Pelosi Statement on Nomination of Gen. John Kelly for Secretary of Homeland Security

"Some of the President-elect's most vicious proposals fall under the responsibility of the Secretary of Homeland Security: the special deportation force to tear apart families, the massive wall that Mexico will never pay for, and the chilling suggestion of a government registry of Muslims.

"We hope that General Kelly is willing to stand up for facts, families and the Constitution.  America will not be made great by dragging parents away from their children, by squandering billions of dollars on a wall that does little to secure the border, or by rejecting freedom of religion and echoing the darkest chapters of persecution."
