In recent news the Secretary of Homeland Security resigned. Her name is Kirstjen Nielsen;the person head responsible for family seperations at the border and keeping children in cages and poor conditions in Detention Centers decided to resigned. Rumors say it was because the President and his admainistration were frustrated with the increase numbers of immigrants coming in as they have still were able to cross the southern border. And due to frustration from the President and his administration they were and still are pushing for more rigoruous policies to prevent more immigrants from coming to the United States.
Since the former Secretary of the Deparment of Homeland Security could not fullfill the rigorus requirements to crack down on immigration more than what the administration is doing with kids in cages and detention centers being to it’s max capacity so she decided to resign because based on the current president’s crack on immigration she was not doing enough to help put more people in detention centers, deport people at a faster rate, prevent immigrants from coming across the border and restricting refuguess or asylum seekers from getting help to go through the process of seeking asylum in America.
Her resigning leaves me and the undocumented community in a limbo since I don’t know who the president will now appoint and to be honest at the same time it’s a bit scary because we have seen how many members of the current presidents administration who aren’t clearly qualified to be in the positons they are holding. Out of so many people in office who I personally think aren’t qualified to hold their position we have for example, the secretary of education Betsy DeVos, who was appointed under the current president and is not at all qualified to be the secretary of education. Like many of other people who were hired under the current president aren’t as qualified you really don’t know what they might doing so who knows who will be hold that position next.
Since the president wants to be more rigorous in stopping immigrants from coming in at the same time deport them at fast rates. I am unsure if the next person who gets appointed to these position might or might not takemore drastic mesaurres to accomodate the presidents wishes;keeping people from being able to get across the border by enforcing resources to the border to strengthen it so it can decrease the number of people who get to U.S soil (and not allowing to ask for asylum) and contiously deport immigrants at a faster pace.
