Congressmen Frank Lucas– Senator Mullin has proven to be an effective legislator and communicator in the United States Senate. So while this appointment will surely be a loss for those of us in Congress, I can’t imagine a more hands on and management oriented ally of the President to serve as DHS Secretary. Tackling the issue of immigration is a priority of this Administration, and I’m confident Senator Mullin is the right man for the job.
