Analysis: Republicans to Trump: Your immigration shake-up makes no sense
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen speaks with Border Patrol agents near a newly fortified border wall in California in October. By Amber Phillips Amber Phillips Reporter for The Fix covering Congress, statehouses Email Bio Follow April 9 at 11:25 AM President Trump says he wants to get tougher on illegal immigration. Republican lawmakers are worried that he did the opposite with his Department of Homeland Security shake-up.
It’s a strange strategy for Trump, who seems to be casting out allies. As secretary, Nielsen vigorously defended her department, even as it separated families at the border and fired tear gas at crowds. If Trump doesn’t think any of that is tough enough, what is? "Strikes me as just a frustration of not being able to solve a problem,” Sen. John Cornyn told Politico, adding, “I don’t know if there’s anybody who’s going to be able to do more.”
