Everyone is looking back at the past year and highlighting their accomplishments including the Department of Homeland Security, who released their year end report a few weeks ago.

Number one on their priority list, according to the report, is protecting the nation from dangerous people, which apparently means immigrants. Yay for the government equating immigration with danger! ::rolls eyes::

The following are selected achievements from this year:

· Turned the tide against illegal migration to the United States through the deployment of fencing and technology along the southern border; the implementation of unprecedented immigration enforcement efforts and operations; and the hiring of additional Border Patrol agents to meet the department’s goal of employing 18,000 agents.

If you can stomach it, you can read a fact sheet on the report (PDF file) here.
