Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Immigration Policy

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin emphasized a firm stance on immigration policy, assuring there will be “zero change” following the recent midterm elections. The elections were seen as unfavorable for the Republican Party. Mullin’s statements were made during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” where host Laura Ingraham noted President Donald Trump’s suggestion of bipartisan cooperation.

Mullin firmly stated, “Amnesty will never be on the table.” The Department of Homeland Security continues a rigorous deportation policy, expelling approximately 3,600 individuals daily, with a focus on those considered the most dangerous.

Despite the Democrats gaining control of both the House and Senate, Mullin expressed a lack of trust in bipartisan cooperation with the Democratic Party. He accused the Democratic Socialists of America, an influential group within the party, of advocating for defunding the nation and particularly the Department of Homeland Security.

Mullin underscored the necessity of strong border security, calling it essential to national security. He reiterated that ongoing deportations are crucial, even as he criticized Democrats’ efforts to alter immigration policy.

He referenced President Trump’s readiness to use his veto power to block any legislative measures that Republicans and the president find disagreeable. “The president will not sign anything that isn’t in alignment with the Republican Party’s vision for the country,” Mullin stated.

Mullin concluded by emphasizing the importance of strict immigration policies, declaring, “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.”
