Columnist DoyleMcManus' take on the position of Homeland Security secretary: The worst job in Washington.
President Trump and Kirstjen Nielsen when he announced in 2017 that he was nominating her for Homeland Security secretary. She lasted in the job almost 20 months.
But President Trump has focused on only one piece of the department’s vast mandate: enforcing immigration laws amid a sudden surge of asylum seekers. And he’s made it virtually impossible for any secretary to succeed. He’s proposed scrapping the law that guarantees asylum seekers a court hearing, but that would require new legislation — and he has consistently proven unable to get Congress to pass new laws.that would allow the government to hold children longer and deport asylum seekers faster — but all those new rules will face challenges in court. Over the last two years, judges have regularly blocked similar schemes.
It’s hard to measure the effectiveness of a federal agency, especially when it comes to solving a problem as complex as terrorism.But here’s a metric: As one of his first acts in office, Trump ordered Homeland Security to hireborder agents and immigration officers. Two years later, staffing levels have remained static. Customs and Border Protection, which was supposed to expand by 5,000 people, paid a recruiting firm $19 million and reaped only 58 new hires.
