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.

So this is what it feels like to lose a war and live under enemy occupation.

[Menehune56]

There are an awful lot of people who will have to be fired when President Trump takes office.

[rdl6989]

She should be locked up, not appointed to a position where she can do even more damage and disobey the law.

[Norm Lenhart]

Fire everyone. No exceptions. After a month of relative chaos, q dramatic improvement will emerge.

ALL of them. ALL. Janitors included. Trust exactly no one.

[jazusamo]

Sick! Just plain sick.

[rdl6989]

And treasonous too.

[Lurkinanloomin]

That figures.

The current _resident is protecting illegal aliens from our laws instead of enforcing them.

He would want someone equally as treasonous

[Ken522]

Doesn't our weak congresscritters have to approve of this nomination? Fong's appointment isn't exactly an executive order ....

[laplata]

She receives two pensions from the City of San Francisco totaling more than $277,000.00 a year. She doesn’t need the money. If she takes the job it will be purely political so she can advance the agenda.

[jonascord]

I like how they all are stepping forward to proudly name themselves as traitors and eligible for 200 years in prison. Won't it be a kick if Trump declares his first act as president would be to begin an investigation of the previous administration?

Think of all the Democrats fleeing for the border...

[FlingWingFlyer]

Just another government thief stealing taxpayer dollars and not doing their job. What else is new.

[BobL]

Heather Fong.

OH, MY, GOD. I would abbreviate it, but I wouldn’t be doing it justice.

ANYONE who has ANY CHANCE of working under her, and gives a damn about this country, NEEDS TO TRANSFER, IMMEDIATELY.

...or they will be PURGED from civil service. People like her DO NOT MESS AROUND. Read up on the “Cultural Revolution” if you have ANY DOUBT about what’s in store.

President Trump, taking office in just over a year, almost certainly, will give you back your job

[jazusamo]

Agreed, we have a treasonous _resident in the WH.

[Red in Blue PA]

At this rate, we will need to keep Guantanamo Bay open merely for government officials involved in this administration.

[Paleo Pete]

Is anyone on FR actually surprised?

[rdl6989]

Not at all, January 20, 2017 can’t come soon enough.

Remember the “nuclear option” so-named by the Democrats when Republicans proposed that Bush’s nominees receive only 51 votes for approval?
106th Congress (1999-2001)
Majority Party: Republican (55 seats)
Minority Party: Democrat (45 seats)
Other Parties: 0
Total Seats: 100
Note: As the 106th Congress began, the division was 55 Republican seats and 45 Democratic seats, but this changed to 54-45 on July 13, 1999 when Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire switched from the Republican party to Independent status. On November 1, 1999, Smith announced his return to the Republican party, making the division once more 55 Republicans and 45 Democrats. Following the death of Senator Paul Coverdell (R-GA) on July 18, 2000, the balance shifted again, to 54 Republicans and 46 Democrats, when the governor appointed Zell Miller, a Democrat, to fill the vacancy.

Note: From January 3 to January 20, 2001, with the Senate divided evenly between the two parties, the Democrats held the majority due to the deciding vote of outgoing Democratic Vice President Al Gore. Senator Thomas A. Daschle served as majority leader at that time. Beginning on January 20, 2001, Republican Vice President Richard Cheney held the deciding vote, giving the majority to the Republicans. Senator Trent Lott resumed his position as majority leader on that date. On May 24, 2001, Senator James Jeffords of Vermont announced his switch from Republican to Independent status, effective June 6, 2001. Jeffords announced that he would caucus with the Democrats, giving the Democrats a one-seat advantage, changing control of the Senate from the Republicans back to the Democrats. Senator Thomas A. Daschle again became majority leader on June 6, 2001. Senator Paul D. Wellstone (D-MN) died on October 25, 2002, and Independent Dean Barkley was appointed to fill the vacancy. The November 5, 2002 election brought to office elected Senator James Talent (R-MO), replacing appointed Senator Jean Carnahan (D-MO), shifting balance once again to the Republicans — but no reorganization was completed at that time since the Senate was out of session.

Well, now they could block Obama’s shameful appointments, like this one making the Immigration and Naturalization Service/Immigration Control and Enforcement the NWW (`National Welcome Wagon’), but Boehner and now Paul Ryno and McConnell (`Yertle the Turtle’) won’t do what Reid did, swing a big stick, because the Democrats will say that they are being mean and their paymasters at the US Chamber of Commerce, the service unions, LA Raza, et al. will remind them of the definition of “honest politicians”: Congressman once bought, who stay bought.

Trump in Springfield, IL tonite stated Hitlery’s crime has 6 years statute of limitations and he would direct his attorney general to investigate her. When Zero leaves offices they’ll be a host of sickening revelations of illegal activity, unlawful treason over the coming years for sure. Round them all up. Let the cities burn as well, the pendulum has swung too far left, the retraction will not be pretty either with these degenerate scum.

[doug from upland]

Doesn’t matter. Romney would be doing exactly the same thing on every issue. Stopping the pipeline, not prosecuting sale of baby parts, signing the nuke deal with Iran, creating a vacuum in the Middle East, having Hillary as Sec of State, allowing the Muslim Brotherhood influence in the White House, encouraging black racist demonstrations and riots, etc. Yep, no big deal that Obama was given four more years.
