__Issue Category and Bill Title__ National Defense- S.O.S (Strengthen Our Security)

__Purpose:__ Our bill proposes that we enhance national surveillance so we can find and stop domestic terrorism before it emerges as a major threat within the country. Our methods of surveillance will include wiretapping, body scanning at border checkpoints, airports and harbors, along with background checks.

__Eligibility__: Our bill applies to people who are going in to and out of the United States. That way we will have means to identify anyone who is in the United States, including suspected terrorists.

__Terms And Benefits__: Our bill will create the United States Internal Security Bureau, which will keep track of aliens entering, staying, and leaving the country, in order to keep tabs on them and respond to any suspicious acts they commit that could be classified under terrorism. The organization will keep a database on all legal aliens for quicker identification of them should that action be necessary. There will be nine buildings spread out across the country, each one responsible for surevying their designated area's population. Our buildings will be relativley small in order to decrease cost and space taken up. This agency will be under the direct control of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

__Fiscal Impact__:

Our bill is going to cost around $35,000,000.00 per year, paying off the debts for computers that maintain the database, regular staff, medical staff (10 people per building), and the nine buildings we are going to create in areas of concern across the nation. We will have many computers in each building, a staff of around 20-50 people. We will get our money from cutting back other security organizations like Homeland Security and the CIA and we will also take donations that are privately funded and donated.
