Republican attorneys general call for DHS chief Mayorkas to resign over border 'disaster'
fox news ^ | By Adam Shaw , Brooke Singman

There were approximately 1.7 million migrant encounters in FY 2021

FIRST ON FOX: 14 Republican attorneys general are calling for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to resign due to the ongoing crisis at the southern border – the latest sign of increasing GOP pressure on the DHS chief.

"It is the core function of [DHS] to ‘secure the nation from the many threats we face’ Yet, since taking office, you have purposely taken repeated actions impairing the safety and security of Americans," the attorneys general say in a letter, led by Florida AG Ashley Moody, to Mayorkas. "As you publicly boast about your abject refusal to enforce the laws enacted by Congress to keep us safe, our southwest border is a disaster and our nation is on the verge of a national security crisis."

The letter cites the increased amount of fentanyl seized coming in from Mexico in FY 2021 – which can be fatal even in small doses – at the border, claiming that authorities have seized enough to "kill every man, woman, and child in our country six times over—an increase of over 30 percent since before you took office."

The attorneys general, who have raised the issue of a large amount of fentanyl coming in across via the southern border before, point to the estimated tens of thousands of drug overdose deaths linked to fentanyl.

Why are we more concerned about Ukraine’s borders than our own?

This is so over the top that every single AG should be forced to sign it:

DHS Secretary Mayorkas preparing to open US borders and jobs to ‘stateless’ illegal immigrants

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2022/02/26/dhs-secretary-mayorkas-preparing-to-open-us-borders-and-jobs-to-stateless-illegal-immigrants-1206091/

Excerpt:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is plowing full-steam ahead with President Joe Biden’s pro-illegal immigrant agenda and is covertly getting ready to throw open the nation’s borders even further while handing American jobs to “stateless” migrants.

“U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS] invites you to participate in a [March 8] listening session … for stakeholders to provide individual feedback on immigration protection for stateless individuals living in the United States,” an email dated February 25 from the USCIS branch of the Department of Homeland Security stated.

“Statelessness presents significant humanitarian concerns that require a careful and thoughtful response specifically tailored to the distinct and diverse needs of stateless persons,” Mayorkas asserted in a December 15 statement. “DHS is committed to … enhance recognition of, and protections for, vulnerable populations, including stateless individuals within the United States.”

Resign? He should probably be marched out of his office, charged and swiftly prosecuted for treason.

Mayorkas needs to resign or recuse himself from all government business. He’s a freeloading, commie pig loser.

The highest priority of both parties for 30 years has been an open border and no enforcement.
They have been intentionally changing the demographics of the country against the will of the citizens.

And EVERY Bush League Republican is an accomplice.

Yes. Globalists want this ignored, and they are getting away with it
Look at the numbers of screeching postings about the Ukraineian globalony on this site. Some are certainly K Street Rino plants but many are from real dimwit dupes or ethnic group propaganda.

TPTB have decided to “cancel” US through replacement.

Foreign invasion by any other phrase would be as treasonous.

Yup. Replace We The People with Third World garbage fattened up on welfare benefits and told to vote for Democrats.

If the GOP doesn’t take back Congress for all intents and purposes America is over.

“If the GOP doesn’t take back Congress for all intents and purposes America is over.”

The same GOP that gave a general amnesty to illegals during the Reagan administration?

The same GOP that after the “one time” amnesty of the Reagan years adopted lax enforcement as government policy during the George H.W. Bush years?

The same GOP that built a “virtual” southern border wall during the George W. Bush administration instead of a physical barrier?

The same GOP that held both houses of Congress during the first two years of the Trump administration, and refused to fund the physical activity southern border wall, but did continue to fund Obamacare, PBS and Planned Parenthood?

The same GOP that if it regains the majority will elect Mitch McConnell to lead the Senate again and Paul Ryan’s understudy Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House?

The historical track record strongly suggests if the GOP regains control of Congress it will complain it can’t do anything without control of the White House.

We’re a long way from the 1980’s. Hopefully the veterans who are running for office and the moms who are running will have the stones the establishment GOP doesn’t.

You’ll get a good idea for how much fight is in the GOP with the upcoming Supreme Court justice nomination. Somehow I don’t expect the GOP to show the same level of unity in opposition to the Biden nominee as the Democrats showed with the Trump nominees.

Why don’t the AG’s of Texas and Arizona order the arrest of numerous federal bureaucrats polluting their states with illegal migrants? Surely there is some charge to be used as a basis for arrest.

Arrest and detain and then watch the whining begin .
