When DHS was first created, it was sold as a department to make sure FBI, CIA, local law enforcement and others would share information about potential threats.
Never was it suggested it would grow to an umbrella super organization of its own, with more power than all the others put together.
A massive bait-and-switch was played on us all, paid for with our own money and loss of freedom.

If it will be a bad thing under Democrat control then it’s not a good thing because it was implemented under Republican control.

This is a lesson that Republicans have refused to learn. Blame Democrats for being what they are and you won’t be wrong, but Republicans handed them the keys.

DHS was proposed, funded, established and expanded under George W. Bush and the vast majority here on FR cheered. Only the few remaining paleoconservatives and libertarians were alarmed and spoke out. They were shouted down.

And so, here we are. Feel safe yet?
