I wonder how many people are employed by "Homeland Security" and how many more would be unemployed without more government sponsored policing and "Homeland Security"

When people learn to tolerate one another then there will be no need for all the security and costs.

Think how much the cost was of the :-
CIA
NSA
State Dept
Homeland security
Military
etc.

and then ask how many friends did the USA make last year ?

Yet the border is wide open....

What about the intangible cost to our liberties? The end of habeus corpus? Indefinite military detention of citizens with no right to trial? Pervasive Government spying on everyone and everything?

911 was allowed. Authoritarians run our Government. Just like Hitler burned the Riechstag.

well, there's a group of people out there who's sworn duty and job it is is to kill American citizens, innocent or otherwise. So we have decided to treat them like enemy combatants. That's why we don't give them a fair trial. Just like we didn't give all the German POW's a fair trial.
