US Homeland Security launches ‘climate change professionals program’

The Department of homeland security in the United States has announced the launch of a “climate change professionals program” following the increasing rate of historic illegal border crossings.

Officials say they expect illegal crossings at the southern border to hit 2 million in 2021 for the first time in history, but DHS officials announced a program to tackle the “growing focus on adapting to climate change and resilience.”

The Climate Change Professionals Program is expected to be instrumental in helping the Department adapt to our changing climate by providing hands-on experience and guidance to young professionals interested in climate adaptation and resilience.

Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas said that the program will develop the next generation of climate experts, improve climate literacy throughout the Department and help us execute our Climate Action Plan to remain mission-resilient while reducing our own impacts on the environment.

Although the U.S. authorities detained over 1.7 million migrants in the 2021 fiscal year that ended in September – and arrests hit their highest levels ever, some still believe that the administration should instead focus on the more immediate issue of illegal border crossings, which have hit an all-time high according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.

The total number for the calendar year 2021 is expected to break that record.

Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa was quoted as saying that the Biden Administration is living in an alternate reality. “We’ve seen multiple reports of sex criminals and known terrorists trying to cross the border and cartels are funnelling lethal drugs into our country in droves,” He said.
