I just saw a promo for a new TV show on ABC. It is a show that follows Homeland Security. Anyone hear about this?

Some links;

There is a forum on the above site that is already debating the immigration issue. Wink

About
Every day the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security patrol more than 100,000 miles of America's borders. This territory includes airports, seaports, land borders, international mail centers, the open seas, mountains, deserts and even cyberspace. Now viewers will get an unprecedented look at the work of these men and women while they use the newest technology to safeguard our country and enforce our laws, in "Homeland Security USA," which debuts with the episode "This is Your Car on Drugs," TUESDAY, JANUARY 6 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.

Comprised of 13 hour-long episodes shot entirely on location throughout the United States, "Homeland Security USA" is based on a popular Australian series now in its fifth season. Produced by Oscar and Emmy-winner Arnold Shapiro ("Scared Straight," "Big Brother"), the series takes cameras into situations never before seen on television, with each episode covering eight or more locations on the "front lines" where the officers and agents work each day. They have a job that is dangerous, difficult and always unpredictable. These aren't heroes. They're average men and women working against an epic landscape. The Department's missions include everything from vetting adoption papers and checking visitors' passports to intercepting undocumented immigrants, drugs and other contraband, and stopping potential terrorists trying to cross our borders. What viewers will see is powerful, dramatic, unforgettable and emotional, with unexpected moments of humor.

"They're ordinary men and women working against an epic landscape," said Shapiro. "They have a job that is dangerous, difficult and always unpredictable. What viewers will see is powerful, dramatic, amazing and emotional, with unexpected moments of humor."

"Homeland Security USA" has been given unprecedented access to the agencies of the Department of Homeland Security and has the full cooperation of CBP (Customs & Border Protection) including CBP's Border Patrol; ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement); TSA (Transportation Security Administration); USCG (United States Coast Guard) and USCIS (United States Citizenship & Immigration Services).

The series is executive produced by Arnold Shapiro. Paul J. Coyne is supervising producer, and Gigi D'Amore is coordinating producer. "Homeland Security USA" is a Nate and Lil Production.

It's about time the Border Patrol was given the recognition it deserves. Illegal alien advocates have dehumanized them and illegal aliens hate and strive to hurt them.

This will be a good way to humanize these hard-working citizens and show the dangers they face at the hands of criminals who mean us harm, as long as this doesn't turn out to be a bleeding heart mush story about criminals.

This show may highlight the illegal immigration issue, as well as help to inspire public outrage so that our innocent border guards Ramos and Compean are set free-as they should be, etc. I hope the program is truthful !

The welfare application for food stamps in my state reads:

You can apply for and get food stamp benefits for eligible family members, even if
your family includes other members who are not eligible because of immigration
status. For example, immigrant parents may apply for food stamp benefits for their
U.S. citizen or qualified immigrant children, even though the parents may not be
eligible for benefits.
➤ You do not have to provide immigration status information, social security numbers,
or documents for any family members who are not eligible for food stamp benefits
because of immigration status and who are not asking for food stamp benefits.
➤ Using food stamp benefits will not affect your immigration status or the immigration
status of your family. Immigration information is private and confidential."

I say this calls for a revolt!

We all need to watch this, and if it turns out to be nothing more than sympathy for the criminals who invade our country, we need to jump right down ABC's throat big time.
