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.

“some Rino senators would probably refuse to confirm him.”

I expect you’re right. The RINOs will screw Trump at every turn. God bless and protect him. I fear that once this most recent coup attempt has been thwarted the RATs will resort to ... well ... you know.

Father God, place a hedge of protection around our President, in the mighty Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Trump already has the words well-rehearsed: “You’re Fired!”

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 head of any agency never gets involved in personnel selections at lower levels. They just are far too busy performing their own job! There are countless backstabbers in any organization and as government employees, their "protections" are countless, particularly at the career SES Level!

the use of political undertones is designed to hide the precise legal status of illegal aliens

“Mr. McAleenan told the agents to ignore the president.”

This statement sounds like insubordination and grounds for dismissal.

Trump does have one problem, he is surrounded by disloyal scumbags.

Just another one of those guys you give a job to that later decide, I don’t want to do that job or I’d rather change my job to something else like; activist or community organizer.

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.

That's what I don't understand. One of the sector chiefs would be infinitely more qualified than this moron. He thinks he's running a politically correct "welcome wagon". This is one of the positions that needs to be moved out of DC to Texas or Arizona.

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

I figured he was an Obama appointee.

White males are being hunted to extinction in large organizations in both the public and private sector. Toe the PC line or your career is over.

Thanks. I thought he was still in Customs and Border Patrol, not Homeland Security Chief.

I love how Trump forced these deep state Rats out into the open. I expect him to be fired either today or tomorrow (hopefully).
