Biden picks first Latino to lead Homeland Security
By Rafael Bernal - 11/23/20 03:10 PM EST

President-elect Biden is naming Alejandro Mayorkas as the next secretary of the Homeland Security Department, the first Latino to lead the department at the center of immigration policy.

Hispanic community advocates and immigration activists praised the selection, saying Mayorkas is a homeland security professional with personal empathy for immigrants.

“We are thrilled with President-elect Biden’s historic selection of Alejandro Mayorkas to lead the Department of Homeland Security," said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center.


"This represents an exemplary choice that will not only serve our next president, and the American people well, but also sends a strong signal to immigrant communities that the Biden administration fully intends to follow through on their commitment to undo the harms of the Trump administration," added Hincapié.

Mayorkas, 60, is a lawyer best known for his stints as director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and as deputy secretary of Homeland Security, the number two spot at the agency.

Quite frankly, Biden is going to do what he's going to do.
 
I'm more interested in trying to find a way to move forward and  find a way to create a strong and overwhelming opposition party...finding a leader is the first step.

Like it or not, Trump is the only choice, if you ditch him, we're starting from scratch, and the fact is, he still got over 70+ million votes.

I understand the overwhelming support Trump has, but he's also 74 years old.  Do you still think he's going to continue in politics?  I think he'll go back to his life before he ventured into politics.

He can still be the Kingmaker and galvanize the faithful and promote MAGA candidates to run against the RINOs.  Personally I think Ron DeSantis is the MAGA Candidate for 2024.

The agency is only 17 years old. There have only been six permanent secretaries in that time frame. Let's not act like this is some groundbreaking, glass-ceiling-shattering hire.
