Trump’s DHS Nominee: ‘Ready to Work with Congress’ on DACA Solution

NIELSEN CONFIRMATION QUESTIONNAIRE: Kirstjen Nielsen, the president’s nominee to become Homeland Security secretary, will interview today with the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee staff as part of the confirmation process, according to two sources with knowledge of the meeting. Morning Shift obtained a copy of Nielsen’s pre-hearing questionnaire, in which she fielded inquiries about everything from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to her role in the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Her confirmation hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

Asked if she favored a path to citizenship for DACA enrollees, Nielsen fudged. “Congress has a clear constitutional policymaking authority to change immigration law in order to develop a permanent solution for those individuals that were [DACA] recipients,” she wrote. “If confirmed, I will stand ready to work with Congress to provide any technical assistance needed towards a permanent, legal solution and towards enacting measures that enhance border security, interior enforcement, and our immigration system generally.”

Nielsen also fudged on whether DHS would use for enforcement purposes data supplied by DACA recipients. “If confirmed, I will ensure that DHS continues to follow the law, including federal court decisions,” she wrote. “As I understand it, since the beginning of the DACA program, information obtained from someone with deferred action has not been provided proactively except in specific circumstances such as when the individual poses a risk to national security or public safety. Should I be confirmed, I will quickly and more thoroughly assess this issue.”

Nielsen, who is currently deputy to White House chief of staff John Kelly, served as Kelly’s chief of staff during his time at DHS. She cited those experiences as proof of management experience in her questionnaire. Nielsen said she oversaw the department’s 240,000-person workforce as DHS chief of staff, directly managed 65 people and maintained budget authority for 585 personnel. She said she oversees roughly 200 people in her current White House position. Prior to joining DHS this year, she had never directly managed more than 15 people, according to the questionnaire.

Found this gem accidentally on Breitbart, but then found a better source.

We wont need a DACA solution since we're getting legalized in December via the budget bill, according to some of you.

Thank you for the fudged response. Actually it isn't even a fudged response. YOU HAVE TO ACT ON it if the bill is signed by your boss, POTUS. So she didn't even need to answer that question unless she's ready to rebel against the POTUS.
