The D.H.S. also known as the Department of Homeland Security is a very controversial view when it come s to its corruption or deconstruction to the constitution. on July 24 the US Congress completed the Soviet style Homeland Security Bill. This bill links to the building of the U.S. Northern Command, a military command for U.S., Canada, and Mexico. This goes against the founding fathers posse comitatus (a prohibition of using the military against the domestic population on U.s soil). This bill will also be able for certain topics to pass over or go without review by Congress. This intern allowed for the the attorney General push forward a bill for Soviet-style domestic spying even when terrorism is not involved. This is one of those Domino effects It starts with giving up some civil rights for our protection such as the patriot act. We all agreed it was for the best because we were scared and now they still use that fear only now they try to take more and more of our liberties and say it is for our protection. Yet they do not claim it is for terrorist purposes. This is clearly a slippery slope to becoming a soviet styled freedom as some of our policy's are becoming that way and yet part of me believes that Homeland Security is necessary, yet not to the extent they are taking it. They seem to think they need to be in every department watching over everyone like some sort of secret police. Some say it is necessary, some say it is a violation of freedom, I lay it on you to decide.
