Mayorkas: COVID, Extreme Weather Are Part of Why Border Crossings Hit Record Last Year
Breitbart ^ | 05/12/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 05/13/2023 7:22:27 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas argued that the number of crossings at the border has spiked in the past year due to “poverty, violence, corruption, authoritarian regimes, the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather events,” and false information from smugglers.

Co-host Willie Geist asked, “You said a moment ago, Mr. Secretary, that we have a broken immigration system. And I don’t think many people would disagree with you about that. And yes, this is a decades-old problem, but the truth of the matter is, just this week, we’re seeing record numbers of illegal crossings at the border. In the last year, almost 2 million arrests, another record at the border. Why has the problem gotten so much worse just in this last year or two?”

Why do we always hear we have a “broken immigration system”?

Why is our system “broken” when we don’t always follow the immigration laws which are on the books but not enforced?

Why is the system “broken” if it can’t accomodate floods of illegal aliens? By definition, illegal aliens are not following our immigration laws. Why is the system “broken” because some people, drug cartels, etc. decide to overwhelm our country with illegal border crossers?

Surely,it wasn’t because of,the huge gaping hole on our borders and the fact that authorities turn their backs while illegals pour over the line, or worse yet, process them and give them all kinds of “freebies” like smart phones, to the tune of nearly $400,000 PER DAY cost to America just for the phones alone!

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Lie forcefully knowing the media and the appropriate establishment will support you.

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: “Pick the target and polarize it" via Rules for Radicals.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Scream accusations of racism* (or racist* attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Gaslight by declaring that good decisions will create a negative outcome or that destructive actions will produce a positive outcome.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: Project your guilt onto others.

The Left’s Core Strategy #6: Attack opposition with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Think drive-by shooter.

The Left’s Core Strategy #7: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.

Repeat

This is an example of a true statement that is throw out there to distract those of truly low IQ (AKA Democrats). Yeah, it had an impact, about 1%.

What, no one had the balls to ask for quantification?

Proposal: any gov’mt official who says “I dunno” more than 3 times is fired. Or, immediately arrested by Marshals and held until a psych test can prove they are competent enough to do more than breathe in and out.

No matter how good a reason they might have to come, we can not allow them to take over our employment opportunities.

If they require a safe place, we might set aside a federal reservation where they can make products now made in China in private factories owned by corporations needing to use low cost labor.

There was no need for the "Covid Law". We already have a law that says...no entry if your'e sick"....But NO ONE was even tested.

There's another law that says you need a sponsor.

Why do we always hear we have a “broken immigration system”?

We are living in a nation where lawlessness is supported and encouraged by our government. What we have is a broken, feckless government! Men and women who should be removed from office for not honoring the Constitution and/or placed in prison for breaking the law - are celebrated by our anti-American, anti-Christian media.

Unless we start putting people like Mayorkas and Biden(s) in prison for treason and/or breaking laws that are on the books - our republican form of government that promises equal justice will only be a mirage.

only reason the system is broken is they don’t enforce the law.

The rogue government has to collapse America. They can live large from their secret offshore accounts from “other” nations.
