Reporting from Washington -- A former top Los Angeles federal prosecutor who was involved in a Clinton-era clemency controversy has been tapped to head an influential Department of Homeland Security immigration agency.

Alejandro Mayorkas is President Obama's pick to be director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which adjudicates a broad range of immigration and naturalization issues and oversees international adoptions, asylum, refugee status and foreign student authorization.

"Alejandro's expertise covers a wide array of issues critical to the department, including law enforcement, civil rights, computer crime and international money laundering," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement Thursday.

Born in Cuba, Mayorkas was the U.S. attorney for the Central District of California from 1998 to 2001. He since has served as a litigation partner at the Los Angeles-based law firm O'Melveny and Myers, where he represents large corporations and other clients in high-profile cases here and overseas.

Is it possible for someone like this guy to be objective regarding "immigration reform"?

Objectivity is for Republicans and jerks.

Buy into The Vision of The One and march bravely into the future!

He’s not perfect, but he’s more perfect than 99.999% of people!

So the foxes are being lined up before the hen houses.

Clinton’s stadium amnesty stunt remains as one of the most atrocious stunts pulled off by any modern Administration - with practically no record of it ever happened. These rats are lining up a similar thing cross-nation.

There are not “12 million illegals” here. That was 14 years ago. There are at least 30 million and rising, which means every tenth human you see walking around doesn’t belong here, has most probably latched on to a real citizen’s identity and very likely has children here absorbing resources that would be better spent on YOUR children.

They don’t bother with vaccinations, insurance or the other things mindful Americans attend to. They’re here to take and it’s your duty to surrender to this visitation of Visigoths.
