Man using fake ID enters Department of Homeland Security headquarters in Washington. Now don't you feel safer?

A man using a fake identification card was able to enter the Department of Homeland Security headquarters in Washington, even though the type of Mexican-issued "matricula consular" card he used is not recognized as valid by the United States government.

Retired New York City policeman Bruce DeCell, who had arranged to meet with DHS officials to lobby for document security, purposely used a forged version of identification that Mexican consulates in the United States issue to their nationals living here illegally, he told CNN.

Undocumented Mexicans can use the cards at banks and other institutions that accept them. The cards are not valid for entry into federal government buildings.

Five years since we were attacked. Untold billions of dollars spent. Our civil rights stomped on. And this is the best we can get?

Of all of the jokes that have been played on our citizens the "Department of Homeland Security" may be the biggest joke of all. Unfortunately I am not laughing.
