Barack Obama’s presidency has been characterized by executive overreach and a total disregard for the rule of law. Recently, a 5th circuit panel ruled against his executive actions on immigration.
Say this for Obama: he’s not a quitter. Instead of taking executive action, he’s considering appointing someone who will treat illegal immigration as an opportunity to look the other way. As Fox News reports:
A former San Francisco police chief and vocal supporter of a sanctuary cities policy is on a short list of candidates to become the new chief of the Border Patrol, according to sources.
As police chief, Heather Fong shielded illegal immigrants, including aliens who committed crimes, from deportation. In contrast, it is the job of the U.S. Border Patrol to catch and deport all illegal immigrants, including those with a criminal history.
“If they bring (a police chief) in for political purposes based on the sanctuary cities model, that politicizes the job and I think it completely undermines credibility and morale in the organization,” House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul, R-Texas, told Fox News.
“If you have someone who is advocating for sanctuary cities, that’s the opposite side. They welcome these illegal immigrants to stay in the country. And so I think it’s at cross-purpose with the mission itself.”
Fong, according to Border Patrol, DHS and Capitol Hill sources, is one of several candidates to replace current chief Mike Fischer, who announced his resignation last month.
It’s clear that the Democratic Party has lost any regard for the will of the American people. The Obama Administration has appointed political hacks to target enemies and flout the laws of this country to support their liberal agenda; the two candidates leading in the polls have promised executive action as a prescription for nearly everything, pretending Congress doesn’t exist. Throughout it all, these threats to our democratic system of governance have simply been brushed off by a compliant media.
Americans deserve better.
