The task of the department is to identify, investigate, and dismantle vulnerabilities regarding the nation's border, economic, transportation, and infrastructure security. The Department of Homeland Security reported in December that they reached their target of 18,000 border patrol agents protecting the land and sea borders of the United States, most of who are stationed along the U.S. –Mexico border. The border patrol uses a variety of tools to deter and apprehend smugglers and potential illegal immigrants, including using dune buggies to combat drug smuggling on the California-Baja California border, mounted patrols to combat human smugglers, and helicopters equipped with thermal imaging devices to find illegal alien convoys at night. There are also many guard posts and miles of fencing, but not nearly enough to act as an effective deterrent. Tags: border enforcement.

It covers three phases. Firstly, the emergence of organised lodges of operative masons during the Middle Ages, then the admission of lay members as "accepted" or speculative masons, and finally the evolution of purely speculative lodges, and the emergence of Grand Lodges to govern them. The watershed in this process is generally taken to be the formation of the first Grand Lodge in London in 1717.

"The president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they've got," Clinton said in an interview at OZY.com. Clinton also defended the law, saying " we're better off with this program than we are without it. " But his comments added new pressure to the Obama administration to fix the problem-plagued health care program.
