Former Obama admin. official Alejandro Mayorkas was tapped to lead the Department of Homeland Security by President-elect Joe Biden, signaling an intent to bring experienced leadership to the third-largest federal department after years of instability

The announcement was immediately met with praise from immigrant advocates and Democratic lawmakers, as well as former and current officials who have expressed concern over the politicization of the department from some of its top leaders.Over the last four years, the rotating acting leadership at DHS has disrupted some of President Donald Trump's actions, including a second attempt to curtail the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

" Mayorkas, who was born in Havana, Cuba, and was the highest-ranking Cuban American to serve in the Obama administration, played a part in the administration's efforts to normalize relations with Cuba. "As a Cuban American, it is a great honor to further President Obama's policy and build stronger relationships with the Cuban people," he said after visiting Cuba as DHS deputy secretary in 2015.

As a Latino, I'm concerned how this architect of the Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, will enforce immigration law and what policies will be put forth. I'm all for legal immigration.
