Because W doesn't care about homeland security. He's done nothing but lie, cheat, and steal from the American people since the day he took office. This is gonna blow up in his face tho, i bet now they are gonna wish that that guy that Chenay shot would have died so this wouldn't have come into light. P.S. i've been talking about this for almost a week now but nobody seems to care.

NAZI GERMANY!!! BROWN SHIRTS (HOMELAND SECURITY)!! I've been saying it for several years and people looked at me like I was paranoid, nuts.  Well, what do you say now?\n\nSeveral years ago I worked with a carnival in Laughlin, NV.  Everyone who worked there in Laughlin, in any capacity, had to go to the police dept., be fingerprinted and run through NCIC or they couldn't work anywhere in Laughlin.

Since you are referring to the Department of Homeland Security, I can only assume you are referring to the system of government in the United States.\n\nIn the United States, there is no such thing as a vote of no confidence.  That only exists in parliamentary systems like England, in which a vote of no confidence causes the parliament to be dissolved and new elections held.\n\nIn the United States, elections are held at fixed intervals, and there is no way to hold them earlier.\n\nYes, the legislative branch (Congress) and the Executive Branch (President and Vice President) are elected separately.  In England, there is no actual vote for Prime Minister, you simply have the party that gains majority control of the parliament name him/her.  This is true of many parliamentary systems.\n\nIn the United States, the legislative branch is split into a House of Representatives and a Senate.  The House is made up of 435 representatives, each representing a legislative district in the US.  Each one is elected separately.  The Senate is made up of two Senators from each of the 50 states, for a total of 100.\n\nIn addition, the people in each state cast votes for a number of electors, equal to the number of representatives and senators that state has in Congress.  Those electors then cast votes for President and Vice President.  This is commonly referred to as the Electoral College, though the US Constitution does not use this term.\n\nLastly, the Department of Homeland Security was created by legislation passed by the US Congress.

No matter which side you are on - there is a problem with militant muslims.  It started in 1983, and just grew.  The 1993 WTC bombings should've a wake up call for all americans.  We went to Afghanistan & Iraq to defend ourselves because terrorist don't have homeland.  I don't like seeing our troops, ally troops, or iraqis dying, but I'd rather have the battle fought on their land not ours.  911 was the worst attack on our soil ever.

When they create a "Homeland Security" department that smacks of "Brown Shirts." When they concentrate on a country that has lots of oil instead of determinedly pursuing the person really responsible for 911. When they erode our freedoms more and more every day. When they illegally wiretap phone calls and track millions of others. When the Vice President has ties to a new string of gas stations.  When the VP has ties to a company like Halliburton.  Whatever happened to conflict of interest?\n\nHere is a quotation mistakenly attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but was actually someone else.  "Those who surrender essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."\n\nThink about it, folks.

The Department of Homeland Security's mission is to prevent, deter, protect against, mitigate and respond to terrorist attacks and other threats to the Nation.  This includes operations of immigration, border control, customs, transportation security, infrastructure protection, intelligence gathering and distribution, emergency preparedness and response and development of science and technology to support these things.

YES ... Created in 1865 as a tiny Treasury Department agency to root out counterfeit-currency rings, the Secret Service was given the mission of protecting presidents more than 35 years later. For over 137 years, the Secret Service has presented an image of bravery, excellence, and patriotism. Today, the Secret Service's protective mission extends to all retired presidents, the vice president, visiting heads of state, foreign missions, and a host of executive branch offices and residences. But a U.S. News investigation shows that, at a time when the stakes for the Secret Service are higher than ever, the agency is rife with problems and resistant to oversight and correction. President Bush has proposed moving the Secret Service into a new cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security.

By the complacency of its' citizens, and the fear that the government created by utilizing the media to spread false information, Weapons of Mass Distruction for instance. Creating an atmosphere of fear allowed the government to slowly and stealthfully rob you of your freedoms. The patriot act was one step, the Military Commissions Act is another. We live in the greatest country in the world, but do not be diluded into thinking that you live in a democracy elected by the people (ask Al Gore), or that you are free Try speaking out against the Government,  or exercizing your right to bear arms like the Davidians, or try not paying your property taxes, and see how long it is before the Government evict you from "Your Property". They have the right under "Imminent Domain" to seize your property for any reasonat any time. Don't believe me? Do some research. There are many many cases of this happening. Finally, try not paying your federal taxes. A tax that , by the way, was never ratified by any state in the union, and see how long it is before your wages are garnished, or  your assets seized.......Like I said. It is the greatest country in the world, and I am proud to be a citizen,  but the government is corrupt. You just have to look at the greatest Democracy ever that lasted 1000 years, the Roman Empire to know that it was greed, and corruption that brought down that empire. Greed and Corruption will eventually bring down the American Empire as well, and I doubt that it will last anywhere close to 1000 years.

The National Park Service (which runs the sites now) says\n"Prior to 1890, the individual states (rather than the Federal government) regulated immigration into the United States. CASTLE GARDEN in the Battery (originally known as CASTLE CLINTON) served as the New York State immigration station from 1855 to 1890 and approximately eight million immigrants, mostly from Northern and Western Europe, passed through its doors. These early immigrants came from nations such as England, Ireland, Germany and the Scandinavian countries and constituted the first large wave of immigrants that settled and populated the United States. Throughout the 1800's and intensifying in the latter half of the 19th century, ensuing political instability, restrictive religious laws and deteriorating economic conditions in Europe began to fuel the largest mass human migration in the history of the world. It soon became apparent that Castle Garden was ill-equipped and unprepared to handle the growing numbers of immigrants arriving yearly. Unfortunately compounding the problems of the small facility were the corruption and incompetence found to be commonplace at Castle Garden. The Federal government intervened and constructed a new Federally-operated immigration station on Ellis Island. While the new immigration station on Ellis Island was under construction, the Barge Office at the Battery was used for the processing of immigrants."
