After nearly two weeks off the job, two cafeteria workers Downtown will be allowed this week to return to work.

The two women, who together have worked in food service at the U.S. Courthouse and in the William S. Moorhead Federal Building for 44 years, were removed from their positions on July 5 when the Department of Homeland Security declared them "unsuitable," after conducting background checks on them

The problem here, is that neither of these women were "undocumented immigrants."

Had they been, they would have never had any problems whatsoever

Homeland Security is very good at uncovering problems relating to(and strip searching at airports) grandmothers and apparent law-abiding citizens.

Too bad they don't expend more of their energy on discovering and dealing with those who are a real threat to us.

I've never liked the word "Homeland", it sounds more 1940 Germany than American.

Compare oppressive actions of Homeland Security with that of the ATF and I have to wonder what the real goal is.

Lot of huff 'n puff over naught - as long as humans are involved, there will be human mistakes.
This was resolved rather quickly...
but it's the nature of we humans not to allow for mistakes - except, of course, our own. (and, of course, if any mistake, however small, can be ferreted out by the libs against any and all things they can contribute to pubbies... it will become a national crisis)
