Alejandro Mayorkas to be tapped DHS Secretary
 
Quote:

President-elect Joe Biden chose Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday to become the first immigrant and Latino to lead the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration policy and border security among its vast portfolio.

He developed programs such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that allowed the children of undocumented immigrants. President Donald Trump sought to overturn the program.

I am not sure how I feel about him considering how the Cuban community voted for Trump in Florida. He helped created daca but what is his stance and politics like now. I have seen a lot of people change political leanings this election.

Well they go through a vetting process so I highly doubt he shifted.

A good choice, imo. Irrespective of background. He will be responsible for returning 2 years to Daca.

So the homeboy who spearheaded the creation of DACA is now in charge of reviving it?

Universe's arc really bends towards justice.

Would they just follow the courts recent order that overturned the wolf memo and restore daca?

Chad is a rabid dog raised by wolfs but Alejandro is a Cuban raised at the high seas and knows how to captain a balsa

This is very good. We like DACA, and life is better with it than without it.

But, it’s not enough.

We want to be citizens of the United States, and we cannot stop fighting for that. Not to mention our brethren not covered by DACA.

Le Petit Caporal was not satisfied with just Jena or Berlin, he marched all the way to Moscow knowing the risks. And although tragedy was the outcome, it did not matter in the end, because he strived for glory. Better to aim high and not reach, than to aim low and go about life as a morally defeated NPC.

Honestly, I do not care about being a citizen, I just want to live my life without fear of deportation or losing my ability to work. Years of being in limbo have killed my desire for citizenship.

If congress can codify daca into law, then I would be happy.

Yep, I agree. I don't want to freak out every two years on whether I'll be able to work, it's awful for my health.

Same here, I don’t care. I just want peace of mind, being able to work and travel without fear and anxiety. Not having to worry about renewing my work permit every year. I wish they give us a like a 5 year work permit where you renew every 5 years but just pay more money. Renewing so often in short amount of times is just a cycle of worry and anxiety and stress.

Same. I don’t care to be a citizen. If it happens, great, but I just don’t want to worry about losing status, my job, etc. anymore.
