Child Porn, Coke Smuggling: 318 DHS Employees Arrested in 2011: Has America Been Corrupted?

Not a recent occurrence, though...I'd say at least 100 years of US corruption being quite rampant, if not longer...quite the hypocrites in a plethora of ways, IMHO...

Begs the question ..
is DHS Hiring directly from the Sex Predatory Registry?
(or right there at the prison doors when they are paroled?)

Good grief ..
this is not only ALARMING ..
it is SAD and SICKENING ..
shows clearly the Corruption/CRIMINAL Activity (and Organized Criminal Activity) endemic within the Department itself ..

We have been corrupt.

"Government employees succumb to the same human flaws as private employees, so one can expect an increase in corruption as government gets bigger."

The main argument, then, is the larger a particular workforce is, as long as it involves people...you'll see more corruption in it.

Ironically, this defeats an argument that we should increase the private sector, potentially. Considering that government employees are at least legally and practically subject to significant responsibility to all citizens...private employees really aren't.

So, you want to transfer the corruption to the private sector...where the U.S. citizen can't hold it responsible (you know, unless it's publicly traded and we buy shares)?

...NOT THE MAJORITY, JUST THE DISGUSTING BAD APPLES. CATCH THEM, AND ADMINISTER "JUSTICE!"

When I was in school, around the high-school years, a councillor was appointed because I am extremely ADD. To get to the point, she was appointed to the school by DHS, and was coming on to me very hard, including offers of monwy within the multiple thousands range. I was into music gear at the time, and my family owned a business, allowing me to not only aquire, but work for my gear while I schooled. She was arrested, and decommissioned as a result of coming on to the wrong person, in front of the school PRINCIPAL. Now, I am not above her, she was very attractive, however, her professional standing should have taken precedent over her personal and risk standards. She got what she deserved, and now, sadly, is gainfully employed at a college. I am all for reform, but I feel like she will do this again.

It's a chaotic free-for all.

It always has been. When there's money involved your going to find corruption.

And it just all got wprse in '06 when the democrats took over the houses of congress

It was much worse in the 1960's.

While I love my country, I realized a long time ago, that the people living in it, and even a fair few of those running it, are just as corrupt, if not more so, as people outside the US. We hope we're better, many of us think we're better, but we are just the same as everyone else sharing our planet.

This is a very interesting issue and I am going to include some historical background in this comment. It was the Banksters (Illuminati) that started WWI, specifically to rid Europe of all monarchs. Henry Ford correctly stated that it was the bankers that started WWI, in his 1914 newsletter. Why did the Banksters want to get rid of the monarchs? Simple, any democracy or communistic government are far easier to corrupt than one stubborn
monarch, because there are more people to corrupt and more proliferic when more and more agencies are added, for which most of the United States Government is comprised of unconstitutional agencies, such as the FBI, FDA, IRS, FCC, Homeland (in) Security, which is security for our socialistic government than for its citizens and many others that have no place under what used to be a "republic", until 1871. Corruption happens on many levels and even more incidious, is the firing of whisle blowers. Even when the Chinese completed the "Great Wall", it soon became a moot project when the guards were bribed to let the enemy in.

what do you mean by the banskters? Illuminiti they are now joined at the hips with free masonry now too right? They are employed in governments , business' and so on.
This is why corruption has begun..and won't end unti people educate themselves on what they thought was gone l00's of years ago!

Not only has it become corrupt but it has also lost its moral background.

One must first take into consideration who's in charge of DHLS. Then way the facts to get the final conclusion that this would be suspected. I'm surprised Janet has enough sense to tie her own shoes

La pregunta es ... Todavía confía en Dios? Su dinero así lo dice.... Y su corazón? de México .... mejor no hablamos... = S

(The question is... In God trust yet? Your money say that.... And your heart? Mexico .... better not speak ... =S)

Has refers that it was not in the first place

As someone said...corruption starts at the top and flows down...this is a perfect example of that

Duh!

The corruption in the government agencies mirrors the administration.

Uhh...i don't think it hasn't been for a while.

Long ago.

Of course politics has been corrupt for years

I can't wait 'til the whole country resembles Chicago.

Sadly yes, integrity is on the decline as institutions that promote virtue have been under attack mostly from the left.

And if he hadn't hired more DHS personnel you'd accuse him of being soft on terrorism and immigration.

At least be honest, Fef, and admit to yourself, if no one else, that nothing the President does would please you.

Come on folks the body that dies is corupt because it dies. Gods glory is hell to this body that dies. Don't act like Jesus is not having him in you, and whoever will corupt the soul. Who acts like Jesus, people that arrest people or people that don't arrest people? This should be a simple question.

So has our politicians, police and total judicial system from the president on down!

Since Obama's Lack of leadership anything goes. I hope people will wake up and kick Obama's ass to the curb.I think Obama's prerequisite to employment with the Fed. Govt. is to be a criminal.

We have too many laws and the public employees feel entitled. It forces people to cut corners and for law enforcement to pick/choose when and how they enforce the law.

Low level government employees have always had too much power with not enough oversight to keep them in line.

Our branches of government were built on a system of checks and balances. As you dwindle down to low level employees, such as the ones mentioned in the above article and other civil protectors, like cops (huge one here), the sheer number of employees to oversee is too large.

They know of the gross lack of oversight on their actions, which does nothing but encourage them to push the envelope further and further to see, exactly, how much they can get away with.

That's really sad.

Politicians from low level in-state to D.C, musicians, actors, COP's, Wall Street, Corporations, and the list goes on and on.

The Patriot Act and Homeland Security were started by who? Who took away a multitude of your rights and privacy as an American citizen. Who was it did you forget? Or are you still blaming the wrong person for this?

Who is the President now? Have you forgotten already? Who is using these programs and expanding them now under his unelected Czars?

Every president uses the power that is already in existence to extend the influence of the Executive branch during his (perhaps sometime soon, 'her') term.

Blaming Obama for the unconstitutional legislation Bush got passed is akin to blaming failing bank CEOs for requesting government bailout funds they did not deserve because they knew they'd get them.

Is Obama right to be extending this power? NO. Can you actually blame him for using it? Also, No.

Using it? No problem. Abusing it? YES we can! (blame him)

One TSA employee was arrested with 8 stolen iPads in his home. Apparently he was too stupid to know that they have built in tracking options. If he'd gone to the Apple Store he'd have known that.

but we're weeding them out... one Republican at a time.

Indeed.. One Democrat at a time as well.

Do bears live in the woods!!!!

America is sooooo corrupt yet the dumbed down flocks of sheeple think another election is going to save them!!!!!

America - Land of the Sheep and Home of the Slave!
