Senate chided for slow OK of border chief - Washington Times: "The failure by Congress and the White House to confirm a permanent head of the agency that protects America's borders against terrorists, drug smugglers and illegal immigrants is a national security concern, say three former U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioners who first warned key senators more than a month ago about their failure to act on the pending nomination.
'CBP is too important in too many areas to be without a commissioner for so long, and the time line concerns us,' said former commissioners W. Ralph Basham, Robert Bonner and Raymond Kelly, noting that the agency performs 'a vital security and law enforcement role' in protecting U.S. borders."
