Homeland Security: What's the issue?
The United States Department of Homeland Security works in the civilian sphere to protect the United States within, at, and outside its borders. Its goal is to prepare for, prevent, and respond to domestic emergencies, particularly terrorism. The department also works to protect our nation from cyber threats, foreign influence activity, threats to the U.S. economy, illegal immigration and natural disasters. Are they effective?

View of Group #1
Airport security – Passenger profiling is wrong, period.
Terrorists don’t fit a profile.
We will strengthen the capacity of intelligence and law enforcement around the world by forging stronger international coalitions to provide better information and communication.
5
View of Group #2
Airport security – profiling and intelligence data should be used to single out passengers for extra screening.
The terrorists currently posing a threat to the U.S. are primarily Islamic/Muslim men between the ages of 18 and 38.
Would like to see an increase in this budget and an increase in the size of the military. They believe that strength is the key to safety, stating “We must deter any adversary who would attack us or use terror as a tool of government
