Mayorkas can’t clarify border rush due to Title 42 ending.

Border Chief Can’t Explain Surge of Migrants

President Joe Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, has claimed ignorance when asked to explain the recent surge of migrants crossing the border. Despite having a budget of $175 billion and working with intelligence and police agencies, Mayorkas says it’s difficult to identify the cause. However, migrants like Venezuelan Daniel and Abel Oviedo have explained that they are simply seeking work and a better life for their families. Mayorkas’ pro-migration policies have killed at least 1,000 migrants and imposed vast civic and economic burdens on Americans and their local governments.

Mayorkas’ Broken System Excuse

Mayorkas frequently deflects questions about his pro-migration policies by claiming “fundamentally, we are working within a broken immigration system.” However, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) has swatted down this excuse, saying that it’s an easy way out to not doing what needs to be done at the border. Mayorkas’ demands imply equity between U.S. citizens and foreign citizens, and he has opened many loopholes for millions of economic migrants to cross into the United States.

Extraction Migration

The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy. The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.

Unpopular Among Swing Voters

Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.
