I gave you the concept as it was needed in the criminal justice community to solve crimes, that was not a political move until this Administration made it about using for political purposes...learn to separate things and not ‘throw out the baby with the bathwater’. Generalizations do not help anyone.

As for your comment italicized, today LBJ was compared to Obama and their Administrations noted as so similar.

I’m not making arguments for anyone, only stating the purposed creation was misused, and hopefully one day will be restored to it’s original planned purpose by a less politically warped group of people.

I would compare the expansion under of federal government agencies & powers under LBJ to about that the GW Bush administration and to some degree Nixon administration. The main problem that lead up to 911 is still the same problem. We have Politically Correct Marxist in government who ignore real significant threats of those entering our nation while making law abiding citizens criminal suspects until proven otherwise. The Flight Schools red flag should have gotten a response. Previous administrations had their heads up Saudi Arabia behind. Their Visa's had expired. No one then and no one today is checking anymore. We did not have sufficient ARMED and READY alert aircraft to muster a true response. We had also ended the most successful anti hijacking program which was Sky Marshalls. Which administration allowed how they operate to be filmed by the media? Ooops!!!

Forget DHS. Simple policies changes in the agencies themselves would have sufficed. Elimination of State Dept from the Intel and military Loop unless absolutely necessary should be a must. It has more leaks than the Titanic. All Embassy security should have been armed forces. All bases should be armed forces guarded. No more rent a cop. All Intel gathering and processing should have been done under military command. That would have brought about the needed discipline and accountability needed.

FEMA? How about simple state to state joint mutual aid agreements instead? Mutual Aid is a backbone of rural emergency services as well as urban services and it works well. Decisions are made quickly on scene by those there and not some politically appointed Dork 2000 miles away golfing and won't be back in the office till Monday and a meeting of top management can then be held to decide the political ramifications of their response.

The FBI should be handling ATF functions and most of those functions should be made state jurisdictions except for actual national security issues. That is why DHS was a failed concept. It goes back to the government that governs best governs least.

Border Patrol? That is one of the most screwed up agencies in existence thanks to PC and meddling. To address it and resolve most issues a buffer zone of 5 miles wide the entire length of the border should be purchased and be made federal land. One of the few situations something like this would be justified. Have well armed patrols like the USCG to enforce it. Give thenm the mapower and firepower needed. If fired upon fire back if attacked even by rocks fire back. Empower local LEA's beyond the five mile buffer to help detain illegals and make deportation mandatory.

Build the damn wall and stop stalling. Place the Border Patrol and it's Commander under the UCMJ. War has been declared by Mexican Cartels it's time to take it serious. We don't need more top end leaders we need effective leaders of the agencies who know what they are doing and are experienced rather than some idiot politicians family friend. The agencies themselves needed to be cracked down on mainly at leadership level. That was the real problem. Jobs weren't getting done because of PC and politics. The DHS was not a solution. All federal agency directors should have career long experience in their agency and be qualified themselves. Not doing so was the other major breakdown.
