If I have one regret 20 years later, it is that America is still without a 21st-century immigration policy.
This is not the fault of the department but lies with Congress and the many administrations that have come and gone — Republican and Democratic alike. DHS oversees America’s immigration system, yet it does so with one hand tied behind its back. Our nation remains unable to establish a modern and sustainable immigration policy because we have yet to find a way to deal with illegal immigration at the southern border.‘It could bring a tear to your eye’: Former Pa. Gov.
As I have stayed in close contact with my successors and many of the men and women I served with originally at DHS, what has never changed is the department’s total commitment to protecting our citizens. I can say confidently that the dedication of the public servants at DHS, with all of the pressures of a still-young agency, is unmatched in our federal government.
