Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, mentioned three possible people that House Republicans would probably like to see replace Janet Napolitano, the secretary of homeland security who announced Friday she would resign from her post in September to become president of the University of California system.
McCaul named Thad Allen, the retired commandant of the Coast Guard, Ray Kelly, the New York Police commissioner, and William Bratton, who has headed up the New York, Los Angeles and Boston police departments.
“I think any three of those coming in would gain much respect from House Republicans and could help us at a time when we’re really trying to push this border security measure out of the House of Representatives,” McCaul said on “Fox News Sunday.”
