Wow. Swim the Rio Grande, stay in a hotel courtesy of Napolitano - all bills paid vacation. There are 25 million residents in Mexico City. Imagine how many want a vacation in the USA.

The purpose of all bureaucracies is to grow the problem. Make it worse.
Bureaucracies can not grow and prosper with out problems.
Worse......is....good.
Worse means bigger budgets, staff, offices, and ensured employment with full benefits until retirement. Retirement pay depends upon civil service rank. High rank can not be assured in small departments. Big departments handling big problems increases the chance of getting a high staff position.
