Mayorkas’ Thin Skin and Illegal Alien Crime

Throughout a March 17 Home Homeland Safety Committee listening to, Secretary of Homeland Safety Alejandro Mayorkas was requested by Consultant Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) in regards to the perpetrators and victims of unlawful alien crime, and when he’ll take motion. Somewhat than acknowledging the issue, apologizing for the Biden administration’s disastrous dealing with of the border safety/humanitarian disaster on the southwestern border, or promising to do one thing to repair the issue, Mayorkas angrily reprimanded the freshman congresswoman for being “terribly disrespectful.”

Right here is Rep. Cammack’s query in full:

“I’m from a small city out West, and the month earlier than
I used to be presupposed to graduate highschool, which was 2006, certainly one of my classmates
was kidnapped by an unlawful [alien]who had been deported a number of occasions. And I
suppose when you have got insurance policies that incentivize of us to come back over illegally, and
we don’t have the correct mechanisms in place to guard our borders … that sort
of affect has resounding results. So, my query to you, her title was Amber
Scott — the younger woman who was kidnapped by this unlawful [alien]prison — how
many extra Ambers should be kidnapped throughout America earlier than you’ll take
motion?”

Somewhat than answering the query, Secretary Mayorkas
took offense:

“Congresswoman, I discover that query to be terribly
disrespectful. Disrespectful not solely to me, however disrespectful to the boys and
ladies of Homeland Safety and to all of the frontline personnel all through this
nation who dedicate themselves to the security and safety of the American
folks.”

The change ended with the freshman Florida
Republican responding that the “American folks” undoubtedly “really feel very
disrespected in regards to the border state of affairs we’re going through proper now.”

Politicians and authorities officers deflecting to keep away from answering robust questions is definitely nothing new. However Secretary Mayorkas’ thin-skinned reply is nonetheless fairly telling. It reveals the Biden-Harris administration’s refusal to take duty for a border disaster that’s totally the brand new administration’s making. Furthermore, it exhibits how uncomfortable each the present administration – and the soft-on-illegal-migration crowd generally – is in regards to the topic of crimes dedicated by international nationals right here unlawfully.

Unlawful alien crime could also be a politically (very) inconvenient reality, however it’s a well-documented reality nonetheless. In actuality, unlawful aliens are a minimum of thrice as seemingly as Americans and authorized immigrants to be incarcerated. And it’s merely naïve to imagine that criminals should not among the many unlawful migrants making their approach to the USA proper now or those that have been recklessly launched into our nation’s inside by the Biden administration. And Rep. Cammack is definitely right to level out that People have a proper to really feel disrespected by an agenda that sacrifices their security to the false idol that’s the Biden administration’s open borders, soft-on-illegal-migration coverage.
