President Donald Trump’s recent staffing picks have raised eyebrows and suggested that the immigration portfolio will largely exist within the White House. NBC News Correspondents Garrett Haake and Julia Ainsley discussed these developments on Meet the Press NOW.
The appointment of Chad Mizelle, a top White House lawyer, as the new chief of staff for the Department of Homeland Security, has sparked speculation about the administration’s approach to immigration policy. Mizelle is known for his hardline stance on immigration, which has raised concerns among critics who fear that the White House will continue to push for stricter immigration measures.
Additionally, the recent appointment of former White House aide Julie Kirchner as the new ombudsman for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has also raised concerns. Kirchner has a history of anti-immigrant rhetoric and has been linked to controversial immigration policies in the past.
These staffing picks suggest that the White House will play a significant role in shaping immigration policy moving forward. With Mizelle and Kirchner in key positions, it is likely that the administration will continue to prioritize border security and enforcement measures over more lenient immigration policies.
As the immigration debate continues to dominate the political landscape, these staffing decisions will be closely watched by lawmakers, advocates, and the public. It remains to be seen how these new appointments will impact the administration’s approach to immigration in the coming months.
