[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked for DHS and one of our agents was killed there (another seriously injured).  A random thing (they were not targeted because they were law enforcement).  Many years prior, DEA Agent Kiki Camerena was tortured for DAYS before they put him out of his misery and dumped his mutilated body at the side of the road.  All these subsequent investigations were impeded and hampered by the Mexican GOV.  For those reasons alone, I won't put a dime into their economy.[/quote]

DEA is a plague on society.  Sorry for the agent but he should not have been there.  The agency should be shutdown and money targeted to our elementary schools.

Here are just a few depressing tidbits on the money sucked out of our economy just to fund the DEA:

The total cost of the DEA from 1972 to 2009 according to the agency website was $536,367,800,000.00 with 10,784 employees in 2009. For the data available for the years 1986 to 2009, the average cost per arrest made was $9,893.09

The first budget listed on the DEA’s website is for 1972 with a  budget of $65,200,000.

The 2011 Budget from the DEA’s website was $2,020,000,000.

[b]The 2011 DEA Budget is nearly 31 times larger than the 1972 budget.[/b]

The official inflation calculator says inflation from 1972 to 2011 represents a 5.4x increase from 1972.  The DEA’s budget has increased near 31x vs 5.4x for inflation over this 39 year period.
