Not on Our Homeland Security Holiday Shopping List
By Debbie Schlussel
So the Thanksgiving break is over, and we have not yet received word that the President has signed off on his planned recess appointment of Julie L. Myers to head up Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
As we wrote, our sources were not sure whether the appointment would happen over the Thanksgiving or Christmas recess–so there is still time to contact the White House to stop this absurd appointment of the completely unqualified Julie Myers.
Meanwhile, in another meaningless publicity stunt, President Bush is accompanying Myers’ chief protector, Homeland Security Chief
Michael Chertoff (a/k/a “Mr. Burns”) to various southern border locales, today and tomorrow, for an umpteenth (empty) proclamation that they will finally end the absurd catch-and-release policy with illegal aliens and to highlight that they intend to do something about the porous border problems (when what they’re really pushing is more illegal alien “guest workers”). So many proclamations, so little action.
Don’t they know that fertilizer is an unnecessary commodity in the desert?
Julie Myers and endless phony claims about doing something with our hemorrhaging illegal alien problem. . . . Neither one is on our holiday shopping list.

Dear Debbie…
I totally agree! I am employed by ICE – Newark after the creation of DHS, there has been nothing but unexperienced appointed directors making decisions on national security issues with little or no experience. Management has been focusing on “policing the police theory”, therefore field agents and supervisors like myself have our hands tied or afraid to make decisions.
Thanks for the great work!
