   Government appointments must be taken seriously. Decades ago (maybe even centuries ago) politicians began using appointments to government post as a reward to their supporters. Unqualified people in high posts are a danger to our Republic. The practice must end. Mr. President, we love our country. Please respect “We the People” by nominating people who are most qualified to man our government.

   And criminals who are lactating or not are still criminals. Period.

   But a senator dressed in a white sheet is okay? Okay, he was in the KKK but, it is in the past. So is October 31st.

   She may not deserve the job but if a clansman being a senator is okay with this country I say – lighten up and get a sense of humor.

   It’s sobering to consider that bad as Myers is (if George stuck it to the enemies of America to the same degree he does his base, we might actually have a foreign policy worth supporting), President Hillary will effortlessly find someone much worse.

   Nope, no way no how do we have the personnel to deport 12 to 20 million illegals. Heck, we can’t even keep up with the 600,000 criminal illegals in the US… buy, hey, we can sure do a Halloween party and costume contest!

   If acting as costume judge is an example of how Myers prioritizes her time as ICE Director, it says volumes about her poor judgment.

   We need a Patton at the helm of ICE right now, not someone who’s busy blowing up party balloons when there’s a war to be won.

    A necessary requirement for the powerful position Myers is trying to get is that you should be able to see inappropriate when it hits you in the face. If the woman is this dense, she really shouldn’t get the job. We need someone tough and able to avoid stupid situations that detract from the ability to do the job well.

    David Botsford, an attorney for Ramos, said that based on Mr. Sutton’s news release and Aldrete Davila’s testimony, it appears Aldrete Davila was smuggling “large quantities
    of marijuana into the United States” with a visa issued by the Department of Homeland Security.

    IMHO, Ms. Myers was so totally unqualified for the job it borders (no pun intended) on lunacy to have placed her there…I would like to have a nice cushhhh job, flying around the country – appointing my friends to high level jobs, throwing Halloween parties and acting as judge. Sweet! She needs to go and take Chertoff with her.

    Soap, I can’t pull the pictures Were you just funnin’ us?

    I’m hoping to see the lid blown off the travesty of our border agents before Christmas. Mr. Davila has no credibility and will drop the dime on Johnny Sutton if he thinks he’s going to jail.

    The only thing Meyers has demonstrated during her stint with ICE is that she is woefully underqualified for the job. Had her not been for her having an uncle by the name of General Meyers, she would not have even been looked at for this position.

    While the Persident has the power to appoint whomever he chooses, the politics of cronyism needs to be left at the door. How did Ronald Reagan manage to find qualified people?

    The incident drew complaints of racial insensitivity and an apology from Myers.

    And what imbecilic person or group would take the time to impost their judgment of a Halloween costume contest. They surly must have zero cred. She may not be qualified for her ICE appointment but just line up those of the Bush administration that are qualified to do their job, both of them.

    She needs to be fired! She is just as bad as that hack we had Doris Meisner. Who, did more harm to the United States than both Clintons combined!

    Immigration and Custom Enforcement (I.C.E.) has to be the most useless bunch of federal employees (maybe a few exceptions) we have. They make about 100K a year. These Senior Special Agents think they are secretly undercover drug agents! I guess they never heard of the DEA? These “agents” do not want, do not like nor do they even DO Immigration cases if they can help it!

    Local and State police contact them (if they can get a human to answer a phone) about suspected illegals. They tell the police to release the illegals and they will catch them later.

    You want to complain about government waste, start with the ICE. These agents try and handle ONLY drug cases or other cases that will get them some INK.

    So, I am glad to hear she will be canned. We need that Sheriff from Arizona to be placed in charge of the entir3e DHS, let alone the Immigration side of the house!

    1frozenmigra – I’m sure the ICE employees that want to do a good job, strike that – do the job they were hired to do, are demoralized and feel defeated. No company or agency can operate when only half the employees are dedicated to getting the job done. I’m with you on Sheriff Arpaio of AZ. He’d run about half the current management of ICE off down the road.

    Well, I am what my handle suggests. I can tell you for a FACT
    that ICE agents do NOT like Immigration cases unless they can get some “INK” or TV time. Or, if it is a raid or something they can break out their RAID jackets and leg holsters…..Do you know how many local and state PDs have requested ICE come and interview and or arrest a suspected illegal? Do you know how many illegals that the USBP have called ICE about and to date, ICE has done nothing? These Senior Special Agents are all fluff. Most do not even know how to do an Immigration case. The ones who do, the ones who are the workers, are all (mostly) former Border Patrol agents.

    Also, did you know ICE hires people off the street to be investigators? That is like a PD like NYPD getting people straight out of the academy and handing them a Detective Shield and say “You are now in Homicide or Burglary”. These people off the street have zero arrest, zero street time. yet, they head investigations in immigration cases. Hello! The USBP agents should be offered these positions. I mean, they have thousands of arrests. They speak the language of the majority of the illegals and they understand the illegals and how they operate.

    So, she should be fired. Most of the DHS should be fired. Most of the upper management of the USBP should be fired (speaking as a private citizen of course.)

    On-my-soap-box (#10) -

    Personal time is one thing. Directing a Halloween party (phased out of my local schools, by the way, by Middle School) and costume contest is another. especially when you’re pulling a presidential-size salary while directing a staff of nearly 8,000.

    She has command of an army, and is whimpifying the troops. The field agents hate her lack of leadership, but the Democrats love her (until the black face party) because she’s PC. Meanwhile the illegals run wild.

    Her Daddy was Joint Chief, her husband works directly for Chertoff, she was totally unqualified for this very important position… exactly the kind of puff appointment assured to not get the job done. What a joke!

    T J Green , you are so right. The last big wig female at the INS was Doris Meisner. She was an Open Border zealot BEFORE working for the INS (as Commissioner) and went right back to the FORD Foundation (I think)after the INS. However, she did more to hurt our national security while in power. Did you know she allowed LEGAL visitors from Mexico to be able to travel beyond the 25 mile LIMIT set forth by our laws for those carrying the Border Crossing Card. That means they were and still are as far as I know, able to travel beyond the USBP Checkpoints put in place to help catch illegals and those carrying the BBC from making it north.

    We need the Sheriff….The man who has no rules except one, fair and equal treatment to all criminals! ARAPIO for the head of the DHS.

    Wearing blackface doesn’t necessarily make one a racist. It does necessarily make on an idiot. And rewarding this costume took some extraordinarily bad judgment.

    Blackface is never acceptable. Never.
