I said I thought they were sposed to hunt terrorists
[QUOTE=JimmyChitWood;3596212]You don't think human trafficking money funnels it's way back to terrorists or to bad "actors"?
Pretty awesome thing they did. IMO. Anytime a woman doesn't have a choice it's messed up.[/QUOTE]I didn't research at all before I wrote that. Homeland security was suposedly created to enforce immigration not prevent terrorists. I was aware that Homeland security does not need warrants to enter homes or cars. That was my reason for bringing up that they were included. Homeland security tagged along to bypass 4th amendment rights of suspects.
No I don't believe traffiking money works back to terrorists(ie. isis Al-Qaeda taliban). I don't really believe in terrorists as a threat to national security. They are constructs to scare children and uninformed US citizens (I don't believe nuclear weapons exist either) to justify enlarging government to protect us. I am not sure what you mean by bad actors.
The numbers in the report don't add up. Particularily if you check out the other articles in the report.
82 traffikers in wisconson with 2 rescues.
Nationwide 120 traffikers and 84 rescued. There is a link to a lousiana story at the bottom of the article that reports 2 arrests and 2 rescues.
So we are left with 36 traffikers and 80 rescues that are not detailed. I guess all those traffikers (36) with multiple victims (80) are not news worthy.
Consent and personal freedom as defined by the constitution and the bill of rights are what I fight for.
this is just more bullshit propaganda to convince the public of the need for more police and less civil liberties to protect us.
I hate it when I think I may be wrong but I'm not.
Protecting the American people from terrorist threats is the founding principle of the Department and our highest priority. This is an effort where everyone--families and communities, first responders, the private sector, state and local governments, as well as the Department--must contribute. My approach is simple: direct every resource available towards prevention and preparedness, and ask Americans to live in a constant state of readiness, not a constant state of fear.
Since January, we have forged new partnerships with our international allies to provide more tools in the fight against terrorism. We have dedicated new resources to detect threats at our transportation hubs and protect our critical infrastructure. And, we are strengthening information-sharing efforts, working hand-in-hand with state, local and tribal law enforcement.

From the official homeland securities website. This is what they say they do.

This is what they can legaly do. But check out the scope of their duties which center around protecting federal property.
Attaching ICE agents to nominal police forces broadens their power at a cost to civil liberties.
The homeland security act and the patriot act which followed the 9/11- 2 planes knocking down 3 towers attack should be likened to the enabling act passed by hitler in wake of the riechstag fire. A catastrophic event to frighten people into accepting protective legislation. At the cost of personal freedom. Who's killing more americans each year since 2002 police or terrorist?
this is where my immigration priority bias came from this morning. a good read with good info, but still has a bias.

what our puppet government and media in effect did was to create this traffiking problem in our cities by flooding them with drugs. Then send in the media to define some quasi organized slave trade. then send in the super cops to save the day. each step is highly profitable to the plutocracy running the show.
the real perpetraters are the asshole stepdads jamming hotdogs in thier stepdaughters (I site coochieeater as the source)
teen mothers who need cash to spend at Jet beauty convincing thier underage friends to ho out.
wannabe pimps and real pimps.
candy stores and thier managers who deal drugs.
young abused girls who turn to drugs.
But behind most of these reasons are us. the mongers who feed this system with non sovereign currency which does indeed funnel up to the real terrorists.. the plutocracy running our once great nation. We need to nationalize the federal reserve bank and US currency if we're going to make America great again. Then we need to get rid of currency and replace it with gold backed MONEY.
our current financial system is destined to self destruct as it only works if debt is greater then currency in circulation. We the people need to destroy the current system because if we don't the fed will at a time of their choosing which will be to their advantage. either way a crash is coming.
