President Bush's nominee to head U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has drawn the ire of several ICE supervisors and agents who say she is "unqualified" because she has never held a law-enforcement management position.

The nomination of Julie L. Myers "just doesn't pass the smell test and is another indication that this administration created the Department of Homeland Security as window dressing and does not care whether ICE is successful," said Matthew Issman, national legislative vice president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA). "What we need is a strong, law-enforcement leader, not another inexperienced, well-connected lawyer with friends in the White House."

" Bozo The Clown can run ICE."

I propose we put Pennywise the Clown in charge of ICE.

"...she is "unqualified" because she has never held a law-enforcement management position."

From what I've seen, this is a PLUS for her!

I think its the latter.

The President has a history of appointing unqualified people for this particular job (that he doesn't want done).

---Could this nomination be called thinking outside the box?---

If the box is labeled "hiring competent law enforcement administrators who will will be an advocate for enforcing the laws instead of doing nothing like the administration wants them to do"...then yes, this is thinking outside the box.

Janet, your above comment could very well apply to the previous POTUS as well.

Very pathetic.

[kstewskis]

*your comment isn't pathetic, just the fact that this president seems to appoint unqualified people in this position is.*

( just wanted to be sure you knew what I meant!)

[janetgreen]

I did understand what you meant :^).

You're right, it's a pathetic shame that our President is following in the footsteps of the sink emperor when it comes to immigration. I think he's beating Clinton's record, in fact.
