Bill Increasing Homeland Security's Budget Passes House

From The Washington Post/AP:

The House passed, 389 to 37, a $44 billion spending bill last night that awards the Homeland Security Department a 7 percent budget increase, with money for more border patrol agents and for anti-piracy efforts off the coast of Somalia.

As part of a GOP campaign against President Obama's order to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the bill requires the department to conduct threat assessments for the terrorism suspects being held there. It also requires that the department ensure that detainees are placed on its "no-fly" list and denied immigration benefits including admission into the United States and refugee status.

My Comment: This big budget increase represents a shift of giving resources to the U.S. Department of Defense to combat terrorists abroad, to increasing Homeland Security and the defense at home.

Is this a prudent move? From my perspective, I have doubts.
