Biden’s DHS under attack for starting climate change program

At least forty House Republicans are criticising the Biden administration over a new climate change program that was created by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

A co-chairman of the House Border Security Caucus, Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, is said to be leading the group of republicans who sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursdays, January 28.

In the letter, the group lambasted the secretary for his “dereliction of duty” in not focusing on DHS’s “intended mission by securing the border and resuming interior enforcement.”

Part of the letter read, “Given that we had a record-breaking two million illegal crossings in 2021, we are deeply concerned that this initiative is a misuse of taxpayer dollars, a paltry attempt to distract the American people from your failure to secure the border, and a dangerous reorientation of the Department’s real job: protecting against threats to the Homeland”.

The DHS program being referred to by the group is the Climate Change Professionals Program, which the department announced earlier this month.
