Analysts believe the approval will speed up President Joe Biden's immigration reform.
Alejandro was the first Latino and the first immigrant to head the Department of Homeland Security. Vice President Kamala Harris administered the oath of office to Alejandro Mayorcas as head of the Department of Homeland Security at the White House on Tuesday.
Biden signed three executive orders with the aim of easing former President Donald Trump's tough immigration policy. Notable among these is the reunification of children separated from their parents at the Mexican border.
"I am not making any new laws," Biden said as he signed the executive order. I'm getting rid of bad policies. "
Most of these immigration reforms will be completed under the leadership of Mayorkas. The Senate's confirmation of the appointment of Mayorcas, the son of a Cuban refugee, is considered historic.
