The Senate confirms the nomination of the Minister of National Security

6 Biden cabinet members have been approved


　　Since Biden was sworn in, the Senate has been committed to the process of confirming nominees for its cabinet.

The latest development is that after Republicans repeatedly delayed and blocked the confirmation of the nomination of Secretary of Homeland Security, the Senate finally voted for Majorcas’s nomination on the 2nd local time.

　　According to reports, Majorcas was one of the first people nominated by Biden's cabinet to be strongly opposed by Senate Republicans.

The Senate finally approved the nomination by a vote of 56 to 43.

　　Allegedly, Republican Senator John Corning led Majorcas to conduct the second confirmation hearing on the Judiciary Committee, and Republican Senator Josh Holly obstructed the hearing of the Homeland Security Committee in Majorcas. The next step.

　　Holly's decision to obstruct the vote on Majorcas caused controversy. It not only angered the Democrats, but also angered the former ministers of the two parties, who believed that it is important to confirm the nomination quickly when the United States is facing several emergencies.

　　Majorcas, 61, was born in Havana, Cuba and immigrated to the United States in the 1960s.

He served as Director of the US Citizenship and Immigration Service and Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security during the Obama administration.

　　After taking office, Mayocas will also lead the Biden administration's immigrant family reunification working group to reunite 545 children separated from undocumented immigrant parents at the border due to Trump's policies.

　　In addition, earlier in the day, the Senate also voted to approve Buttigieg as Minister of Transportation.

　　So far, 6 of the 23 cabinet members nominated by Biden have been approved, including the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Finance, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of National Security.

On January 22, local time, part of the construction materials were abandoned at a border wall construction site in Sunland Park, New Mexico, USA.

On the 20th, US President Biden signed an executive order calling for the cessation of the construction of the US-Mexico border wall.

Biden signed three more administrative orders

Reversing Trump's tough immigration policy

　　In addition, US President Biden has signed a number of executive orders since he took office to promote the resolution of the urgent agenda facing the United States.

He signed three far-reaching executive orders on the 2nd local time, aimed at reversing Trump's tough practices on immigration issues.

He stated before signing that this is not a new law, but an abolition of bad policies.

　　One of the executive orders will establish a task force to reunite immigrant families separated under Trump's "zero tolerance" policy.

　　The establishment of such a task force is Biden’s promise during his presidential campaign.

The new administrative measures do not specify which immigrant families meet the conditions for reunification.

Senior government officials said that this task force would be responsible for "identifying all children separated from their parents or legal guardians at the U.S.-Mexico border due to Trump's zero tolerance policy."

　　The second executive order will evaluate some legal immigration programs, such as the Central American minor program that began under Obama.

The plan allowed certain children from the region to legally reunite with family members in the United States. Trump terminated this policy in 2017, affecting thousands of people.

　　The order will also review the Trump administration's "stay in Mexico" policy.

This policy has resulted in thousands of asylum seekers being forced to live in the harsh conditions of northern Mexico, waiting for their asylum cases to go to trial.

　　The third executive order will direct the State Department, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security to review the guidelines and policies implemented during Trump's administration to determine whether they are consistent with the Biden administration's vision of "integration and inclusion."

　　At the same time, the administrative order will also begin to review a policy called "public charge", which strictly limits the issuance of green cards to poor immigrants receiving benefits.

Although immigrant rights advocates call for these actions to be revoked immediately, the Biden administration is currently reassessing these policies.

　　A senior official said: "It will take time to completely reverse these (Trump immigration) actions, and the government needs to take comprehensive measures."
