At a recent Senate hearing on threats to the homeland, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas once again avoided answering tough questions from concerned members of Congress.
Johnson tried to get Mayorkas to tell the committee how many people had been let in on his watch-not just aliens released and trusted to show up for deportation hearings, but aliens paroled under various made-up programs, as well as the estimated 1.7 million people who snuck in-the "Gotaways."
Mayorkas fell back on his favorite excuse: a worldwide "Unprecedented level of immigration" made the current chaos unavoidable.
In April 2022, Mayorkas released a six-pillar plan "Focused on ensuring that the [migration] process is safe, orderly, and humane." On May 10, he said that the administration's "Overall approach is to build lawful pathways for people to come to the United States and to impose tougher consequences on those who choose not to use those pathways."
On letting illegal aliens in, Mayorkas delivered-never before in U.S. history have so many aliens been let into the country on so flimsy a basis in such a short time.
What about the Mayorkas plan's commitment to enforce immigration laws? Deportations are at historic lows, and so far, nearly all the illegal aliens let in or who got in under Biden are still here.
Mayorkas has said, "We are a nation of immigrants. We are also a nation of laws." But when it comes to immigration, he has betrayed those laws.
