I like to complain when someone is told that they aren't doing things the proper way and they correct the situation. Because that means that I am right and they were doing it wrong on purpose, maliciously. ***
“It has taken President Trump far too long – over 500 days – to nominate someone to permanently run the Department of Homeland Security.
Because the President has mismanaged the Department so badly, there are many legal questions about whether Mr. Wolf can be nominated while he is ostensibly running the Department.

“The President had no intention of nominating anyone until GAO released its legal decision concluding that Chad Wolf was illegally appointed as Acting Secretary.
***He was not under the impression he was doing anything incorrectly. I still don't think he was, personally... ***
This nomination is a clear admission that the Administration is installed Mr. Wolf as Acting Secretary unlawfully.
***Yes. Complain when people try to correct things. How very Democrat of you.***
Since every policy decision Mr. Wolf made since November may be challenged because he lacked proper authority, this is also an attempt to limit the Administration’s exposure to legal challenges.
***Or it is a logical decision as I pointed out above.***
“In the over nine months that Mr. Wolf has been illegitimately serving as Acting Secretary, instead of focusing on the top threats to the nation and the ongoing pandemic that has killed over 175,000,
***ACT like YOU'VE been doing something, motherf...***
his number one focus has been to please the President and carry out his radical political agenda. I have seen no indication that he understands the Dept’s non-partisan national security mission or is willing to carry it out.
***Enforcing current laws isn't partisan, FYI***
It’s quite clear he is simply not up to the job and his nomination should not move forward.”
***We can beg to differ.***

On this Sunday, as we pray that God will continue to Bless America, I write to inform you of our next actions, which will be made with the great solemnity that this moment requires.
I want to call to your immediate attention the action to be taken tomorrow morning, when Majority Leader Hoyer will request Unanimous Consent to bring up the Raskin resolution.
Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras have all signed the Asylum Cooperation Agreement (ACA) and all three ACAs have entered into force.
This is a historic milestone for the Trump Administration, Central America, and the American people. During Fiscal Year 2019, more than 71% of migrants apprehended at the U.S. Southwest border came from El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras—
"While there likely will be a short delay in delivery of apportionment results, that isn’t because of problems with the completeness and accuracy of Census data.
It’s because of a delay imposed earlier in the year resulting from activist litigation.
Just this week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the challenge to President Trump’s directive that the Secretary of Commerce report an apportionment count that excludes non-legal residents in the United States, including illegal immigrants.
