Arkansas Leprosy Outbreak Blamed on Lax Border Control?

Maybe not.

Deputy State Health Officer Dr. Joe Bates testified that between 2000 and 2005, Northwest Arkansas had nine cases of congenital syphilis, six of which involved Marshallese; 38 people with infectious syphilis, 21 of whom were Marshallese; and eight cases of leprosy, all Marshallese…

…”We think there are two to three times more cases of leprosy than we know about,” he said…

A compact between their country and the U.S. allows citizens of the Marshall Islands to live and work in the United States without being subject to U.S. immigration laws… .

In the meantime, Mr. President, fire this broad.

This is a nonsense controversy. If there is substance to attack her on her qualifications and record, do it with that.

I hate to have to educate you about Julie Meyers but her goes.

ICE Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the most important law enforcement agency in the War on Terror. They have a multi billion dollar a year budget and ICE has more than 15,000 employees working in offices nationally and around the world.

Their mission is Law Enforcement.

GWB appointed the niece of General Meyers, a 36 year old lawyer with no law enforcement experience, to head up this agency. MM posted the following letter in a previous post about Julie Meyers and I suggest you read the previous post here:
“As you probably know, this is the largest investigative arm of DHS and the second largest Federal investigative agency after the FBI. ICE’s critical homeland security mission is directed at all Customs and Immigration violations occurring in the interior of the U.S. These are the officers that have to respond to calls of illegal aliens, drug loads with a border nexus and the detention and removal of all illegal aliens place in removal proceedings. ICE accounts for close to 80% of all arrests made within the FBI’s joint terrorism task force. ICE criminally prosecutes more individuals than any other Federal agency.
My point is, ICE is the lead agency to proactively prevent terrorism in the U.S. Ms. Myers, although learned, has barely the legal requirement to be nominated as the AS for ICE. The law requires 5 years of managerial experience and 5 years of law enforcement experience. Ms. Myers is 35 and has worked as the following(estimates): private attorney 2 years; AUSA EDNY 2 years; Deputy Asst Sec Treasury 2 years; Chief of Staff for Michael Chertoff at Main Justice 2 years; Starr Commission 1 year; Director of Commerce’s Export Control agency 2 years; and the White House Personnel 2 years. The most direct law enforcement experience is supervising 250 Commerce Special Agents which pursues similar violations on export control as ICE. Roughly 11 years of experience to lead the 12,000 law enforcement officer ICE agency. You decide if this is sufficient. I can guarantee you that she would never have been nominated to run the FBI, DEA or Secret Service. It’s almost like the old INS days where they just throw out the political favors. Maybe she’s getting the job because she’s tight with Chertoff. Maybe it’s because she’s the niece of General Myers (Chair Joint Chiefs of Staff). Who knows, but I guarantee you this, the next time some illegal aliens commit a terrorist act on U.S. soil, people are going to be scrutinizing her resume.
Sorry to ramble but unfortunately the majority of DHS is being run by hacks, snot nose youngsters who couldn’t find an illegal alien in Tijuana, and other “connected” people with no knowledge, experience, or business being in the Homeland Security sector. I guess it’s a good resume line to have these days.”

Any more questions regarding her qualifications?

BTW-I think it does matter that she should would be part of this racist contest especially when her agency has discriminated against black employees in the past.

Myers has a position, not a job.

How these DHS have time for a party while there is an illegal alien invasion going on is called being a civilian puke.

Washington Post Fashion Reporter Robin Givhan gushed; “orange is just so becoming on republicans”.

Comparing apples to oranges aren’t we? Who (or what) is the better fruit? How like a Clinton devotee to stir the pot with the old my guy’s admin are better than yours! Too funny…

Oh, and yes, if you really can’t remember who the admin was (of either administration) than I guess they didn’t do squat, huh? Uh, yeah, that Berger guy, didn’t he stuff some classified material down his pants? Wow, that must have been a proud moment for you when that happened, huh, lgm?

Oh, and how was the education secretary during Clinton? Remember anything he/she/it did? Hmmm… I really don’t. Though, as a teacher myself, I firmly feel that either a)the DOE (department of education) should be entirely eliminated, b)all schools should be centralized because the states aren’t doing a great job as it is (oh, and I’ve taught in 4 different states- there is a difference in performance), and c)teacher’s unions really need to stop giving to Dems because there is that conflict of interest. Hey, lgm, you can always hug the NCLB close to your manly chest at night to keep you warm. I bet more federal intervention really made your day. It’s common practice for every president to start some new “educational” initiative even if it’s pointless.

One further note, Rummie was good… the new guy isn’t. He should have stayed in the private sector. Rummie was abrasive and that’s why many military higher-ups didn’t like him too much. I personally never liked Gonzalez-
but then you Dems already know everything there is to know about cronyism (<<<>>> public education) that it’s okay for a Clinton but not a Bush. Like that one way rule thing you got there.

I liked the first Homeland Security director- Chertoff (the second) is a bit of prick. Margaret Spelling was okay. The new FEMA guy is fine… people do learn from mistakes.

Can you name all the chicks Clinton slept with as an encore, lgm?

Now, if other states would follow…

#46:I was watching the local news last night about the Swat officer killed by a latino gang banger. Boy how they tried to get around the fact that he was a gang banger and latino.

Ya. Aint that somethin? The MSM sanitizing the problem so there is no problem. That’ll work until the Mayor of Los Angeles is held hostage by these punks with firearm caches that rival the National Guard (if not surpasses).

Hell hath no fury like an electorate scorned.

Only Rumsfeld?? Nobody can name a single person but Rumsfeld as a good Bush appointee.

Rumsfeld left office early because he had made a mess in Iraq. He invaded with far too few soldiers. When all heck started breaking loose there, he said (and I quote) “Stuff happens.” Asked about troops without armor: “You go to war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had.”

lgm: you obviously missed the point. Rumsfeld was an exampleof how pointless “good” is when used as a qualifier of somebody’s effectiveness.

You mentioned Bob Rubin as being “good”. His fingerprints are all over this lending crisis which got set in motion under Hubba Bubbaz “let’s party like rock stars” era of the current money printing scam.

Rumsfeld was right about going to war with the army ya got. And he inherited Clinton’s top brass officer corps on down to the middle ranks who were not battle tested. By the time the surge came around the President did what the sitch called for and that was to eliminate Rumsfeld. In the meantime, Rumsfeld did what was needed in the time he had to do it…..say what u will
he was right about war— stuff does happen.

Of course the liberal fascist wants war that is neat and done from the air like Clinton in eastern europe with his buddy Wesley What’s His Face over the Danube.

Pish.

Stop bothering me. :LOL:
