Kristi Noem, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to head the Department of Homeland Security, said in her opening statement Friday during her confirmation hearing: swore This is to prioritize the border crisis, which has been ignored for years.
Under President Joe Biden's administration, the number has exceeded 10 million nationwide. encounter Illegal immigration is on the rise crime and cost accounting Billions of taxpayer dollars.
“As a nation, we have a right and a responsibility to protect our borders from those who would do us harm.”
In her opening statement, Noem said, “Here in the United States, staying safe within our borders is extremely important.” “Yet, Americans feel less safe than they have felt in recent decades.”
“President-elect Trump is going to change that,” Noem added.
As Noem pointed out, the Biden administration's border controls are making many Americans feel unsafe. This mismanagement made immigration one of the top priorities for voters in 2024, resulting in Trump's landslide victory in the November 5 election.
“Border security must continue to be a top priority,” Noem said. “As a nation, we have the right and responsibility to protect our borders from those who would do us harm. And we have a right and a responsibility to protect our borders from those who would harm us. We have to build a legal immigration system.”
Noem also emphasized the importance of encouraging immigration authorities to ensure they have adequate resources to enforce the law.
“If confirmed as Secretary, I will ensure that our nation's extraordinary and extraordinary Border Patrol agents have all the tools, resources and support they need to effectively carry out their mission,” Noem said in a statement. “The same is true of my commitment to the great talent of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”
“They are responsible for arresting, detaining, and deporting illegal immigrants, and getting criminal aliens off the streets and out of the country will help American communities become safe again.” Noem he added. “The courage and dedication of Border Patrol and ICE is unparalleled, and I will restore dignity to their work.”
