Nielsen leaving DHS after White House meeting with Trump
Fox News ^ | Samuel Chamberlain

Posted on 04/07/2019 3:41:28 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

President Trump announced Sunday afternoon that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen "will be leaving her position" after 16 months in the job.

Trump also announced that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin McAleenan will replace Nielsen as acting secretary, tweeting: "I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!"

...

Nielsen's departure is the latest staffing shakeup in the department, which was founded to combat terrorism after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

On Friday, Trump confirmed he had withdrawn the nomination of acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Ron Vitiello to become the permanent head of the agency, telling reporters that "Ron’s a good man, but we’re going in a tougher direction, we want to go in a tougher direction."

“She ate Tucker’s lunch while he sat there like in a trance. He’d ask what Trump will do and she kept on reciting “Everything’s on the table.” No straight answers, no grit. Just another deep state weasel and I’m glad she’s going. “

i think tucker was just giving her rope ... and it seemed to work: trump fired her just a couple of days later ...

Well than the law needs to be changed. These people are NOT coming here to have a better life, the majority are coming here because they have been told once they come here they will be taken care of, forever..welfare, food stamps, health care, housing, all on OUR dime..that is why they are coming here..for the freebies..if people want to immigrant to this country, wonderful..if they want to come here, achieve the American dream, have a business, make a living, fine and dandy..but if they are only coming here to suck off the Govt tit, they are NOT welcome

I would add, that anyone immigrating here permanently, must assimilate. We can not become a country of a thousand different tribes with different languages and cultures, many of which naturally clash with one another.

Immigrants must assimilate to OUR culture and our primary, predominant language.

Interesting...

That alleged "like" by McAleenan doesn't show up here: https://twitter.com/CBP_McAleenan/likes

Nor, does it show up here: https://twitter.com/AHrayr/status/1045319388126216193

Indeed, there is so much more work to be done than building the border wall. That, however, needs to be the start to stem the tidal waves of foreign nationals pouring into our country illegally.

This truly is a national emergency.

Trump tried to get Congress to change the catch and release law in the first two years...they would not go along. His first two years he spoke of it often wanting to change the law, so that is not going to happen. I really don't know what Trump can do legally to change the status quo.

Shutting down the govt did nothing, so it is really up to the voters and since the voters gave the House to the dems in November, the voters seem OK with everything.

This has gotten F'in outta hand! I know Trump Associates Troll Free Republic: Thereby, I hereby declare that Trump as POTUS, declare ALL Immigration from our Southern Border be SUSPENDED!
Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act states plainly: "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
Asylum, Illegal, Legal, or F'n Otherwise!

It might be sad for you, but that’s exactly what makes America great. No one forces you to like or dislike what others might like or dislike. In fact the free flow of open opinion/comments is what makes America the stand alone crown jewel of this planet.

There are two very definitive trends on Free Republic, both of which are growing and intensifying - one is antisemitic and the other is anti-Catholic.
Anti-Semitic posts are removed.

As well as anti-Catholic posts.

If you see any, you should alert the mods.

There is nothing wrong with posters posting things they do not like about Catholicism.

Attacking an individual Catholic is not allowed.

There is NOT a trend of either one of the issues you mention.

Perhaps you have links to either to back up your claims?

If you post them here, be sure to ping the Admin Mod or the Religion Moderator.
