ABC’s Raddatz Calls Out Mayorkas on Border — Hard to Call 6.5 Million Migrants a Success
Breitbart ^ | 06.09.2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/09/2024 11:12:56 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

ABC News’ “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz confronted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday over the Biden administration’s failure to secure the border.

Partial transcript as follows:

RADDATZ: But that’s been something you’ve been doing all along. You’ve been trying to do that with people. I want — I want to go back to an interview I did with you in March…

MAYORKAS: Yes.

RADDATZ: … of 2021, two months into your tenure as DHS secretary. You seemed totally confident then that you had that under control. Let’s listen to what you told me.

It’s actually twice that number and they know it. They also know it has been a total success because that was the intention from day one. It was not a “failure”. MSM is not about to admit the truth because that is so much worse.

They’re not ‘migrants’. I’m so tired of the left’s constant attempts to label things what they are not.

True. I’d estimate there’s around 50 million illegals in this country.

If she were remotely honest the number should be 13,000,000 on top the 30+million already here

Anything but that, is fraudulent and deploying smoke to hide something.

“Mayorkas’s Eighteen Million” have turned America into a third world septic tank.

What a sham. She is helping to clean up the mess. 6.5 million? BS. Triple that at least. Also Biden and Mayorkas basically gave amnesty by legalizing anyone who utters the word “asylum” and allows anyone to give their names on an app and let them fly right in. All legal. I would say there are easily 30 million New Democrat voters in Chomo Joe’s tenure.

“... hard to call 6.5 million migrants a success...”

Well Martha. It depends of what your goal, your plan was. If the Biden goal was bring in 6 million migrants as replacement population then it was a success. But if the plan w1as 10 million migrants, it was a failure, and no bonus for him this year.

Typically, for Marxist Democrats, it’s another poor plan BECAUSE reality dictates you must deduct from “6.5” million so called new “DIM” voters the following “classes” of people :

1. A significant percentage of the illegals are plagued with all sorts of sickness and will just die.
2. A significant percentage of illegals will get tired of their desperate situation in the US and go home when government benefits dry up.
3. A significant percentage of the illegals are babies and toddlers and at best couldn’t vote until 2040 + or -. Who knows IF there will even be a Democratic party by then?
4. A significant percentage are being deported even by the Biden Administration.
5. A significant percentage won’t vote no matter what (less than half of Americans vote).
6. Trump will get elected and will deport millions.
7. A significant percentage will end up in prison where, currently, prisoners can’t vote.

Now, in addition to the foregoing, the 6.5 million illegals have pissed off millions of Democrat Party stalwart constituents. So, the democrats will lose those votes immediately (e.g. that Hispanic and black voters).

The REAL shame is not that the illegals will vote Democrat. The real shame is that any way you look at it these 6.5 million poor folks and criminals and enemy agents will cost the American Taxpayer over the next 10 years at least 1 Trillion US hard earned tax dollars (my best guess on dollars) .

if she’d call them for what they are, illegal aliens instead of immigrants, it might carry more weight...

NEW: @FoxNews has obtained an internal Border Patrol memo sent to agents in San Diego sector after President Biden’s executive order took effect, instructing them to release single adults from all but six countries in the eastern hemisphere & classifying them as “hard” or “very hard” to remove.

Specifically, the memo instructs agents to process all single adults from 100+ countries in the eastern hemisphere as NTA/OR, which means “Notice to Appear/Release on Own Recognizance”, except for six countries which are deemed “mandatory referral” countries (Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan).

President Biden & DHS promised consequences & removal for those who cross illegally between ports of entry after the executive order took effect - but the overwhelming majority of illegal crossers in San Diego sector, including the Chinese, Middle Eastern, & African adults we’ve been showing, are still being released into the U.S. with future court dates, as our coverage has shown repeatedly with Border Patrol mass releases at a trolley station in San Diego.

In a background call with reporters, DHS officials acknowledged the difficulty of removing illegal immigrants from eastern hemisphere countries, as some governments won’t cooperate with U.S. repatriation flights/travel documents & won’t take their citizens back.

DHS officials said they are engaged with these countries and are trying to enhance cooperation.

Bottom line in the short term: Mass catch & release continues for illegal immigrants in San Diego sector, who continue pouring in from all around the globe.

H/T to @Anna_Giaritelli, who was the first reporter to scoop this memo.
