ILW.COM - immigration news: Kerik And Other Appointees

DHS Secretary nominee Bernard Kerik withdrew earlier this week amid controversy over his failure to pay taxes for his undocumented nanny. Although his departure has drawn the media's attention to the undocumented problem in this country, for those in the immigration law field, the key individuals to watch are not Cabinet level positions such as the Attorney General, or DHS Secretary. The pivotal positions in the immigration field, rather, are held by those below Cabinet rank, such as USCIS Ombudsman, USCIS Director, USCIS Chief Counsel (and similiar positions in ICE, CBP, etc.). Immigration reform is on the legislative fast track and who stays and goes in these key sub-Cabinet positions will affect the Bush agenda and the Bush legacy significantly. Immigration Daily will stay focused on developments with respect to these key positions.
