Nielsen’s resignation as DHS secretary comes amid a surge of illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and an expanded Catch and Release policy that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has been tasked with carrying out.
During Nielsen’s tenure as DHS secretary, illegal immigration has increased nearly every month over the last year and a half. Simultaneously, the Trump administration has yet to construct a border wall on new land at the southern border that did not previously have barriers built by the Bush and Obama administrations.
Most recently, officials with the National ICE Council accused Nielsen of “grossly” mismanaging DHS and failing to acknowledge that the agency had been operating an expanded Catch and Release policy for border crossers and illegal aliens for months.
As Breitbart News chronicled, Nielsen previously served in the Bush administration overseeing a crisis team following the destruction of New Orleans, Louisiana, by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The Bush administration had waved federal regulations to allow an unlimited level of illegal immigration into the Gulf Coast to take low-skill jobs rebuilding the region. Nielsen previously chaired a World Economic Forum committee that authored a report praising mass migration into Europe. For her confirmation process to DHS, Nielsen worked with an assortment of allies that worked vigorously in the 2016 presidential election to oppose Trump, including Frances Townsend and Tom Ridge.

He opposed it at first but caved.
“Trump has never been sincere about enforcing immigration law.”
What the eff is he supposed to do, patrol the border himself? If he hadn’t been POTUS, they’d be coming in by the thousands daily and no one would be blinking an eye.
He’s been shouting it from the rooftops since day one, and what support does he get? Zilch from congress.
And the laws as written don’t do squat to stop illegals.
Sheesh.
Our greatest general ever!
BTTT!!
Sherrif Joe would have been an excellent choice for several reasons: Liberal heads would explode and he gives zero F’s about what public opinion is towards the actions he takes. I spent 25yrs. in corrections, and when Joe treated inmates the way every jail administrator should have, I was a fan from day one.
