Just goes to show what Bush thinks of immigration and customs. You think he would have learned after appointing that boob to FEMA.
2.Myers' uncle is none other than the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard B. Myers.
3. And Myers' husband is DHS chief Michael Chertoff's current chief of staff, John F. Wood.
This is just so wrong.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
Be Ever Vigilant ~ Bump!
You are exactly right, Malkin is becoming a shrew overnight. I used to have a lot of respect for her, and even though she is quite young herself she did her homework and is very well written. For the last several years, she has built her reputation mostly on immigration issues. I stopped reading her columns because she is getting nastier and more strident, and seems to be all immigration all the time. She sounds like Pat Buchanan now instead of the well researched well thought out Journalist. There is nothing wrong with Julie Myers getting the job, she has great credentials including her Uncle. Tancredo and Malken are both one note Johnny types and are not worth reading anymore, and that is a shame. I think Chris Matthews changed Michelle and she will never be the same. Another reason to hate his guts.
I always wondered what would happen if they took a "No Shit" type Border Patrol inspector and made him the head of the agency.
Nothing but good could come from such an appointment....
Liberals and criminal support infastructure would implode IMO....
Why do you think that is? Could it be that this administration has ignored the issue for several years and allowed illegals unabated?
Malkin, like many of us honest, law-abiding citizens, are getting frustrated with Bush's complete lack of attention to the invasion occurring under his own eyes.
When will you become shrill at the illegal invasion? After they have taken over your neighborhood, forced your children to learn spanish (or Urdu) to accommodate them or when someone from your family is killed or raped and the perpetrator flees back across the border to avoid prosecution, only to return under a different name with Bush's tacit approval.
Regardless of what party is in power..., "Political Patronage" trumps any consideration of real demonstrated ability!!!
The same was true 200 years ago AND (if we still exist as a nation) 200+ years from now!
Alas, 'tis true. The above conditions were also involved in promoting a young , female Boston lawyer and Clinton supporter to head the Federal Aviation Administration. Her name is Jane Garvey. She never flew an airplane. Prior to the FAA, she was made the administrator of Boston's, Logan Airport for her support of local Democrat politicians. Jane Garvey was head of the FAA on 11 Sept. 2001. Sometimes ability does matter, even in the seemingly most unimportant (?) of government departments.
I wonder if the nations lawyers would welcome the nomination to the Supreme Court of the pilot who, just yesterday, expertly landed the JetBlue liner with its nose wheel askew ? Sometimes, ability does matter.
This person has absolutely no business heading BICE, and Bush has given no clearer signal that he doesn't give a damn about immigration and security issues than to nominate her.
A rhetorical question I assume? Obviously..., the answer is a resounding no.
Where the Appellate and Supreme Courts are involved... "perceived ideology" trumps all! Fortunately, real ability shine through (so long as the nominee has been discreet in his/her writings)!
As an aside, the pilot and crew moved maximum weight aft, lightening the load on the nose gear and brought the bird down in a supurb fashion! I wonder what the hell is the matter with the nosegear geometry on those aircraft?
While I have dealt with missing brake pucks/blown tires/hydraulic brake failures, etc...., I never had to deal with a gear extension which was 90 degrees off center!!! I doubt that many folks have ever had to do so!
empty suits, empty skirts - nothing new here.
To be sure.
I wonder what the hell is the matter with the nosegear geometry on those aircraft?
I suppose that we'll just have to wait for the NTSB report. With the amount of cycle/re-cycle testing of the landing gear in the prototype and certification process, it's not likely to be a design flaw, but probably a defect involving the failure of a small electrical or hydraulic part, or both. However, it would be a prudent design that retracted and extended all landing gear wheels in the direction of flight rather than rotate like the mains of a P-40 or F4U Corsair.
My money is it's a falure of the SOFTWARE!.........(/sarcasm)......;^)
Thanks for your insightful reply. You have personal knowledge of the Myers that few can claim. Let us hope you're right and she is allowed to do her job w.r.t. the porous borders.
Yeah, me, either. But after reading her resume/bio., and seeing there that she's academically prepared to enforce pretty much whatever is requested of her to do so, it seems that "immigration control" is not so much an issue of academics and laws so much as it is the interpretation of whoever employs the enforcers.
In this case, she's answerable to the Bush Administration and it seems that it's a case of "immigrantion control" as being whatever the Adminsitration has in mind, not so much what is on the books.
Just to clarify, I think that's also so with ANY Administration, not just that of Bush. But it has to change. We have an American government today that is "interpeting" laws/legislation and no one's so much enforcing anything as they are applying "interpretations" and "attitudes."
Or maybe I'm only now noticing.
But who could replace Vicente and keep all those people moving OUT of Mexico? He's done wonders in that area.
Geez.., who'd thunk of that???
I prefer Ollie North.
