U.S. Immigration Chieftess Wears Mexican Eagle
Uh-oh! On January 9, 2006--her first day on the job, Julie L. Myers, Assistant Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a/k/a the "ICE Princess" wore a Mexican eagle pin. Not a good symbol about her intentions in enforcing our nation's immigration laws.
It's bad enough that the ICE Princess has decided to follow in the the Madeleine Albright tradition of wearing ugly brooches, but the Mexican Eagle?!
In fact, the pin was featured in Julie Myers' official ICE photo that hangs in the offices of the Homeland Security agency, known as the "ICE Palace." AND it was featured in the photo atop Myers' online bio at ICE's website. Observant ICE agents pointed out this glaring symbol of deadly open borders sported on Ms. Myers' chest (over her heart). And someone must have also pointed it out to ICE's public affairs, because they've now cropped the Mexican eagle out of the photo (you can still find the eagle if you click on her photo, but we're sure they'll soon crop that one, too).
They can crop the Mexican symbol all they want. It will not change a thing. Like everything else emanating out of Myers and ICE's cornupcopia of PR, it's merely cosmetic surgery with no change in mindset. The reality is that our nation's top immigration official supports open borders and expanding guest workers programs, and she hasn't done anything to stop the ever-increasing illegal immigration problem. Her Freudian slip of brooch choice said it all, which is why we've posted it here, where ICE PR cannot crop it out.
In case, Ms. Myers needs help telling the difference (and apparently she does), we've assembled some examples of the Mexican eagle (from various Mexican flags) with its wings pointed down versus examples of the more glorious American eagle with its wings bravely outstretched.
Attention Julie:
Here are the Mexican Eagles (just like your pin):
Here are the American ones, ie. YOUR country (try your local Walgreen's):

I love the faux-tough look she's giving for her photo. Sure makes me feel safe...NOT!

What is up with the Ruth Bader Ginsberg look and that lipstick.
Why do woman that are in over their head, in a job they never learned anything about, try to look tough in their PR photos. Only in the Politically Correct world of Washington, would anyone take this seriously.
I feel sorry for the real law enforcement officers that have to work for her.
What a poser
Kudos to Debbie for her attention to detail.

I feel like I am being hypnotized while looking at that pic.
Those eyes! Those eyes! She's just staring, and staring, and staring at me.

Mud wrestling, I give Debbie 3 to 1 odds.
Stare down, no contest, Ice Princess wins in a landslide.
I keep looking at that pic and feel like she's doing the Jedi Mind Trick on me.

The swastika was a relatively common symbol for decades before the Nazis appropriated it as their symbol. Does that make it OK for public figures to wear a swastika on their lapel?
A symbol from the Mexican flag takes on a little different connotation now than it did in the days of Lady Bird Johnson, especially when the wearer is charged with enforcing the immigration laws and especially when those laws are being ignored.

And why did ICE crop out the Mexican eagle in subsequent photos if the symbol is so harmless?
