In a major departure from his predecessor, new Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson is complaining that the border needs to be strengthened, the Washington Times reports.
Unlike predecessor Janet Napolitano, Johnson is urging Congress to help improve border security.
Napolitano took on the tone that the border was more secure than ever.
“When we met with him, he acknowledged right off the bat that he was well aware there was a problem on the southern border. There was not even a debate about that,” said Rosemary Jenks, government relations manager for NumbersUSA.
Johnson has been on the job for nearly six months and was alarmed by the condition at the border.
