Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is spinning as fast as he can. But no matter how he tries to wave away the crisis at the border, his appearance on “Fox News Sunday” illustrated how this administration is deceiving the American public. Here are some of Mayorkas’ biggest whoppers:
Lie 1: “Approximately, I think it’s about ten thousand or so, twelve thousand. It could be even higher.”
Lie 2: “What we do is we follow the law as Congress has passed it.”
Lie 3: “We have enforcement guidelines in place that provide the individuals who are recent border crossers who do not show up for their hearings are enforcement priorities and will be removed.”
Lie 4: Border Patrol agents blocking migrants from crossing illegally, “painfully conjured up the worst elements of our nation’s ongoing battle against systemic racism.”
Lie 5: “We do not agree with the building of the wall. The law provides that individuals can make a claim for humanitarian relief. That is actually one of our proudest traditions”
Lie 6: “11 million people in this country without lawful presence is a compelling reason why there is unanimity about the fact that our immigration system is broken and legislative reform is needed.”
Lie 7: “I wouldn’t call it a flood.”
The pictures of a ragged tent city of 15,000 under a bridge in Texas would say otherwise, as would month after month of record numbers of border encounters. But this isn’t the end. Letting 12,000+ into the US en masse just guaranteed that caravan after caravan from Central and South America, not to mention Haiti and Cuba, are massing to come here. Biden and Mayorkas just sent a message to the world: Come on in. The flood has only started.

This guy needs to be IMPEACHED !!!
IMPEACH HIM !!!
He is a liar, and a criminal apparatchik of an illegitimate regime. He needs to be called out publicly, and often, and ultimately impeached, fired, or removed, as he has broken the law, innumerable times as of late. We do not need more idiots like this.
A goldie oldie and probably still cited in the present:
We have 11 million illegals in the United States. I think Bushie and company used to push that one...among others.
BORDERING on criminal????
“We do not agree with the building of the wall. The law provides that individuals can make a claim for humanitarian relief. That is actually one of our proudest traditions”
The law provides for making that claim through the port of entry, not some dirt road on the TX border. Anyone seen illegally crossing need to be immediately sent back. Trump’s remain in Mexico was a brilliant tactic.
How far would you get if you tried to jump across the English Channel? You'd have about as good a chance at succeeding in that as pubbies trying to impeach Biden.
And even a lot of Mexicans thought so, particularly those in border cities like Tijuana and Juarez who had to put up with the overflowing garbage cans.
I know this for a fact because I speak to our company's people down there on a regular basis.
