Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen reportedly drafted a resignation letter after President Donald Trump berated her in front of cabinet officials, but stopped short of submitting it, according to a New York Times report published on Thursday.

Trump reportedly railed against Nielsen on Wednesday, saying that she failed to adequately secure the US border, former officials with knowledge of the incident said to The Times.

Trump's anger was not only directed towards Nielsen, who he believed was the leading authority in stopping illegal immigration. He also went off on other cabinet officials who missed his expectations on stemming the flow of undocumented immigrants in the US, one source who attended the meeting said.


The president was also said to have been triggered after discussing Mexico, which he believed was not sufficiently curbing undocumented immigrants crossing into the border.


A lingering belief that Trump has reportedly held onto was that Nielsen was resisting his idea of separating children from their families when they cross the US-Mexico border illegally. For several weeks, Trump had advocated for the separation policy as a method to discourage border crossings, sources said to The Times.


During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump fervently pushed for immigration reform by outlining bold plans, including the construction of a massive wall stretching across the US-Mexico border.


"I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me — and I'll build them very inexpensively," Trump said in a campaign rally in 2015. "I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."


But Mexico refused to pay for the wall, and despite Trump's efforts to limit undocumented immigration, the rate of attempted border crossings may have risen — estimates show that in April, US Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 40,000 people in March, or a 200% increase from 2017.


Nielsen was nominated as Homeland Security secretary in December, after former secretary John Kelly was selected to become Trump's chief of staff.

Kirstjen Nielsen is for amnesty. No excuse in the borders not being secured or the large numbers of illegal aliens still entering every day, week, month.

Messages must be sent to stop this ongoing invasion. Children are pawns. Something has to change.

President Trump should ask her to resign if she cannot do her job without being swayed by deliberate actions of illegal aliens to garner sympathy through drama.

I knew it was Trump's idea. GO TRUMP GO!! Looks like he has to do everything himself, down to figuring out where to put them and what to do with them.

You start doing what he tells you to do, to the letter and verse.

Mr. President, tell them to haul all these kids to the nearest Consulate so authorities from their home countries can figure out what to do with them and pay for it. If they release them off Consulate into US, close all their Consulates and deport all diplomatic personnel.

Homeland Security chief considered resigning after Trump diatribe: report

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was reportedly close to resigning after President Trump berated her during a Cabinet meeting.


The New York Times reported that Trump lashed out at Nielsen at the meeting Wednesday, accusing her of failing to improve border security.


Nielsen has drafted a resignation letter but has not submitted it, the Times reported.


A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson denied the report.

"The @nytimes article alleging that the Secretary drafted a resignation letter yesterday and was close to resigning is false," tweeted Tyler Houlton. "The Secretary is hard at work today on the President's security-focused agenda and supporting the men and women of @DHSgov."


Trump reportedly complained to his Cabinet that they need to do more to address the border. He also questioned why Mexico had not done more to stop immigrants from crossing into the U.S. illegally.


The Times reportered that Nielsen told colleagues after the meeting that she did not believe she should continue in her role if the president did not think she was effective.

"The president is rightly frustrated that existing loopholes and the lack of Congressional action have prevented this administration from fully securing the border and protecting the American people," Nielsen said in a statement on Thursday. "I share his frustration."

"Border security is the most basic and necessary responsibility of a sovereign nation," she continued. "These are complex issues and I will continue to direct the department to do all we can to implement the president's security-focused agenda. It is my great honor to represent the men and women of DHS who work every day to enforce our laws and secure our nation."
The president has repeatedly called for stricter immigration laws and called for an end to illegal immigration. His signature campaign promise was that he would build a wall along the border.

Since taking office, he has called on Congress to enact stricter immigration laws, and his Justice Department has dedicated increased resources to prosecuting illegal border crossers.
Speaking at a business roundtable in Cleveland last weekend, Trump warned that "we may have to close up our country" to fully address immigration issues.

"You can't allow people to pour into our country like they're doing," Trump said. "If we don't have borders, you don't have a country."

As a group of Central American migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. approached the border in recent weeks, Trump directed Nielsen not to let the so-called caravan into the country.
In response, Nielsen issued a warning that any people who cross into the U.S. illegally will be prosecuted.

Dozens of members of the caravan have since been allowed to cross into the U.S. to plead their cases for legal asylum. The Department of Justice arrested 11 members who are accused of entering the country illegally.

Nielsen, who succeeded White House chief of staff John Kelly as DHS secretary, also carried out an order last month from Trump to deploy National Guard troops to the border to increase personnel. As a result of the directive, National Guard troops are able to support U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents.

The Department of Justice has also taken a harsher stance toward border crossing.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the department had enacted a "zero tolerance" policy for people who cross illegally, and warned that children who are apprehended may be separated from their family.

Report: DHS Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen ‘Was Close to Resigning’ After Trump Blasted Her for Not Securing Border



http://media.breitbart.com/media/201...es-640x480.jpg

According to the New York Times, Nielsen almost left the Trump administration following a series of complaints from Trump in front of the entire White House cabinet that she had not successfully secured the southern border.


The report states:

Kirstjen Nielsen, the homeland security secretary, told colleagues she was close to resigning after President Trump berated her on Wednesday in front of the entire cabinet for what he said was her failure to adequately secure the nation’s borders, according to several current and former officials familiar with the incident. [Emphasis added]

Ms. Nielsen, who is a protégée of John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff, has drafted a resignation letter but has not submitted it, according to two of the people. As the head of the Department of Homeland Security, Ms. Nielsen is in charge of the 20,000 border agents who work for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Mr. Trump’s anger toward Ms. Nielsen at the cabinet meeting was part of a lengthy tirade in which the president railed at his entire cabinet about what he said was their lack of progress toward sealing the country’s borders against illegal immigrants, according to one person who was present at the meeting. [Emphasis added]

Nielsen’s DHS has been swamped with rising illegal immigration levels at the southern border. In the month of April, nearly 40,000 illegal aliens were caught attempting to cross into the U.S.

At the same time, DHS failed to keep a caravan of Central Americans at bay, with hundreds storming the border and seeking asylum through the ports of entry.
Most recently, in congressional testimony, Nielsen 132 foreign nationals to use the ports of entry to enter the U.S. legally and seek asylum, despite DHS already being overwhelmed with border-crossers and asylum-seekers.

Nielsen formerly worked for President George W. Bush when thousands of illegal aliens were allowed to enter the U.S. after Hurricane Katrina to take coveted blue-collar jobs. Nielsen also previously authored a report promoting mass immigration as a win for big business.

SUBMIT THE LETTER!

GET HER OUT OF THERE.

WHO IS "COUNSELING" TRUMP ON THE 12-18 MONTHS EXTENSION OF TPS FROM ALL THOSE FOLKS HERE FROM AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE BEEN HERE 10-20-30 FREAKING YEARS!!!

"TEMPORARY" IS OVER. AND THEY SHOULD SET A QUOTA TO GET THEM OUT EVERY MONTH.

START BY GIVING 60 DAY NOTICE THAT ALL GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE WILL BE TERMINATED! NO MORE FREEBIES!

SHE SHOULD RECOMMEND SENDING BACK 10,000 A MONTH! THEY FLOOD OUR BORDER 25,000 A MONTH.

NOW GET HER...AND THEM OUT OF HERE!

We need Fire and Fury on the border. And while we need Congress to repeal asylum, refugee and UAC laws so they are all treated as illegal aliens which is what they are if they don't have papers before they get here, we also need FIRE AND FURY. No soft talk, no soft pedaling, no dallying, no worrying about their "hearings" or "rights" or wasting our time and money listening to sob stories, no back-logs in deportation orders or any of this other stupid nonsense.

WE NEED ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY. ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM!

Make an announcement, tell them we're coming for you, we will hunt you down and throw you out of the country. That's it. Plain and simple. Authorize all state and local law enforcement to enforce US immigration law.

Kirstjen Nielsen should resign immediately because she supports Amnesty for the very illegal aliens our Constitution and laws require her to stop or deport.

Trump is the idiot who hired her in the first place based off the recommendation of his globalist COS John Kelly. Screw resigning, have the guts to tell her YOU'RE FIRED just like you used to do on TV. Fire them all, every last globalist cabinet member and start hiring PRO MAGA people. Kris Kobach would be the best DHS SEC ever, he was made for this job. You Mr Trump passed on him twice. Heck even Sherriff Joe would be good, at least keep him from screwing over Kelli Ward in AZ. You Mr Trump have hired two globalists to do the job, you have failed. If the next one you vet has ever served under a Bush, Clinton or Obama, if the response is not a HARD PASS, you have failed as a president. Anyone who has ever served under Bush, Clinton or Obama should be automatically disqualified from serving in your administration if you truly believe in MAGA.

As far as Ms. Nielsen goes, she was hired because she is a decent looking blond woman, nothing more. Wouldn't surprise me if she slept her way to the top. She was clearly not qualified for this position. Anyone who supports amnesty for illegals should not be heading up DHS. Trump better get his head out of his arse quick if he wants to think about getting reelected. Begging illegals to obey the law? PATHETIC! You don't beg for anything, you make them obey the law you weak kneed bimbo.

Get Sherriff Joe, Sherriff Babeu of Arizona! Plenty of Sheriff's to get into DHS!

We also have PLENTY of veteran hard core military to clean up this mess!

Report: DHS Secretary Nielsen ‘Implored’ Not to Quit by John Kelly As Illegal Immigration Skyrockets


http://media.breitbart.com/media/201...en-640x480.png

President Trump allegedly laid into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen during a White House meeting, as border crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border continue to skyrocket, according to a new report.

In a cabinet meeting attended by advisers Stephen Miller, Kellyanne Conway, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Larry Kudlow, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump blasted Nielsen for failing to secure the southern border, the Washington Post reports:

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]

Indeed, border crossings have continued to soar under Nielsen’s direction at DHS. For example, as Breitbart Texas reported, border crossings in March approached Obama-era levels of illegal immigration at the border. Last month, border crossings continued to increase, with nearly 40,000 illegal aliens crossing the border.

The increase in border crossings, coupled with a caravan of Central Americans which stormed the southern border, has reportedly created tensions between Nielsen and Trump. As Breitbart News reported, Nielsen allegedly almost quit after being blamed for not securing the border, though DHS officials say the claim is untrue.

A separate report, however, by Fox News’s John Robert, reveals that Trump’s Chief of Staff John Kelly had to call Nielsen following the meeting to ask her not to quit.

✔@johnrobertsFox

SCOOP - @WhiteHouse COS John Kelly told me this afternoon that after yesterday's cabinet meeting where @realDonaldTrump berated @SecNielsen , Kelly called Nielsen to implore here not to quit over it.
2:49 PM - May 11, 2018

While Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have taken tough approaches to illegal immigration and the caravan, Nielsen in her most recent testimony before Congress begged asylum-seekers to use the ports of entry to enter the U.S. legally, a move that experts say was a “colossal mistake.”

“If you are fleeing and you have a need to come to the United States, please come to the ports of entry. You — you — you know, we will process your claim there,” Nielsen said. But if you come across the border illegally, you’ve — you’ve broken the law and we have to prosecute. It’s the only way to keep our border — to have a border.” [Emphasis added]

Nielsen formerly worked for President George W. Bush, when thousands of illegal aliens were allowed to enter the U.S. after Hurricane Katrina to take coveted blue-collar jobs. Nielsen also previously authored a report promoting mass immigration as a win for big business.

Trump dear, get rid of both Kelly and Nielsen. I know why you transferred Kelly to Chief of Staff, he was a mistake at DHS. But all it's done is lead to another one. Get a Fire and Fury person in that job. Nielsen is weak, weak in style, weak in personality, weak in actual knowledge, just WEAK, WEAK, WEAK all the way around. You need a Bull in a China Closet in that job. A fighter!! An articulate fighter. A clever smart Border Warrior, not a snowflake like Nielsen.

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.

QUIT QUIT QUIT QUIT...WE WANT DACA WITCH OUT OF OFFICE!

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.
