Mayorkas: ‘We Need More Migrants’

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.

Same up here in New York. I tried to set up an appointment last week to get my heart checked the earliest they had open was April 10th.
I’m at the point now where if I come across someone who supports Biden, I just lose it, I don’t care anymore. I have absolutely had it up to here with stupid people.

These same people were losing it over Trump when he was in office and doing a great job. Now they support this Biden who is destroying the country and we are suppose to sit back and take it? To HELL with that!

Begs the question.

If we need more immigrants why are all those people on waiting lists still waiting to enter legally?

6 His family left Cuba many years ago but Mayorkas’s anti-American actions make me wonder if he isn’t a DGI asset. DGI is the KGB trained Cuban secret police.

Why would you think that when it is much more likely that he owes his allegience to a much more damaging intelligence outfit - the CIA or FBI.

Mayorkas’ family fled Cuba when Alejandro was a baby. His father was a wealthy factory owner who settled in Beverley Hills, CA, where Alejandro grew up.

There are currently 100 million U.S. citizens of working age who are not working. Some are stay ar home spouses, some are in the official unemployment numbers, some are in prison, some are disabled. However there are tens of millions of able bodied Americans not considered to be unemployed and not in the work force because they are not looking for work. Thanks to generous welfare benefits.

Tighten up welfare requirements and suddenly millions of non working people on the dole will flock to the workplace. End the tax bias against social security recipients earning outside income and suddenly many retired seniors will seek jobs to supplement their retirement income.

How many illegal immigrants are actually in the productive labor market?
I thought we had unemployment, I thought most illegals lived on the dole.
So what jobs does he think immigration fills?

All illegals must be deported. This is not debatable. They are felons for just being here and they are very unwanted.

They are free to apply for legal entry just like anyone else.

IDK how he even has an opinion on immigration, legal or otherwise.

He is charged with ensuring Homeland Security. His ONLY interest in immigration is the potential threat(s) to the security of the US that individual immigrants (legal or otherwise) may present.

The numbers of immigrants, types of immigrants, countries of origin ,etc. , these are each and severally, issues about
which he should properly have no opinion.
