Homeland Security – Land of Make Believe

Make Believe-

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 US cities?

Reality-

Heroin traffickers are frequently successful at what they do. If terrorists were just as interested in entering the US- it appears that federal departments and agencies would have no way to stop them.

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

Welcome Home Troops- thanks for your service.

The press is nowhere to be found when it comes to asking any questions here.

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

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.
