Kristi Noem confirmed for Homeland Security

10

Kristi Noem was confirmed Saturday as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

The Senate voted 59-34 to confirm the former South Dakota governor, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Sen. Dan Sullivan both voting yes.

She succeeds Alejandro Mayorkas, who was in charge of President Joe Biden’s open-border policy that has brought millions of illegal immigrants, many of them violent criminals and suspected terrorists, into the country over the past four years.

Noem will be in charge of securing the borders, particularly the southern border, where the majority of illegal immigration occurs. But she’ll also need to focus on the border with Canada, which is increasingly becoming an entry point for bad actors.

Noem’s confirmation makes three out of three for President Donald Trump. On Friday, the vote for Pete Hegseth for Department of Defense came down to a tie, which was broken by a vote by Vice President JD Vance to complete Hegseth’s confirmation. Marco Rubio was the first confirmation; he is now secretary of State.

  2. As our culture declines into an Orwellian dystopia so does our language which is being perversely mutilated so words lose intended meaning entirely. Definitionally, the word “immigrant” actually means someone who legally migrates into one country from another. Accordingly, there is truly no such thing as an “illegal immigrant.”

    Webster’s proper examples of “immigrant” in sentences: 1) Millions of immigrants came to America from Europe in the 19th century. 2) The city has a large immigrant population.

    Examples of improper use of the term “immigrant” recently posted on the web: “The governor’s office has declined for weeks to provide specifics to the Herald/Times about his immigration plans, including how the governor wants to assist with the detention of undocumented immigrants.” —Ana Ceballos, Miami Herald, 16 Jan. 2025 “The Biden Administration’s recent actions include extending protection from deportation for hundreds of thousands of immigrants, and blocking oil and gas drilling across more than six hundred million acres of federal waters.”—Jeannie Suk Gersen, The New Yorker, 16 Jan. 2025

    As you can see, the fake news mutilates words to support their woke agenda. The proper terms to be used for those crossing our border illegally are: illegal aliens, foreign invaders, border violators, international trespassers, unlawful non-citizens, etc. Anyone using the term “illegal immigrant” is guilty of woke mutilation of our language.
