Jeh Johnson, homeland secretary says “Syria has become
a matter of homeland security”.in fact the Syrian crisis has soared into an
extreme bloody situation. Started as a protest and emerged into revolution and
now to a civil war opposing Bachard Al Assad’s government to the rebel groups.
As the rebel groups are extending “individuals from the west respectively U.S, Canada
and Europe are going to Syria to take part in the conflict. According to Jeh Johnson
this situation constitutes a major threat to domestic security as those
individuals will return back home with radical ideas. In fact, Johnson , is
worrying about the setbacks of such actions in a sense that these individuals
may be brainwashed before coming back home , and that in return they will constitute
a danger to national security by either bombing or carrying out other terrorist
actions. Johnson made his concerns along with six European countries based on
research made by his agency, FBI and the other six countries.
The second part of the article focuses on the
comprehensive approach to immigration. It seems to me that Johnson is
supporting the new immigration system that wants to register illegal immigrants
in a process of compliance to the law which will lead them to the Citizenship.
The process is seen by its advocates as a comprehensive approach to deal with
the issue of illegal immigrants (a number set at 11million).It is a good
initiative to get people to register and in compliance with the law because it
reduces crimes and increases tax revenues. Furthermore, it is an approach that
will promote human rights as it helps decrease exploitation.
