Michelle Malkin for INS Chief
Vanity | August 16th, 2002 | Sabertooth

Posted on 08/16/2002 12:43:09 PM PDT by Sabertooth

She's a successful politicial columnist, a rock-ribbed conservative Republican, the daughter of Philippino immigrants, and passionately opposed to the invasion of Illegal Aliens into our nation.

Michelle Malkin would be a blockbuster selection for President Bush as the new INS Chief, in the wake of the retirement announcement of current Chief James Ziglar.







Let the Democrats try and demagogue her.

J.C. is against illegal immigration but cannot see him taking this job. He wants to return to Norman to attend his children's activities and be a normal Husband and Father!

If he wanted to stay in D.C., he would have stayed in Congress IMHO!

He would have my support if he did!

Another idea is to write the Chairman of the Congressional committee overseeing INS -- sure they would love to have a candidate like this to present. Congressman James Sensenbrenner is head of Judiciary who has oversight of INS. Here is his email:

Judiciary@mail.house.gov

Couldn't believe what I heard here in OK today about how there are only two INS agents with four vacancies and they let people go that are caught with drugs and illegal because they don't have the manpower to do the cases.

Tulsa Sheriff said he would rent a bus and personally drive the illegals back to Mexico if they would give the okay! I wanted to stand up and applaud the Sheriff of Tulsa County!

Seriously though, is she in the running? You think Bush would pick somebody that is really anti-illegal aliens?

Let's put her in the running!

There are no good reasons to oppose her, and just talking about her possible nomination will flush out a lot of the phonies on this issue.

Michelle Malkin is a better choice for INS Chief than anyone who's held the post for 40 years.

What makes you think Malkin would accept this postion?

She has a passion for the issue, and great patriotism.

It's important that we just get Michelle Malkin's name out there. There are no downsides to this.

If we get enough momentum that she would even find it necessary to decline, the profile of the Illegal alien issue will be significantly raised. It will be on the politicians' radar.

And so will be Michelle Malkin.

Um...well...that is...OK, I'll just blurt it out: I'm an independent. Not a republican, not a democRAT, not a libertarian, not nothing.

OK, what good independent would oppose Michelle Malkin for INS Chief?

You think Condi Rice is a superstar?

She is!

In June 1999, she completed a six year tenure as Stanford University's Provost, during which she was the institution's chief budget and academic officer. As Provost she was responsible for a $1.5 billion annual budget and the academic program involving 1,400 faculty members and 14,000 students.

As professor of political science, Dr. Rice has been on the Stanford faculty since 1981 and has won two of the highest teaching honors - the 1984 Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching.

At Stanford, she has been a member of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, a Senior Fellow of the Institute for International Studies, and a Fellow (by courtesy) of the Hoover Institution. Her books include Germany Unified and Europe Transformed (1995) with Philip Zelikow, The Gorbachev Era (1986) with Alexander Dallin, and Uncertain Allegiance: The Soviet Union and the Czechoslovak Army (1984). She also has written numerous articles on Soviet and East European foreign and defense policy, and has addressed audiences in settings ranging from the U.S. Ambassador's Residence in Moscow to the Commonwealth Club to the 1992 and 2000 Republican National Conventions.

From 1989 through March 1991, the period of German reunification and the final days of the Soviet Union, she served in the Bush Administration as Director, and then Senior Director, of Soviet and East European Affairs in the National Security Council, and a Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. In 1986, while an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, she served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1997, she served on the Federal Advisory Committee on Gender -- Integrated Training in the Military.

She was a member of the boards of directors for the Chevron Corporation, the Charles Schwab Corporation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the University of Notre Dame, the International Advisory Council of J.P. Morgan and the San Francisco Symphony Board of Governors. She was a Founding Board member of the Center for a New Generation, an educational support fund for schools in East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park, California and was Vice President of the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula. In addition, her past board service has encompassed such organizations as Transamerica Corporation, Hewlett Packard, the Carnegie Corporation, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, The Rand Corporation, the National Council for Soviet and East European Studies, the Mid-Peninsula Urban Coalition and KQED, public broadcasting for San Francisco.

Born November 14, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama, she earned her bachelor's degree in political science, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974; her master's from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been awarded honorary doctorates from Morehouse College in 1991, the University of Alabama in 1994, and the University of Notre Dame in 1995. She resides in Washington, D.C.

Big difference.

Please, I wasn't suggesting that Condi Rice isn't a star, or exceedingly accomplished.

But superstardom also deals with intangibles, the "it" factor. Malkin's got it, big time.

Illegal Aliens are an issue that are going to blow up sooner or later. Nominating Michelle Malkin for INS Chief would be a masterstroke for Bush.

This would-be nomination is no threat to Condi, it's an entirely different field of government. And it would make the Republican tent noticeably bigger.

After reading Michelle Malkin's column on the murder of National Park Ranger Kris Eggles by a Mexican illegal with an AK-47, I called my two Senators' offices--to find that at 4:58 pm on a Friday they'd switched to the answering machine with leave-a-message option.

If their machines did not melt, they'll have an earful to make their Monday memorable.

Our across the street neighbor moved south with his family for his U.S. Customs job. They have to disguise their identities to protect themselves and their families.

They're constantly uncovering moles.

And the flood continues.

Semis are packed and rolling.

We would have an overturned van a week with twenty running away and the rest dead.

And Fox throws a hissy fit because they can't murder with impunity.

By emailing for Michelle we indicate we're tired of the pension-homing bags of sh!t who've been warming the chairs in DC while the front-line fighters dodge lead.

INS General's Warning: Enforcing the border now will considerably limit the number of Holiday Inns the U.S. will be required to build in the desert for uninvited guest workers.

Not like that at all. The scope of the Presidency is vastly greater than the scope of INS Chief. Malkin has demonstrated thorough knowledge in the area of immigration.

Do you know what James Ziglar's bonafies were when Bush nominated him for the post?

He was a boyhood chum of Trent Lott.

Dittos, what you said about J.C.Watts. Good man! I met him before he was elected to congress first time. He was a Corporation Commissioner at that time. For those not aware, that is a statewide elective office. He was the first black ever elected to a statewide office in Oklahoma, and the first Republican Black since reconstruction that was elected to the House.

J.C.WOULD have been re-elected had he chosen to run again, and his district is majority white by a substantial margin.

Take my word for it, USA has not heard the last from J.C. Watts. In his good time he will be back. GO JC WATTS!!!

I didn't say that. It was you who made the comparison.

Sheesh, completely forgot that Michelle Malkin is the subject of this thread. Started reading her articles on Jewish World Review (highly recommended if you are not already reading it), and got hooked.

She is NOT an asian Anne Coulter (no bombs!), but is highly entertaining and can get to the point quickly and in a way that the libs have a hard time refuting.

I see her with a long and distinguished career as a conservative commentator, but would be very surprised if she had any political aspirations.
