Now that Obammie has opened the borders and stopped deporting foreign criminals, I can’t think of any reason for it.

I’ve always considered it a waste. We have the FBI, the CIA and Control.

If Maxwell Smart can’t protect us, DHS can’t.

No ... not as a stand alone agency

We need homeland security, but that is a responsability of the government at large and not as an additional expense from our tax base

That's like hiring an armed guard and paying someone to work and pay you because you're a father and it's your reponsibility to protect and care for your family.

Where else would high school drop outs find $80,000/yr. jobs? It’s certainly not about making the country safer.

I don’t think we need it. But we should not have expected the Republicrats to abolish the agency or cause a DHS shutdown because they’d “get the blame”. Apparently, “being blamed” is the worst thing that can happen to a Republicrat. I guess when Patrick Henry talked about “liberty or death”, he didn’t realize that “being blamed” was actually worse than death.

Technicians of the Media Misinformation Megalopoly (inescapable disinformation hegemony) are already gearing up for their blizzard of lies when the next 9/11 or Boston Marathon Bombing happens because of the deliberate campaign to this nation’s boxers.

Yeah ... ‘cause they pretty much have relegated boxers out of the American consciousness and replaced those warriors with the painted clowns of wrestling

No.
Repeal NFA ‘34, GCA ‘68, and 922(o) ‘86 ... and “homeland security” will take care of itself.

The DHS has been ordered not to enforce the laws and do not effectively protect the borders under those orders so not funding them changes nothing other than in some miniature minds the agents won’t get paid, but even the administration admits that they would get paid.

The House and Senate need to be defunded since they are not fulfilling their job to REPRESENT us, not RULE us; and they do not fulfill their oaths to support and defend the Constitution.

You wonder who we survived for 210 years without DHS.

But you see, DHS isn’t really about protecting our national security; it’s about teaching us to be good, submissive little sheep while the regime takes away our fundamental liberties.

Break up the DHS.

Great idea. We should rely more on the FBI, CIA and the military intelligence to fill the security gap.

The Give Obama Power party took care of that yesterday.

The Department of Homeland Security refuses to secure anything, certainly what used to be the United States of America.

Welcome to North Mexico.

“For example, through the TSA, the DHS is now partnering with local law enforcement to set up checkpoints and random auto stops to check for drugs and other contraband.”

Every state and local government needs to pass laws forbidding local law enforcement from aiding the federal fascist bureaucrats. The fascist machine will quickly grind to a halt.
