It’s Time to Ditch Mayorkas

It’s no shock that the Biden administration is dealing with harsh criticism over their dealing with of the border disaster as apprehensions proceed to rise. In April, there have been almost 179,000 apprehensions, a 21-year excessive, which brings apprehensions to a complete of 749,613 thus far on this fiscal 12 months.

On the epicenter of this mess
at our southern border is Alejandro Mayorkas. Regardless of his file as a staunch
opponent of immigration enforcement and a key contributor to the Deferred
Motion for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, President Biden nominated
Mayorkas to steer the Division of Homeland Safety (DHS). Mayorkas was
confirmed in early February.

As if it wasn’t clear sufficient when taking a look at his file through the Obama administration, since taking workplace, Mayorkas has confirmed that he’s an agent of unlawful aliens, not a servant of the American folks. Not solely have apprehensions elevated since Mayorkas grew to become DHS secretary, however he additionally has completed nothing to stem the stream of unlawful border crossers. As a substitute, he has exacerbated the disaster by supporting the tip of Title 42 for unaccompanied minors, instigating the present surge that’s overwhelming border brokers and border communities alike. Encounters of unaccompanied alien youngsters (UAC) on the southern border skyrocketed to just about 19,000 in March and fell barely to simply over 17,000 in April, bringing the entire to 65,825 UAC apprehended thus far this fiscal 12 months. That is a rise of greater than 38 p.c general from this level within the fiscal 12 months through the 2019 disaster.

Moreover, Mayorkas has handcuffed American immigration companies, stopping them from doing their jobs, rising restrictions on enforcement strategies and reducing morale amongst brokers. As soon as once more, his actions present that he’s not dwelling as much as the oath he took when he was sworn in to guard the homeland and the American folks as he continues to place insurance policies in place that incentivize unlawful immigration. All present insurance policies designed to crack down on asylum fraud have been rescinded, catch and launch is the brand new mantra of the division, and deportations are at an all-time low. To not point out the truth that the hundreds of migrants coming into the nation day by day are being launched into the inside of the nation within the midst of a public well being disaster with little to no COVID testing.

Mayorkas additionally blocked the implementation of a rule that will have prioritized H-1B admissions by wage, rising the price of hiring a guestworker. This rule would have elevated safety for American employees from pointless competitors with cheaper foreign-born labor. He additionally elevated the H-2B visa cap by 22,000, additional disadvantaging American employees in a time of excessive unemployment.

Moreover, Mayorkas refuses to acknowledge his function in creating the disaster, and even that there’s a disaster in any respect. Sarcastically, he claimed in a Senate listening to that it was former President Trump who created the disaster which he denies even exists.

FAIR president, Dan Stein, wrote within the Day by day Caller, “The nation has misplaced confidence in Mayorkas to do his job. The state of affairs is worsening, not enhancing, due to his lack of management within the secretary place…For these causes, Biden should take away Mayorkas from his function and nominate somebody for the place who understands and is ready to unravel the present challenges our nation faces on the southern border.” Though, it’s unlikely President Biden will do such a factor, particularly when he himself continues to incentivize unlawful immigration and eviscerate our immigration system.

To make issues worse, President Biden’s picks to go different immigration companies will possible observe swimsuit given their observe information. Tucson, Arizona police chief Chris Magnus, the U.S. Customs and Border Safety (CBP) nominee, has claimed that immigration enforcement makes the USA much less protected, and refused to work with CBP previously. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Providers (USCIS) nominee Ur Jaddou is a mass amnesty advocate and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) nominee Ed Gonzales, paradoxically, refused to cooperate with ICE – the company he has now been tapped to steer – because the sheriff of Harris County, Texas.

All three nominees, alongside
with Mayorkas, clearly exhibit the immigration agenda of the Biden
administration. And every has a observe file which reveals that they’re in direct
opposition to the missions of the companies they’ve been chosen to steer.

In a FAIR press launch, Stein added, “It’s clear that Mayorkas won’t safe the border or implement the overwhelming majority of our nation’s immigration legal guidelines. Thus, day by day that he stays secretary of DHS, he’s consciously violating his oath of workplace.” He continued, “President Biden should ignore the open-borders puppeteers he has been surrounded with and terminate Secretary Mayorkas instantly. Time is operating out.”
