ex-California Senator Barbara Boxer:  "DHS was a mistake, I regret voting for it! I never imagined a President like Trump when I voted to create The Department Of Homeland Security." But, where were the libertarians? Why didn't they speak up. We are right were we always are - trying to warn you of the dangers of state power.
