John F. Kelly, the new WH Chief of Staff appointed by Trump after he fired Priebus, is totally ourguy:
On December 7, 2016, then President-elect Donald Trump nominated Kelly to head the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a cabinet-level position.[21] People familiar with the transition said that Trump's team was drawn to Kelly because of his southwest border expertise.[22] On January 20, 2017, Kelly was confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security by the United States Senate with a vote of 88–11.[23] On that evening, he was sworn in by Vice President Mike Pence.[24]
In an April 2017 speech at George Washington University, Kelly said, "If lawmakers do not like the laws they've passed and we are charged to enforce, then they should have the courage and skill to change the laws. Otherwise they should shut up and support the men and women on the front lines."[25]
Kelly indicated days into the administration his interest in having the U.S.–Mexico border wall completed within two years.[26] On April 21, 2017, Kelly said the U.S.–Mexico border wall would begin construction "by the end of the summer."[27] Two days later, Kelly said he believed "a border wall is essential" as there were "tremendous threats" such as drugs and individuals coming into the US.[28] On May 2, Kelly stated his surprise in office holders "rejoicing in the fact that the wall will be slower to be built and, consequently, the southwest border under less control than it could be."[29]
This is huge, it looks like the wall and deportations are going to go way up in priority now.
