That's right folks - Homeland Security is now officially being used to enforce political agenda.

And though this article is about Homeland Security and Immigration - It is a Political Controversy. The fact is, they are changing their policies to "selectively" enforce laws and protection of the homeland....Aren't they?

The Associated Press: Homeland unveils immigration enforcement plan

Even though I do have my opinions about illegal immigrants, this is not an issue of the right or wrong of their situation here.

The point is - We are a sovereign nation, we have federal immigration laws, and Homeland Security should be respecting and assisting with the enforcement of those federal laws.

They are "Homeland Security".

And, instead, they are tying the hands of the law enforcement agencies - Aren't they?

I cannot believe that this is happening. They should not be working from a political agenda.

Get your e-mails out to your House Representatives and Senators. Do something, other than blow steam here.

Oh - you mean that when Bush wouldn't even create the department unless he could eliminate union participation - that wasn't politicizing. And when the GOP wouldn't fund it because they couldn't pass the funding bill with only GOP votes - that wasn't politicizing. And when the wingnuts when insane over a report about right-wing violence and demanded that Napolitano be fired - even though the report was ordered by Bush - that wasn't politicizing.

You really have a way of overstating the simple.

Guess so. I guess there is nothing wrong with the current administration to comment on.

Do you not read the posts? Or do you not understand current events? The OP claimed that the DHS is "now officially politicized." I was proving him wrong.

How about some specific info or links to your point.

Union participation in Homeland Security...You're kidding...Right?

There are good unions and bad unions...With very bad people...Why take a chance?

Napolitano's report?....Ha! Ha! Ha!...How honest, objective and all inclusive did that turn out to be?

Nope. Bush demanded that unions be ousted before he'd create DHS.

Because unions protect workers.

Bush's report turned out to be dead-on correct (and your lying about whose report it is reflects badly on you). Where have you been for the last few months as crazy wingnuts have been committing murder after murder?

I notice that you have not addressed my point. Bush and conservatives have already politicized the DHS. Thus, your headline is wrong.
