You knew this was coming. Created in the panic after Sept. 11, and even as Muslim immigrants flood into the United States, the Dept. of Homeland Security has nothing better to do than to watch the rest of us:
The Department of Homeland Security is seeking bids from companies able to provide law enforcement officials with access to a national license-plate tracking system a year after canceling a similar solicitation over privacy issues. The reversal comes after officials said they had determined they could address concerns raised by civil liberties advocates and lawmakers about the prospect of the departments gaining widespread access, without warrants, to a system that holds billions of records that reveal drivers whereabouts.

Suppose they have their hands in OnStar and maybe your cell phone GPS as well. Nah. OUR govt would never do anything like that. I know I sure slept better last night knowing that the govt has my six.

This author is a little late to the game. The feds already track our emails, texts, phone calls, social media postings, U.S. mail, financial transactions, online purchases, etc.
All with the blessings of the Demublicans and Republicrats.

Homeland Security has become part of King Obama’s gestapo. Damn, this is the way Nazi Germany started. Bit by bit and a hard core communists black Muslim to direct it. The only way he will include Muslim in his conquest of America is he is a coward and needs Muslims to be his Ally.

I could see through this once RINO Bush concocted Homeland Security after 9/11. I recall making an instant comparison of “Homeland” to “Father Land” aka Nazi Germany and knew full well once this outfit was in the hands of liberals it would be our very own Gestapo.
If the government ever becomes Americanized again, and our leaders decide it’s time to downsize, Homeland Security can be trashed along with the EPA among others.
I see Cruz, maybe Walker, as the last person standing between the hammer and that last nail in our coffin.
People like Jeb or Hillary will drive that last nail, maybe even put a few more in just to make sure the lid never comes off again.

If we EVER get another American president like Cruz or Walker, the first thing we need to get him to do is get rid of these Big Brother spy on Americans agencies. They give me the creeps. They are not an American thing.

They were designed from their inception to spy on us and put the boot down if necessary. Michael Chertoff brought in two ex-KGB generals, Markus Wolfe (STASI) and Yevgeny Primakov (KGB) to ‘advise’ him on security. Their specialty was surveillance and keeping your own people in constant fear.

Bush concocted Homeland Security after 9/11
Bush did not concoct DHS, Congress did that and forced it on him. He argued in several different speeches that it would put another layer of bureaucracy to emergency situations. He put a person in oversight of the different agencies which dealt with these kinds of situations, but did not want a new agency.
This was Congresses idea to show they were doing something.

The creation of the Office of Homeland Security was done via Executive Order 13228 by......President George W. Bush. Not Congress.

The spies will go deep to continue their work and Cruz/Walker would never be told of their existence.
