Seems Fox News really pushed Mark Morgan, this Obama era retread to be the next border chief, and it worked. Morgan has been a frequent guest on Fox News shows talking all tough of how he’d be with the border. Yet, this is the same Mark Morgan who while working for Obama let the free flow of illegal aliens flow into this country without so much as lifting a finger to do a thing about it. Now, Trump has taken the bait and appointed this retread. Forgive me if I’m skeptical. The job should have been offered to Kris Kobach, not an Obama retread.

President Trump announced on Sunday that the former head of the U.S. Border Patrol under President Barack Obama will be his administration’s new chief of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Trump in a tweet on Sunday announced that Mark Morgan will take over as head of ICE — replacing former acting ICE Director Ronald Vitiello, who resigned earlier this month.
“I am pleased to inform all of those that believe in a strong, fair and sound Immigration Policy that Mark Morgan will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE,” Trump tweeted Sunday. “Mark is a true believer and American Patriot. He will do a great job!”
