Former Official Reported in Line as “Border Czar”
Posted By Sheldon Richman
“The Obama administration will name former Justice Department official Alan Bersin to oversee its policy on illegal immigration and drug-related violence along the U.S. border with Mexico, Politico reported on Tuesday…. A former U.S. attorney in San Diego, Bersin served previously as ‘border czar’ to former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, the report said.” (Reuters [1], Wednesday)
Any government job that seems czar-like can’t be illegitimate.
