Mayorkas: ‘We Need More Migrants’
Townhall.com ^ | 4 February A.D. 2024 | Sarah Arnold

As the United States grapples with one of the worst border crises in history, President Joe Biden’s border czar is declaring the need for more illegal migrants in the country.

During an interview with the New York Times, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed that American business owners need more immigrants to help fill jobs.

Mayorkas pitched an outlandish idea that the U.S. needs a high-migration system so that labor needs can be filled. He advocated for the expansion of legal pathways, allowing illegal immigrants to work and live in the U.S.

Wouldn’t it be more orderly, and wouldn’t it be responsible governance to be able to deliver a lawful pathway to fill what we have, which is a labor need, and cut the exploitative smugglers out and give individuals a path to arrive lawfully, safely, in an orderly way, to perform labor that we need? They can send remittances home. They can return home when their work is done. Isn’t that an element of a workable immigration system?

However, Mayokas failed to acknowledge the inevitable that if his plan succeeded, illegal aliens would steal hundreds of thousands of jobs away from hard-working Americans.

There is no other Biden-appointed official who has done more harm to the nation’s sovereignty and has helped illegal criminal migrants wreak havoc on American soil while making billions off drug and human trafficking at our own border than Mayorkas has.

He has prevented the Department of Homeland Security from enforcing crucial immigration laws, resulting in declining removals from the U.S. His blatant disregard has left nearly six million illegal migrants wandering free throughout our country.

Illegal immigrants have impeded American schools, jobs, housing, and resources. With a click of a pen, President Joe Biden can make the border crisis disappear. But alas, he had four years to do so, and all he has done is give them a free ride into the U.S. with free money and benefits.

More than 400,000 known criminal immigrants are in the U.S. According to data, only ten percent were arrested in fiscal year 2022.

Let me translate that for Mayorkas. “We need more Democrats”

That’s it, right there.

30 million illegals here. Though some portion of those came illegally, worked and got cash and welfare, left and returned. Left and returned.
One foreman in Mexico said he had worked in 18 different cities in the US. NOT a farm labor, but in different industrial construction sites.

@elonmus:

Biden’s strategy is very simple:

1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.

2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.

That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective.

Since no particular foreign government is solely responsible for this existential threat to The United States of America and Its Constitution, then Sedition is the proper term, at least for now IMHO for actively pursuing goals to destroy our country, values, liberty, and people. Not enough prisons for the perps.

Maybe we need a term that means the above hatred and poisonous actions with an end to nation-suicide, on behalf of ALL other nations since they want the same thing. Omni-Treason?

If this guy, the kind Mayorkas is fully in favor of letting into the country isn't arrested and convicted for assaulting police, no way the scumbag Mayorkas will be arrested and convicted for participating in the rape of this country:

And of course, he gets a commendation from Biden!

Col Douglas Macgregor tells TRUTH about Texas Border Crisis! Send Troops To Texas border NOW!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrLuQc_g4LE

Comments below the video:

“I hope Trump will choose Col. Macgregor for Sec. of Defense or Sec. of State. We need sanity in our Administration, we need him We need him for both!.”

“Glad to hear the word “treason” & those that are guilty.”

“Hi Stephen, my father in law served 32 yrs army LT Col. WW2, Korean War, and Vietnam, everything being said here is spot on. This is by the book, how communism takes over a county, they destroy it first. America is in cataclysmic danger. 🙋‍♂️🇨🇱🇺🇲🙏”

"Mayorkas: ‘We Need More Migrants’"

...... Let me get this straight ...... Over the past 3-1/2 years upwards to 10 MILLION Migrants have entered the US. That number is almost DOUBLE the average population of a US State .... So this Tool actually says we need MORE Migrants????? What really bothers me is that these Socialist Communists are never taken to task by our illustious so called "Representatives" to explain their statements.

Illegal immigrants have impeded American schools, jobs, housing, and resources.

Called a medical specialist's office on Friday, February 2 to make an appointment. The earliest slot they had available for me was April 26th. I'm not making this up.

We've lived here for 37 years and have never seen anything like it.

It's the 800-pound elephant in the room nobody wants to talk about. They have overwhelmed and overloaded EVERY area of Florida's economy, including all medical services, like a swarm of greedy locusts, which is exactly what they are.

It seems all of them require immediate medical care, all at the same time. And they are able to either pay for it--or get it for free.

Forget about the vaunted "quality of life" in the proverbial Sunshine State.

It's completely gone.

Wages for labor must be through the roof in that case.

If we need more then have them come in the legal way. The immigration law is a good law and should be followed. No one who enters illegally should ever be granted a path to citizenship. Period.

Democrats WANT criminals... it's why they support the Cartels.
