On March 1, the Immigration and Naturalization Service will officially cease to exist. But the same disastrous mix of political correctness and political cronyism that plagued INS will preside over the new “customer service” branch of the old agency.
Case in point: President Bush has nominated banker Eduardo Aguirre to head the Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Rank-and-file employees from New York to Arizona—many of them loyal but dispirited Bush supporters—are livid at the prospect of another clueless financier taking over the reins.
So much for boosting post-September 11 morale.
Aguirre will oversee the administration of all immigration benefits, from citizenship applications to asylum requests to work permits. He will be in charge of preventing any more terrorists from exploiting amnesty, student visas, marriage, “adjustment of status” delays, and other processing backlogs—as dozens of al Qaeda operatives, including the September 11 hijackers, have done over the past decade. And he will be counted on to stamp out an entrenched cover-your-rear culture based on the self-serving motto: “Big cases, big problems, small cases, small problems, no cases, no problems.”
SOURCE Like President Bush’s failed former INS chief and Paine Webber executive James Ziglar, Aguirre is a politically-connected banker with zero experience in immigration law. (http://www.vdare.com/malkin/clueless.htm)
