SAN ANTONIO - As expected, the Senate Tuesday passed a bill that allows for the largest revamp of the federal government in nearly half a century.

The Homeland Security Bill (S. 2452) authorizes a reorganization of 25 key government agencies into a single Department of Homeland Security. It abolishes the Immigration and Naturalization Service and replaces it with a Directorate of Immigration Affairs which would consist of the Bureau of Immigration Services and the Bureau of Enforcement and Border Affairs.

The estimated cost of implementing S. 2452 during the 2003-07 fiscal years will be $10.6 billion of your tax funds, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Most importantly, the passage of the bill sets the perfect stage for a virtual coup of the United States with a calculated and massive terrorist attack on American soil that would prove to the entire world once and for all that the United States government doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the American people.

The lovable, affable President Bush signs S. 2452 at the end of the month.
