Troops Risking Their Ass For What?

Still unable to see how sending US troops to Iraq & Afghanistan keeps bad people from coming here to do bad things.

In the news:

Post 911 efforts to keep terrorists from visiting the homeland- still unable to keep heroin traffickers out-

NBC News video: “The Philadelphia area has some of the cheapest and purest heroin in the country and the drug is fueling an epidemic that’s claiming dozens of lives a day.”

The press is nowhere to be found when it comes to asking any questions here. What prevents the badass terrorists we’re supposed to stay scared of from posing as heroin traffickers and making their way into the US?

14 years after 911- we are told that terror strikes may happen in the US at any time:

“Even though Brussels and Paris are both thousands of miles from the Ozarks, in our society, experts say we all are susceptible to terrorism. ”

“Those kinds of things could happen any day, any place in the United States.”

News video: Americans Keeping an Eye Out on Terrorism

Welcome Home Troops- thanks for your service.

Love to see newspeople schedule an interview with the US Dept. of Homeland Security & ask:

Are passports/enhanced/Real IDs effective in keeping heroin out of the US?

Standard driver’s licenses have not been accepted at the border since 2009.

US Dept. of Homeland Security-

Biometric ID:

“…use of biometrics is helping to make travel simple, easy and convenient for legitimate visitors, but virtually impossible for those who wish to do harm or violate U.S. laws.”

Special IDs are making it virtually impossible for heroin-trafficking cartels to move product into Philadelphia?

“The Sinaloa Cartel, operating out of the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Baja California, Durango and Sonora, is the primary Mexican cartel operating in Philadelphia.”

State-run social media:

The Dept. of Homeland Security wants to keep you informed. Look for frequent, self-congratulatory posts here.

Some say the time has come to end the failed Drug War. Until that day comes- how about some honest reporting from the press- not the typical forwarding & posting of news releases from whatever agencies are involved in domestic drug busts.

Local law enforcement agencies may benefit when the US Dept. of Homeland Security fails to keep heroin out of the US-

Has anyone ever seen the press question the US Dept. of Homeland Security/CBP on their role in keeping heroin out of the US?

If you run a government operation- these are the reporters you want to see on interview day:
