Thumbs up Purpose of the Homeland Security

Purpose of the Homeland Security
Re: https://www.dhs.gov/mission

1. Mission: With honor and integrity, we will safeguard the American people,
our homeland, and our vaules!

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its homeland security mission are born from the commitment and resolve of Americans across the United States in the wake of the September 11th attacks. In those darkest hours, we witnessed true heroism, self-sacrifice, and unified resolve against evil. We rallied together for our common defense, and we pledged to stand united against the threats attacking our great Nation, fellow Americans, and way of life.

Together, we are committed to relentless resilience, striving to prevent future attacks against the United States and our allies, responding decisively to natural and man-made disasters, and advancing American prosperity and economic security long into the future.

In the many years since the September 11th attacks, the Department has marshaled this collective vision to face new and emerging threats against the Homeland. To do so, we are instilling a “culture of relentless resilience” across the United States to harden security for the threats on the horizon, withstand attacks, and rapidly recover. We are raising security baselines across the world, addressing systemic risks, and building redundancies for critical lifelines that enable our prosperity and way of life. Perhaps most importantly, we are forging partnerships to strengthen public, private, and international cooperation and crowd-sourcing solutions that outpace the intentions of our adversaries.

As the complex threat environment continues to evolve and loom, the Department will embody the relentless resilience of the American people to ensure a safe, secure, and prosperous Homeland.

In addition to our underlying core values and guiding principles, there are six overarching homeland security missions that make up our strategic plan:

2. Counter Terrorism and Homeland Security Threats
Re: https://www.dhs.gov/counter-terroris...curity-threats

One of the Department’s top priorities is to resolutely protect Americans from terrorism and other homeland security threats by preventing nation-states and their proxies, transnational criminal organizations, and groups or individuals from engaging in terrorist or criminal acts that threaten the Homeland.

In recent years, terrorists and criminals have increasingly adopted new techniques and advanced tactics in an effort to circumvent homeland security and threaten the safety, security, and prosperity of the American public and our allies. The rapidly evolving threat environment demands a proactive response by DHS and its partners to identify, detect, and prevent attacks against the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security's counterterrorism responsibilities focus on four goals:

1. Effective homeland security operations rely on timely and actionable intelligence to accurately assess and prevent threats against the United States.

Accordingly, DHS works diligently to enhance intelligence collection, integration, analysis, and information sharing capabilities to ensure partners, stakeholders, and senior leaders receive actionable intelligence and information necessary to inform their decisions and operations. A critical and statutorily charged mission of DHS is to deliver intelligence and information to federal, state, local, and tribal governments and private sector partners. As such, DHS has the broadest customer base for intelligence products of various subjects and classification requirements. This responsibility requires an integrated intelligence network to eliminate redundancies and a mission-focused approach to producing and sharing intelligence.

2. Secure U.S. Borders and Approaches

Managing the flow of people and goods into the United States is critical to maintaining our national security. Illegal aliens compromised the security of our Nation by illegally entering the United States or overstaying their authorized period of admission. Illegal aliens who enter the United States and those who overstay their visas disregard our national sovereignty, threaten our national security, compromise our public safety, exploit our social welfare programs, and ignore lawful immigration processes. As a result, DHS is implementing a comprehensive border security approach to secure and maintain our borders, prevent and intercept foreign threats so they do not reach U.S. soil, enforce immigration laws throughout the United States, and properly administer immigration benefits.

The Department of Homeland Security's border security responsibilities focus on four goals:

a. By: Secure and Manage Air, Land, and Maritime Borders

b. By: Extend the Reach of U.S. Border Security

c. Enforce U.S. Immigration Laws

d. Administer Immigration Benefits to Advance the Security and Prosperity of the Nation

Mission also includes the following:
