GOP report claims DHS Secretary actively promotes mass illegal immigration.
Republicans Accuse DHS Secretary of Neglecting Border Security
Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee have released a scathing report accusing DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of intentional ”dereliction of duty” in securing the nation’s borders.
The GOP interim report claims that Mayorkas has actively encouraged and facilitated mass illegal immigration, neglecting his sworn oath to control and guard the borders. The investigation, initiated earlier under Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.), comes amid criticism of the administration’s handling of the border crisis.
The report states that Mayorkas is the “chief architect” of the illegal immigration crisis that began when President Joe Biden took office in 2021. It alleges that he either willfully sparked the current crisis through his extreme and irresponsible policies or that he is negligent in his duties.
Furthermore, the report highlights Mayorkas’s alleged disregard for court orders related to the reinstatement of Trump-era policies and requirements for the detention of illegal immigrants. Another contentious issue raised in the report is the cancellation of certain policies deemed effective, including the termination of border wall construction, Title 42, and the Migrant Protection Protocols. In contrast to the cancellation of certain policies, Mayorkas has been accused of implementing measures that appear to favor illegal immigrants. The restrictive guidance given to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is one such policy that has come under scrutiny. “Under the new guidance issued in February 2021, Mayorkas’s DHS made it clear that only select groups of illegal aliens were legitimate targets for arrest and removal,” the report states. This guidance reportedly coincided with a significant decrease in deportations and increased use of catch-and-release practices, sparking concerns about border security and immigration enforcement. The report also states that Mayorkas’s department set and achieved historically low targets for removing illegal aliens.
