Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security, DHS identified 1,901 illegal overstays of concern in 2011. As of March 2013, 14 percent remain missing.
Securing our border and placing greater discrimination and scrutiny restrictions into our visa program should be a high priority.
Janet Napolitano was a failure as an AZ Governor and she’s even worse at leading DHS. Just last month, she testified to Clowngress that “our border has never been more secure.”
Under her leadership, it’s become the Dept of Homeland Stupidity. Could this be the next Obumblegate?
DHS is spending their time and resources showing up at Tea Party rallies attended by Social Security card holders carrying signs instead of looking for the real threats to our country. Did you all see the DHS vehicles “Police” in big bold print on the doors that showed up at the IRS offices last week? I thought it was against our laws to have a national police.
Here is another example of what the DHS is doing to not protect us, by targeting those who express discontent with this administration.
The War on Veterans has a name: Operation Vigilant Eagle:
“The Federal Bureau of Investigation launched “Operation Vigilant Eagle” in 2009 to target white supremacists and “militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups,” with a focus on veterans, according to memos obtained and reported at the time by The Wall Street Journal. A memo detailing the national operation was issued by the Department of Homeland Security later.”

Oh great, and I just can’t wait until the IRS is making health care decisions.
And now for something completely different —
THE PROGRESSIVE PARADIGM! (Or giving the homeless the bum’s rush.)

Soden … you know … the Boston bombers were perfectly legal residents of this country, not border crawlers. You really are being annoyingly obtuse.
All the many thousands of border crossers want to do is work … for Smithfield farms … now owned by the Chinese corporatocracy.
Mind you, thinking about all this in any depth is enough to make anyone take refuge in obtusity … but, for heaven’s sake … will you just own it? … just once?
And stop sending morons to the Congress.
Libby: “…the Boston bombers were perfectly legal residents of this country, not border crawlers.”
Napalatano is still head of the DHS. So, what of the 226 “possibly dangerous” folk that cannot be found? What do you suppose they might be up to and why can’t this department keep track of them if they are considered potentially dangerous?
“And stop sending morons to the Congress.”
I’ll be happy to let you take the lead on that one…
Do you forget who is in charge of the Senate…and oh, yeah, how ’bout that guy in the WH pretending to be president? It’s looking like the organizer has about organized his own exit…as far as I’m concerned he can take the rest of the trash out with him.
Clean your own dang house!
Smaller government is looking better and better!
Sorry to annoy you, Libby the Lib. You might try re-reading the comment since I said nothing about the Boston bombers.
” . . just want to work”? If that were true, there wouldn’t be a line of illegals at the goofernment handout office stretching around the block.
I do, however, totally agree about sending morons to Clowngress. And the Legislature. And the Chico City Council . . . .
Mind you, thinking about all this in any depth is enough to make anyone take refuge in obtusity … but, for heaven’s sake … will you just own it? … just once?
Libby it’s your ideology and elected that bought and paid for it, then ran it into the ground, and kicked it down the political road. You and yours destroyed it, and now your asking self reliant and fiscally responsible people to “own it” What are you silently hoping they can cure what you can’t??.. I think your the Obtuse one, or can’t you see that either!
“Napalatano is still head of the DHS. So, what of the 226 “possibly dangerous” folk that cannot be found?”
But Tina, this is all just so hyperbolic. Think about right after 9/11, when we roused ourselves, and tracked down all the many thousands of visa over-stayers, and sent them off.
Tina, they were all, all of them, either going to school and/or holding down perfectly respectable jobs.
You are a paranoid maniac. Chill.
Libby how do you know “they were all going to school” or “holding down perfectly respectable jobs”?
And what does that have to do with the 226 that our government has tagged as “possibly dangerous”?
It is entirely appropriate to question the competence of those who are paid to know.
What do you believe they paid to do…facilitate terror attacks through head-in-the-sand attitudes so you can feel like this administration is adequate to the challenge…or maybe you like to pretend peace is in the air?
The fact that our border is porous has been acknowledged. So is it acknowledged that there are terror cells in the US and that terror groups are working with cartels and have a growing presence in the America’s.
Our government missed the opportunity to keep a closer eye on the pressure cooker bombers…no doubt because they share your attitude…which, by the way is incredibly nonchalant compared to the maniacal panic over gun control following Sandy Hook…when it comes to suspicions about law abiding American citizens and their guns you and our government are more than paranoid.
Forewarned is forearmed.
You appear, at the very least, to be just another leftist with her head firmly planted.
Also see 2005 911 report on immigration control failures.
There is little evidence that sufficient improvements have been made. As one blogger put it:
Shouldn’t we rightly expect greater concern and commitment from our president and his administration for the protection of all US citizens? Is it not within the job description to provide for the defense?
How ’bout, you chill!
