Although President Obama appointed Alan Bersin as the CBP Commissioner in 2009, the Senate never confirmed the appointment. With his term set to end on December 31, 2011, Bersin announced that he would leave his post at the end of the term. However, Bersin wasn't unemployed long, as President Obama appointed Bersin to a newly created position as Assistant Secretary of International Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security. David Aguilar now serves as the Acting Commissioner. As an appointed position, we'll have to wait until after the elections for a new Commissioner, so Aguilar is likely to be with us until sometime in early 2013.
How many actual and acting CBP Commissioners have we seen since 2001?
| Date | Name |
| 9/2001 - 11/2005 | Robert Bonner |
| 11/2005 - 6/2006 | Deborah J. Spero (Acting) |
| 6/2006 - 2/2009 | W. Ralph Basham |
| 2009 | Jayson Ahern (Acting) |
| 3/2010 - 12/2011 | Alan D. Bersin |
| 12/2011 - Present | David Aguilar (Acting) |
If you don't like today's weather (Commissioner), stick around. It will change tomorrow."
