Former Acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan says President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are turning the United States “into a sanctuary country” for illegal aliens. This week, as Breitbart News reported , internal data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) showed that only 2,962 illegal aliens were deported in the month of April by ICE agents — the first time in recorded history the monthly deportation total has dropped under 3,000. Likewise, in March, just 3,716 illegal aliens were being deported by ICE agents. At the current pace, fewer than 55,000 illegal aliens are expected to be deported this fiscal year, the lowest annual number in recorded history. “Forget sanctuary cities — this administration is rapidly turning the U.S. into a sanctuary country,” Morgan, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said. The massive reduction of deportations has been driven by Biden’s … [Read more...] about Former CBP Chief: Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas ‘Turning U.S. into Sanctuary Country’ for Illegal Aliens

Immigrants — legal and illegal, but not the 285 native-born million Americans — are “the backbone” of the U.S. economy, says the pro-migration chief of President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security. DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the claim via Twitter April 28, when he tweeted about his purchase of lunch for his deputies at a New York restaurant run by Venezuelan immigrants : I picked up lunch for our team during my visit to New York City today. It’s just one example of the small immigrant-owned businesses that are the backbone of our communities — and of our country. “It’s the kind of stuff you expect from these guys — [they believe] immigrants are better than Americans,” responded Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies. He continued: That’s the bottom line of the left. It is the radical fringe view that is now taken a central place in the Democratic Party. This is not the way most Democrats used to be — and is arguably not … [Read more...] about DHS Secretary Alejandro Majorkas: Immigrants Are the ‘Backbone’ of US Economy

America is a “Nation of Immigrants,” and Americans should welcome waves of migrants regardless of the impact on their wages and jobs, according to Joe Biden’s nominee for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Nominee Alejandro Mayorkas is scheduled for a Senate confirmation hearing on January 19 , where GOP senators are expected to spotlight Mayorkas’s multiple ethical scandals. You can watch below: Those scandals include the sale of citizenship via the EB-5 “Golden Visa” program , his suppression of DHS anti-fraud rules , his push to win a pardon for a California drug dealer , and his role in the importation of child labor via the 2008 “Unaccompanied Alien Child” rules. Mayorkas is also compromised by a recent history of working for companies — such as Uber — that stand to benefit from his control of the DHS-managed and very lucrative visa worker programs . “Mayorkas has a history of corruption that is deeply concerning,” said a Hill source. “Given … [Read more...] about Watch: GOP Grill Mayorkas on DHS Nomination

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas declared that the situation with unaccompanied children at the United States’ border with Mexico was “under control.” Mayorkas acknowledged that the issue is still ongoing but said the Department of Homeland Security has been executing its plan to alleviate the crisis at the border. “About five weeks ago, I said publicly that this challenge is a serious one, but we have a plan. And we know how to manage a situation like this. This is what we do,” Mayorkas outlined. “We are executing on our plan, and it takes time. Now, it is a month later. On March 28, we had 5,767 unaccompanied children at the Border Patrol stations. On March 28, the average length of stay of an unaccompanied child in a Border Patrol station was about 133 hours.” “We have about 600 children in a Border Patrol station now, and the average length of stay is under 30 hours,” he added. “We’ve been executing our plan. We will … [Read more...] about Mayorkas: We Have the Situation with Unaccompanied Children ‘Under Control’

President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, declared on May 4 that his agency’s “highest priority” is to reunite foreign families with the children they left behind in the United States when they were deported during President Donald Trump’s term in office. Mayorkas’s claim to MSNBC on March 4 came after he announced that four deported families would be allowed into the United States to live with a child or teenager they left behind. “We need … [to] develop a process where we can systemically bring them into this country safely and begin the healing process,” he claimed, according to a transcript prepared and released by his Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The media-magnified spotlight by Biden and Mayorkas on the migrant families “is distracting attention from their own responsibility for screwing up the border,” responded Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies. It’s [Donald] Trump flagellation … [Read more...] about DHS Mayorkas Ignores Americans’ Border: ‘Our Highest Priority’ Is to Help Migrant Families
