       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Pamela Jo Bondi, attorney general of the U.s., in testimony before the senate justice committee defends the increased emphasis of the Federal Bureau of Investigation on immigration matters: “Every day our FBI, and now U.S. marshals working on a task force with Homeland Security are out there keeping Americans safe and getting illegal aliens out of our country, many of whom have committed violent crimes in this country.”

       NOTE: Although Bondi used the word “country” here, the editors believe that she meant to use the word “nation,” in which a central government, with almost limitless power, treats its constituent states as mere enclaves, provinces, or sub-divisions of its greater self; as opposed to “Union,” which is a union of sovereign States under a federal system, with a central government whose powers are strictly limited by a respected Constitution.
