Bush DOJ Official hired non-citizen at DOJ.



This is certainly ignored by the media and it needs to be looked at since there is still an on-going issue of immigration. Hopefully, investigators will probe why OJJDP Chief J. Robert Flores hired a honduran General to promote Bush's faith-based initiative.

From ABC News:

ABC is reporting that DOJ political appointee/official J Robert Flores, already under investigation for favoring a golf charity for a government grant (against the advice of his staff) also managed to hire an ex-Honduran General to a $450/day job at DOJ. The ex-general is not a US citizen. And he didn't bother showing up for work much.

And interesting that the non-US citizen general with the no-show job is married to a major GOP fundraiser:

Fonseca attended Church with Flores, according to DOJ staffers, and is married to Deborah Lynne De Moss, a major GOP contributor. Fonseca himself donated $2,000 to Bush in 2004, the same year he was hired, and reportedly raised about $50,000 more on behalf of the president...

And there is more. Here is their wedding announcement from 1994 from the New York Times:

WEDDINGS; Deborah De Moss, Rene Fonseca

Deborah Lynne De Moss, the director of Latin American affairs for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was married Wednesday to Hector Rene Fonseca, a colonel in the Honduran army. The Rev. Steve Brown, a Presbyterian minister, officiated at the First Baptist Church of Palm Beach, Fla. The Rev. Keith Thomas, a Baptist minister, took part in the ceremony.
Mrs. De Moss Fonseca graduated from Wheaton (Ill.) College and received a master's degree in Latin American studies from Georgetown University. She is a daughter of Nancy Sossomon De Moss of Philadelphia and the late Arthur S. De Moss.
Colonel Fonseca, who is known as Rene, graduated from American University and received a master's degree in military arts and sciences from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He is the president of the Military Pension Institute in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. He is son of Marcos Fonseca of San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and the late Esther Fonseca. His first marriage ended in divorce.

Millions have lost their job and millions more will lose their job while non citizens get jobs because they are friends of the President. At lease we know it's better to be none American if you want a job in America.
