Politics Being taken out of our Border Patrol and the Needed Resources Coming to DHS; The Re-building of Protection on America’s Borders!

LISTEN NOW! (Or Watch Full Program!)It is vital that any President of the United States see the borders of America as a priority. When Donald Trump was Candidate Trump, the borders of America were a priority. Now that he is our President, he has continued that same urgency and priority of protecting America’s borders. The Homeland Security Committee is walking step in step with the President’s priorities of strengthening our Southern border.

Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, Congressman Michael McCaul, and his Committee are taking proactive steps to take control back once again of our borders. Representative Candice Miller shared these encouraging words about our border, “we are now going to demonstrate to the American people that we hear them, that we know what our responsibilities are, they can hold us accountable, we intend to have operational control of our borders, we intend to secure our borders.” But, the encouragement doesn’t stop there. Congressman McCaul understands that politics has hindered the process from becoming a reality. He highlights the Secure Our Borders First Act that would provide the additional resources that our Border Patrol needs to do their job. “We are going to require independent border security experts who are going to verify the border is secure. This takes border security out of the hands of DHS and out of the hands of politicos.”

When President Trump began his Administration, one of the first actions he made was to address the Department of Homeland Security and express his support for their actions. The President commented on the reality that DHS has had to operate under for far too long. “The Department of Homeland Security has many, many different divisions, but one of the most important missions of DHS is its law enforcement mission. This is a law enforcement agency. But for too long, your offices and agents haven’t been allowed to properly do their jobs.” But, as he continued to point out, this is going to change. ”From here on out, I’m asking all of you to enforce the laws of the United States of America. They will be enforced, and enforced strongly.” He addressed the simple reality that the Rule of Law will be enforced in America without creating new laws. Some may assume that President Trump’s focus is only on the Northern side of the border. But, this is not true. “I want to emphasize that we will be working with our friends in Mexico to improve safety and economic opportunity on both sides of the border. I have deep admiration for the people of Mexico, and I greatly look forward to meeting again with the President of Mexico…We are going to save lives on both sides of the border.”

It is encouraging to know that President Trump is using as many resources as there are available to him to once again establish peace and safety within the borders of America.
