McAleenan Defies Trump: Border Policy ‘Went too Far,’ ‘Illegal Alien’ Term Has ‘Racial Overtones
Breitbart ^ | 2 Oct 2019 | John Binder

They were right. On a trip to California late in the week, Mr. Trump turned to Mr. McAleenan, the Customs and Border Protection chief, with a new idea: He wanted him to stop letting migrants cross the border at all, with no exceptions. If you get into any trouble for it, Mr. Trump told him, I’ll pardon you.

After the president left the room, Mr. McAleenan told the agents to ignore the president. You absolutely do not have the authority to stop processing migrants altogether, he warned.

I read this yesterday and when I saw the photo of him and the expression on his face,it all came together. Smug backstabbing A-hole. How he was appointed I’ll never know. It must be that Trump is so busy that he’s delegating the nomination process to someone that is not actually on the team. Who could that be? Whoever picked this jerk should be canned along with the DHS guy. The DHS should be eliminated also. One more agency that can be full of Rats ready to bite you.

He’s Acting Customs and Border Protection Chief. He obviously won’t be kept in the head job. The President has probably been looking for a replacement.

In 2010, Kevin McAleenan was appointed to a senior executive job at Customs and Border Protection by Barack Obama.

Obama promoted McAleenan to the number two job at CPB in 2014.

Trump liked McAleenan so much Trump temporarily promoted him to the top job at Customs and Border Protection in January 2017.

In March 2018, the Senate confirmed McAleenan as Commissioner of CBP.

Almost 30 Democrat Senators voted for McAleenan.

He was confirmed by the Senate more than 6 months ago.

Almost 30 Democrat Senators voted for him.

Obama-appointed so-called judges would stop President Trump if he ordered no processing at all for illegals who invade our country. I’d like to see McAleenan’s replacement slow-walk all processing. Each agent or pair of agents would process one application per day, less for difficult applications. Treat those invaders like the globalist left treats legitimate efforts by our duly-elected President.

‘Illegal Alien’ Term Has ‘Racial Overtones

By that same logic, the terms "bankrobber," "gangster," "serial killer," and "rapist" also have "racist overtones."

The groupspeak language directive on this subject was actually published in 2013:

This guy has back-stabbed PDJT often, I believe. WHY does POTUS make such dreadful appointments? Doesn’t he have enough trouble? Bring in Homan.

Sounds like another enemy of America who needs to be fired or worse. What else has he done to betray the country?

“illegal alien” is the term used in the Federal statutes. It’s an official term.

Another smarmy swamp critter.

Doesn't Trump get any help from his kids in pointing these corrupt pricks out into the light of day?

Trump is better off going down deeper into the ranks of the border patrol, where the real agents are, than using these cardboard, stand ups dolls that hate him and us.

Homan would be great, but some Rino senators would probably refuse to confirm him.
