Budget: Over a hundred jobs are at Homeland Security, which is letting criminal aliens go despite billions unspent from last fiscal year, with hundreds more jobs available at an Interior Department that warns of park closings.
'We're doing our very best to minimize the impacts of sequester. But there's only so much I can do," DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said.
With regard to the release of illegal aliens from detention in anticipation of cuts due to sequestration, "I'm supposed to have 34,000 detention beds for immigration. How do I pay for those?"
Well, Madam Secretary, like other federal departments and agencies that have offered apocalyptic scenarios of tainted food and grounded planes, you can simply stop advertising and hiring new employees, while not replacing those who leave or quit.
It's a money-saving process common in the business world. It's called attrition.
A search of the USA Jobs federal employment website by Pajamas Media, filtered for positions in the U.S. and posted over the past 10 days, yielded 2,596 results, a staggering number of proposed new hires by an administration that halts White House tours that cost less money over a year than one presidential vacation.
The Agriculture Department is looking to fill such critical positions as a recreation forestry technician in Sedona, Ariz., a dairy grader in Winnsboro, Texas, an archaeologist in McCall, Idaho, among 115 jobs the cash-strapped department has posted since sequestration began.

If they are looking at USA Jobs to find these figures. They are going to be disappointed. Just for curiosity, I applied for a federal job in Washington, D.C. after the hiring freeze and was e-mailed that the job announcement was cancelled. So I did it again in another department, same thing. Jobs are being announced and cancelled. Although this does make for a good fairy tale story.
What type of positions have been cancelled? I haven’t seen the few software jobs I follow cancelled.
These “positions” were probably already in the “pipeline” well before the “Sequester” hit. Go ahead and TRY to apply for ANY of them. Your will probably get a notice of cancellation.
