   This is just another example of the Bushco Crime Family ripping off and stealing the taxpayers money!  The fraud problem stems from Bushco handing out contracts to their politically connected friends without open bids on the projects.

The charges range from political favoritism to limited opportunities for small and minority-owned firms, which initially got only 1.5 percent of the total work.                     Source: AOL News

If our Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement rounds up a group of people that should not even be in this country in the first place, then the poor Hispanics are victims of "racial profiling"?  The last I heard it was the Hispanics that are sneaking across the border into the U.S. Not the Canadians, Jamaicans or the  Jehovah's Witnesses!

   For you assholes that do not know the difference. This is not racial profiling! This is upholding the law of the land!
