US Senator Orrin Hatch

Homeland Security

Homeland security is one of the most critical issues facing our nation today, and I am committed to ensuring the newly created Department of Homeland Security receives the tools and resources necessary to protect our citizens from terrorists. This new department restructured our federal agencies to bring our capabilities to a whole new level, and the American public requires that we maintain and expand on our ability to secure our borders, coordinate domestic intelligence, and track down terrorists before they strike.
