What I find appalling is none of these people who have quit this job have had the balls to come out and say why they really quit!
What`s wrong with being truthful and saying the way we are treating the children is inhumane???

Washington (AFP) - The chief US customs and border enforcement official is stepping down amid an uproar over the treatment of migrant children detained along the border with Mexico, US media reported Tuesday.


John Sanders will resign as acting commissioner of the Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) in the coming weeks, The New York Times cited a federal official as saying.


In a copy of a message to employees published by Axios, Sanders said his resignation is effective July 5.


His departure comes amid mounting public backlash over alarmingly unsanitary conditions at an overcrowded migrant facility in Clint, Texas where the discovery of poor care and lack of access to showers or clean clothing prompted the relocation of 250 detained children.


Sanders has led the agency since April, when US President Donald Trump reshuffled his immigration offices and tapped CBP chief Kevin McAleenan to replace Kirstjen Nielsen as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.


Neither the federal official speaking to the Times or Sanders in his message said whether the resignation was connected to criticism over the agency's handling of the substantial influx of migrant families along the US-Mexico border.

MSNBC is going to have to build another studio to show all their charts of the revolving door of "only the best people" to have cycled through this administration.

Because they are career politicians. They don't want to burn bridges.
To be a career politician means you have no balls?? Is that what your saying??
Or it is OK for career politicians to not tell the truth..

Hmm..I don't know if I'd say no balls per se, it takes some balls to bald face lie to everyone right? I think we need to get rid of career politicians.

People leaving this administration will be forever tainted by their association with it. tRump is such an asshole that everyone who works for him permanently becomes part of his taint.

Hmm...maybe that was his plan along? Martyr?

just kidding, we all know he's serious. I don't think he could come up with such a dastardly plan.

Yes, we need more Trumps and fewer Obamas and Bidens. "Career politicians" is just like "activist judges" and is gaslighting by the right wing media.

Sorry as soon as you start the 'this that fake crap' I'll tune out. You are just pulling a Trump under a different guise. If you don't believe there are people who like the power and will do anything to keep that power, you are the one being gaslighted. Trump is an anomaly. One that hopefully won't be repeated.

I never said career politicians were fake, I even gave an example of two.

The idea that all career politicians are bad, is bullshit though. It is pushed by the people who want chaos and know that a rotating door makes it much easier to push their agenda. Most of the people pushing that career politicians are bad also fully support Mitch McConnell, just like they support their activist judges.

There are bad career politicians, there are also really bad non-career politicians, so maybe the truth is there are some bad politicians and some good ones.

Because they are not quitting for that reason. If they were they would instead stay and do something about it, or at least be very vocal about why they are quitting. No, they are quitting because if they stay their own misdeeds are going to come to light. They are quitting because they can no longer hide their corruption and quitting is a pretty sure way to not have to face any consequences.

So apparently Trump’s chosen pick to take over US CBP is currently the guy in charge of ICE, Mark Morgan. Not sure if he’ll keep his current job, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he does.

This is the alt-right hard-liner who told Tucker Carlson, “I’ve looked at [detained migrant children] and I’ve looked at their eyes, and I’ve said that is a soon-to-be MS13 gang member. It’s unequivocal.”

He’s also the guy who drew up plans for a national ICE raid before Trump waffles and pulled the plug.

Basically, don’t expect conditions for these kids to get better—expect them to get worse. That is by design.

I'm prety sure this is why TV manufactures are pushing 8k resolution now. Have to up the pixels per square inch to fill in all the names of the departed on 1 screen without scrolling. Nobody likes scrolling.

So yeah - Ttrump making more jobs in the tech industry!

Is that like the time GWB looked into Putin's soul?

He left off the part that he was torturing the kids' parents in front of them while looking in their eyes and collecting their tears. Gee they seem angry. Yup that's a future gang member all right.
