DHS Secretary Mullin Stands Firm on Immigration Policy

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin conveyed a firm stance on immigration policy, stating there would be “zero change” despite recent midterm elections results unfavorable to the Republican Party. Mullin made these assertions on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” where Laura Ingraham referenced President Donald Trump’s suggestion of possible cooperation with Democrats.

“Amnesty will never be on the table,” Mullin confirmed. He emphasized that the agency remains committed to its current deportation strategy, expelling approximately 3,600 individuals daily with no intention to decelerate. “We haven’t slowed down at all,” he stated. The focus remains on removing individuals deemed the “worst of the worst,” including murderers, rapists, child predators, and members of drug cartels.

Mullin expressed skepticism about collaborating with Democrats, noting their majorities in both the House and Senate after the midterm elections. “You can’t trust the Democrat Party we’ve been working with at all,” Mullin remarked, voicing frustration over perceived inadequacies in their collaborative efforts.

Criticism was also directed at the Democratic Party’s leadership, particularly the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), whom Mullin accused of aiming to “defund the country.” He voiced objections to potential efforts to reduce funding or support for his agency, the Department of Homeland Security.

Furthermore, Mullin highlighted former President Trump’s stance on using veto power to block any measures from Democrats that he and the Republicans oppose. “The president controls the veto,” Mullin said. “He will veto anything that isn’t aligned with Republican values.”

Mullin reiterated the necessity of a strong immigration policy for the sake of national security. He argued, “You can’t have a secured nation and you can’t have a secured city if you don’t know who’s in your country.” His comments underline a commitment to maintaining strict border enforcement and ruling out any form of amnesty regardless of political shifts from the midterm elections.
