In case you’re wondering, yes —Alejandro Mayorkas still has a job. And an important one at that. But it’s also one he is seemingly incapable of doing correctly. According to a recent report from The Daily Wire, Mayorkas is, once again, putting our national security at risk.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) revealed this week that “military aged” Chinese nationals with ties to the CCP and the PLA have been released into the U.S. by border failure Alejandro Mayorkas.
Green unloaded on Mayorkas during opening remarks at a recent committee hearing.
On February 2, 2021, Alejandro Mayorkas was sworn in as the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. He swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and faithfully discharge the duties of his office. Since then, the American people have suffered from a national security, humanitarian, and public safety disaster at the southwest border—a disaster that has turned every city into a border city and every state into a border state.
In just over two years under Secretary Mayorkas, more people have entered our country illegally than in the 12 years of the Obama and Trump administrations combined. This includes: More than 5.2 million apprehensions at the Southwest border;More than 6.1 million apprehensions factoring in America’s northern and maritime borders; and at least 1.5 million known gotaways—illegal aliens who slip across our border without being caught and are now at large in the United States. This should terrify every American.
…
An unknown number of national security threats are pouring across our border each and every day. Since October of last year, Border Patrol has reported nearly 10,000 arrests of Chinese nationals that have illegally crossed the Southwest border, and the number continues to increase every month. I’ve confirmed that some of the Chinese nationals coming in have ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). That’s all I can share at this point, but we’ll be holding a classified briefing in the near future on this for all Members. DHS has no way to verify the identities and backgrounds of these people. They are almost always quickly released into the interior of our country to do who knows what.
10,000 Chinese nationals with CCP and PLA connections were arrested this year alone.
“These individuals typically possess no legitimate claim to asylum and under prior administrations – both Democrat and Republican – most would have been quickly deported. The difference now? Mayorkas and his policies,” he said.
In addition to the national security concerns, taxpayers are footing the bill for Medicaid spending for illegal migrants —which has doubled in the last year to $7 billion dollars.
But Mr. Mayorkas still has a job.
