Thread: Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen reportedly drafted a resignation letter

Trump lashed out at his Cabinet, and Nielsen in particular, when told that the number of people arrested for illegally crossing the Mexico border topped 50,000 for the second consecutive month. The blowup lasted more than 30 minutes, according to a person with knowledge of what transpired, as Trump’s face reddened and he raised his voice, saying Nielsen needed to “close down” the border. [Emphasis added]

“Why don’t you have solutions? How is this still happening?” he said, adding later, “We need to shut it down. We’re closed.” [Emphasis added]

Appoint a proven tough guy. Andy Puzder. He's got the style, the knowledge, the management experience, the logistics knowledge, the business knowledge to know all the schemes and scams, he's got it all. He adores you, he will be loyal to you, he is results-oriented, from an industry that functions on time and motion studies, he's extremely articulate, and he's a fighter. I don't know if he'd do it, but you're a long way down the line now so it will be much easier to get him through Senate now than before. You can not allow these illegal immigration illiterates like Kelly and Nielsen to remain in your administration, get these WEAK WEAK WEAK inarticulate people out of your administration.

Surely you jest! He wasn't a good candidate when Trump tried to hire him for Labor Secretary and he would be an even worse Secretary of DHS.

Andy Puzder is a big foreign labor and illegal immigrant amnesty supporter! Heck, he supposedly even voiced his support of the "gang of eight" amnesty bill.

You must be confusing this guy with someone else!

He's probably not interested. But he's a highly competent person, a fighter, with the right skills. What you're talking about we've already discussed ad nauseum. He was President of the National Restaurant Association at the time of the Gang of Eight bill and as such, his job was to take the position of the association members. That does not disqualify him from taking another job with a different mission. In business, you take the position of your employer, shareholders or association you represent. For example, if you're in the US military and your job is to defend our country, do you get to roll your personal views into whether or not you fight for our country or stay home? Maybe before you join, but once you're in, you go and do as your told even if you can't even find Vietnam on a map or didn't believe Colin Powell's lie about MWD in Iraq. You do it because it's your job.

You can have all the anti-illegal immigration people in the world working for DHS, but UNLESS they know how to stop it, it's all talk, no action, no results, no change. You need skill sets from business people who put their personal views aside and get the job done for the country. And personally, I think Puzder agrees with Trump on illegal immigration, what smart person wouldn't? It's a disaster, a mess, a failure, a cost burden, a nasty scourge that is bankrupting our nation. Andy understands that. That's why he's such a great Trump Supporter.

Andy Pudzer's amnesty and foreign labor positions makes him a non-starter for Secretary of DHS. To defend him by making excuses for his solid positions in support of amnesty and more foreign labor doesn't work.

To even mention Andy Pudzner in the same sentence as Department of Homeland Security is a joke. Trump would literally be ostracized by a vast majority of anti-illegal immigrant groups and individuals if he even attempted to sneak Pudzer's name in as a consideration for Secretary of DHS.

I disagree, but nothing new there.
