Homeland Security Chief Napolitano to Resign
Fox News ^ | 7/12/13 | FoxNews.com

Janet Napolitano is resigning as head of the Homeland Security Department and seeking a post as president of the University of California, the long-time Obama confidant announced Friday.

Officials told Fox News that Napolitano does not plan to leave her post until September. But she announced the move on Friday after it began to break in the media, revealing that she has been nominated to lead the California university system.

"For more than four years I have had the privilege of serving President Obama and his Administration as the Secretary of Homeland Security," she said in a statement. "The opportunity to work with the dedicated men and women of the Department of Homeland Security, who serve on the frontlines of our nation's efforts to protect our communities and families from harm, has been the highlight of my professional career. We have worked together to minimize threats of all kinds to the American public."

Napolitano has ridden out a rocky tenure, having endured a string of lawsuits and multiple controversies regarding the agencies that DHS oversees. Among the complaints, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents accused the department leadership in a lawsuit of failing to properly enforce immigration law. Their complaints center on the practice of using "prosecutorial discretion" -- allowing department lawyers to selectively determine which immigrants to pursue for deportation, and which to let go. Her aides claimed it was a matter of prioritizing resources, though some agents claimed it ran afoul of immigration law.

Well that should help the DHS to comply with sequester cuts with a huge reduction in “Die Hard Battery” purchases.

Just about nailed it.
Cabinet members make about $200,000. The current president of the University of California system makes $591,000.

This hasn’t been confirmed yet? Jan Brewer is taking over when she leaves?

I nominate Sheriff Arpaio. This would help to alleviate some of the immigration issues.

Sheriff Arpaio is not a strong supporter of President Obama, like Governor Brewer, so why would Obama pick him?

Many republicans believe that Arpaio would faithfully execute his duties to keep our borders secured and as such many of the opponents of immigration reform would be mollified.

Well, with Butch Napolitano off to Satan’s College of Perverts and Pagans, His Arrogance will have to scour the bowels of the Progressive beast for fittingly incompetent replacement.
