after 9-11-01, possibly after the big 911 Commission Report on terrorism was written, because intelligence agencies had communicated or coordinated the flow of information very poorly. DHS was supposed to end that.

Just my opinion, but DHS shouldn't be involved directly in border security. Border Security is an immigration or State Dept matter, IMO, until a suspected terrorist is found, and then turned over to the FBI.
