Is DHS a federal police force?

What is the stated purpose for DHS. Are they a Federal police force or mostly an intelligence gathering agency?

Sure glad that DHS doc came out just in the nick of time for the Tea Parties.

People need to wake up. This has been a growing trend for years. Almost every federal agency wants police powers. Doesn't matter if they really need them - they just want the power.

A lot of times they just want police powers because they see other federal agencies have it. And once they get police powers, the next thing they want is a stronger militarization of those powers.

Here's a good piece from Cato on that subject:

I was a little shocked by the homeland security police.. but recently we have had EPA police stopping trucks.. they have a green uniform much like the forest rangers.. and are issuing summons ,... so it shouldn't have shocked me to much...

The founding fathers would turn over in their grave if they saw the scope that the federal government has attained.

Much of this expansion in Federal "Police" took place during the 1980's-- with a big expanison of the Federal Fish & Wildlife, Park Ranger Police, and even the development of BLM Rangers/Investigors that act under Federal police authority...
Prior to that- much of the duties they perform had been contracted to local police agencies--either State Police or most oftenly Sheriff's Offices...And if major investigation was needed it was handled by the FBI...

We know that OT, but why the need for larger Federal control, instead of increased capacity at the more local State level?

See everybody makes fun of those that believe a NWO is on it's way, while it happens right under their noses.

The New World Order premise is that there will be more control in the hands of a fewer amount of "Elite" or less individual influence.

It's happening. Larger/Less "jurisdictions" under less people in authority. More control in the hands of a few.

Trade, Environmental, Politically correct (hate), Financial, etc.

Take your pick, start with the Packer business and let me know how it's working for you?

Now you know why some were screaming 6-7 years ago about the Patriot Act-- the attempts to expand that under the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 (Patriot 2)-the development of Homeland Security- and the largest expansion of Bureaucracy in the nations history...

sorry, deleted rant.

Good job speaking out about one piece of the puzzle OT.

How bout speaking out now about some of the other pieces of the puzzle, that you are recognizing.

I'm not sure taking the opposite side is working too well!

I hope he takes control soon, and figures out how and when it is okay to defend yourself.

I'd sure like him to use some caterpillars to figure out how the Taliban plans to kill us all when they take over Pakistan!

I see Hillary is still trying to figure it out. She's blaming it on Bush for not giving the Pakistanis enough money to fight the problem. And in the same sentence for not being tough enough?
