Homeland Security Tops FOIA Requests List

In the wake of so many reports of Fusion Center abuses and the engagement of millions to stalk, harass and torture innocent civilians; I would see why the Department of Homeland Security and Dept. of Justice would be inundated with FOIA Requests. Our world has change; changed for the worse. Government agencies and government contractor base has become enormous, with one of the top government contractors earning as much as 750 TRILLION per year in development of human satellite tracking and direct energy weaponry which has unfortunately been placed in the hands of Fusion Center and local police, and for what...to fight terrorist, NO - to cause harm to innocent civilians in order to maintain the trillions of funding from the government. FOIA, yes. Read The Washington Post report on 'A Top Secret America' to lean more. And we wonder why the United States is hated so. If you would torture your own citizens, why would you not torture and experiment on Third-World countries as well. May God Have Mercy on Us All.

FOIA YES...

The USCIS website has links for genealogy requests. In March 2010 I sent in an index search request in with $20 per person for a search and I included World War II alien registration numbers for my parents, and other numbers I had found in the NARA files.

After a half a year I got the response that USCIS had found one item in their index for my father which I ordered for $20 and have received. They found two documents for my mother, the alien registration and a naturalization document. I sent in $55. for these but have never received them [now in March 2011]. I have sent emails to inquire, but there is no response.

It would be a great boon to genealogists to make the alien registration records of World War I and II available as images on line, and with a search available by AR-number and by name.

The same would be even more true of the World War II enemy alien registration files, which contain more personal information.
