The Department of Homeland Security should NEVER have been created. That being said, the fact that is has a high turnover rate is immaterial. Disband it and give the duties to the FBI where they belong.

“STAY ON TOP” ?????????????????

And at the Transportation Security Administration, a DHS agency created after 9/11 to enhance airport security, the hemorrhaging of both senior and junior personnel has had a tremendous effect, said Kenneth Kasprisin, a former acting TSA head who left the agency in May. Fondling the genitals of ugly airline passengers all day doesn't sound like a very rewarding career.

Or are they just waiting to learn about what’s evolving in the news, as most Democrats do.
How about outsourcing the job to a company like Blackwater?

“What do they know?”
The dumb asses just found out who was president.

Be calm, Relax. These are standard indictment avoidance maneuvers. The hard drives will be wiped, the phones recycled, the records lost...
Those who left will manage to be held blameless, the newbies will blame the transition team if anything goes wrong...

Working for DHS is like working for the Waffen SS— Leading humans to slaughter. Those that leave will be spared.

Well, who WOULD want to work for the likes of Obama, Holder and the ultra-ridiculous Jeh Johnson?

DHS created all its own problems :
#1) The administration placed an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood as it's assistant DIrector ; no wonder they have a problem tracking ISIS.
That individual has since quit his post after advocating for the ISIS Caliphate. The 'wolf' was in the henhouse, ..at the front door!!
#2) DHS, out of the EXECUTIVE branch (ie: pRes__ent's office), advertized on 1/29/14 for "ESCORTS" for illegal, undocumented youths comming North thru Mexico.
Therefore, with foreknowledge, they created and assisted in the alien crisis on our southern border.
#3) DHS has made citizens subject to 'grooping', X-ray, and barefoot at an airline security gate, whereas illegal children walk across the border without a pat-down.
Citizens and lawful Americans are being subjected to more scrutiny and inspection without warrant or 'probable cause' than the unknown, undocumented illegals.
#4) DHS has become a Travelers Aid and Tourist Agency for foreigners, and as such has contributed to disease, TB, viruses, Chickymumba (mosquito),malaria , and head lice.
As a result of lax health policy, it single-handedly has contributed to diseases and pestilence which were already eradicated here in the States, or indtroduced new diseases.

Blackwater is the last bunch you ever want to have to deal with. Fortunately they went out of bidness.

I’ve been around in the corporate World, and thought I’d heard all the excuses. THAT one takes the prize.

Blackwater is the last bunch you ever want to have to deal with. Why is that? I mean I saw all the left wing propaganda on Blackwater but it was pretty obvious to any intelligent observer that that was designed to tarnish the Bush administration rather to constitute an actual complaint against Blackwater.

I was thinking the same thing. Excuses are ALL that this admin EVER has. Forget leadership....just make up another excuse for why you screw everything up.

Ummm, so basically they can’t operate without top level instruction on who to not deport? Who to stay in? What a joke. Take initiative, give the bird to the President and Admin, and DO YOUR JOBS.

Excuses, excuses, excuses for "the One" and bumbling bureaucracies in general.
