Expand Expedited Removal, Mr. President
 
By Dan Cadman on April 17, 2019

Dear Mr. President:

Recently, exhibiting your dissatisfaction with the status quo, you accepted the resignations of your Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary and deputy secretary, and the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying you wanted tougher, bolder actions than apparently they were capable of providing.

For the moment, you've designated the Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, Kevin McAleenan, to act as the DHS secretary, saying you think he'll do a good job. Personally, I disagree, and think you are destined for disappointment. McAleenan will never be another Tom Homan, Mr. President, and not just because his personal style is different. He has no skin in the game; he's just riding the margins. The problem is that he has no pedigree, no institutional knowledge whatsoever, in immigration matters; he hails from the customs side of the house — and, yes, Mr. President, that does make a difference. No matter what new ideas are discussed in the inner counsels of government, McAleenan will forever be in catch-up mode, no matter how quick a study he is, because he doesn't have the background to know what works and what doesn't where immigration is concerned. But that's perhaps a conversation for another day.
