mister mayorkas knows firsthand america can be a beacon ofhope to the world . and a promise to those who are facing persecution. of a place of safe haven. mister mayorkas is an experienced national security leader who can restore integrity and decency at the department of homeland security. i personally appreciated the skill and dedication mister mayorkas showed as the director of the united states is in ship and immigration services. he was in that post in 2012 that he implemented daca which has allowed more than 800,000 young people to contribute to america's future. i will account the entire history but my trek on this particular issue began 20 years ago when i introduced the dream act read thanks to my friend , former colleague and the leader of our country barack obama, by executive order he created daca and gave these young people their chance to provethemselves . as deputy chief, deputy secretary mister mayorkas oversaw a $60 million budget but a workforce of nearly 230,000 individuals. he excelled in that role. he received the departments distinguished

mayorkas. they said he is, quote, a man of integrity, experience, and compassion and a proven leader to right the ship. you would hardly believe that if you listened to some of the things said about him on the floor. in their endorsement of mr. mayorkas every head of department of homeland security went on to say the chaos at department of homeland security may have led to being unable to prepare for terrorist attack on the capitol. that's the reality. after four years of disorder and disarray at d.h.s., the security of america, including this very capitol building, suffered because of the lack of leadership under the previous administration. mr. mayorkas is the son of a holocaust survivor and an immigrant from cuba. mr. mayorkas knows first hand that america can be a beacon of hope to the world and the promise to those who are facing persecution of a place of safe haven. mr. mayorkas is an experienced national security leader who can restore integrity and decency at the department of homeland

and if are ally mayorkas is -- and ifali mayorkas is confirmed today, i am confident that many of our staff will have a chance to work with him and la witness for themselves the kind of leader he fuel is. alejandro mayorkas may soon have the opportunity to serve the department. we don't have to take my word for it. the late tom coburn, a dear friend of mine, led the fight against ali's confirmation in 2013 when he'd been nominated to be deputy secretary of homeland security. tom was then the ranking member of the homeland security committee. he is deceased. we lost a really good man a couple of years ago. tom's staff director at the time was a very capable gentleman named keith ashton. last week keith sent a letter to our committee. in it he wrote of a his strong support today, ali's nomination to serve as secretary of d.h.s. and mr. ashton wrote these words. i first came to know mayorkas when i was the republican staff director of this committee, the homeland security committee. at that time, i was working -- this is mr. ashton. i was working to block his nomination to serve as deput

mayorkas's qualifications are unassailable. he is a seven-year veteran of the d.h.s. and has already been confirmed by this chamber three -- three times. like most of president biden's cabinet nominees, his nomination is also history making. he will be the first latino and first immigrant to hold the top job at d.h.s. i look forward to confirming mr. and we have a second outstanding nominee to confirm today as well. pete buttigieg for secretary of transportation. mr. buttigieg, known to many simply as mayor pete, has demonstrated an impressive familiarity with our nation's entire transportation challenges. challenges which are pronounced in states like my own where projects like the gateway tunnel are a top national priority. i know that mr. buttigieg is committed to working with members from both sides to improve rail and transit, highways, and more, in rural communities, urban centers, and everywhere in between. i'm excited to call him secretary pete by the end of the day and get to work with him immediately on helping the m.t.a., the nation's largest transit networ

mayorkas arrived in the united states from cuba in 1960s as refugees from fidel castro's regime. he's been deputy secretary of the department of homeland security and headed its citizenship agency. we'll show you some of the debate over his confirmation that happened yesterday in the senate for that vote as we go forward this morning in this first hour of the washington journal. but the question we're asking simply is america or should it be a haven for people in need from around the world? rob out of marion, louisiana, on that question. >> caller: how are you doing today? >> what do you think about this question. you say yes why? >> because in the beginning of this country it was a haven for the pilgrims. the pilgrims came here, made a good life for theyself. and then black people were slaves we were brought over here without our will. and now we live in a country now like inside the soviet union. >> have we been that beacon you're talking about over the past four years? >> it's bip the history of this country since its beginning. it's been a haven for people of all races since

mayorkas does not deserve to be confirmed as the new secretary of the department of homeland security in part because he was, quote, giving green cards, special favors. he was giving away green cards as special favors. what more do we know about the senate minority leader's train of thinking here? >> well, i can't speak to the specifics of the green card incident but i can tell you mayorkas confirmation will be a squeaker or the most close confirmation vote of any of the byrne nominees so far because of this issue on immigration. it's not necessarily his own path on but he is an ava tar for the biden administration's immigration policies. we heard this from josh hawley when he first held up the speedy consideration of mayorkas' nomination, tom cotton. this is a way for republican senators to speak out on their views on immigration and set up the opposition to the biden administration's immigration policies. we've talked so much over the last couple weeks where the republican party goontsz, who the leadership is, what do believe, immigration is a safe fallback issue, a pre-trump era is

he was joined by vice president harris and incoming homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas.

and some of that is what secretary mayorkas, newly confirmed secretary mayorkas and the task force will have to assess. and it will be case by case. there are estimates of between 6 and 700 kids. but part of what we need to do in the early stages or i should say what the task force needs to do is determine what the accurate number is and where these kids are. and then determine case by case what the best process and approach is for reuniting them with their family members. so there is a great deal of work ahead. there is a team that is very committed to that work. and part of what i'm sure will be in the report around 120 days is what progress they've made on that effort. go ahead. >> does the president think cutting off aid to myanmar's government goes far enough? or are you all looking at additional steps and what might those be? >> well, i think the state department may have put a statement out if i am correct here on the assessment made in the legal review that is calling the events in burma a coup. so, and as you also know and we talked about a little bit here yesterday, but there
