Police State (n.) A state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic, and political life of the people, especially by means of a secret police force.
From CNN this morning:
Faced with growing pressure from Southern states, the Bush administration wants the military to come up with ideas on beefing up the U.S. border with Mexico. In back-to-back moves this week, the Pentagon began exploring ways to lend support at the border, while the House voted to allow the Homeland Security Department in limited cases to use soldiers in the region.
