What's really sad is we let the evil sob's into America illegally. I've been on a soap box regarding illegals for 10 years, and for my effort I've been called every name in the books. And that's been by Republicans.
At least I tried my very best to warn as many folks as possible...
From a fiscal standpoint, I tried to total the annual amount we spend on "security" for our citizens and our country's assets. I'll estimate the amount is well over $100 BILLION a year. It includes much more than $30B CIA, $40-50B FBI, ? National Security Agency, ? Military Security agencies.
All things considered, I'd say we don/t get the most bang for our bucks. They FAILED our citizens - for their primary function is to keep it's citizens secure from enemies. Well, I suppose congress has tied their hands to some extent, and then we had the Clintonistas for the last 8 yrs.
