House Democrats criticized for biased border report before Mayorkas hearing.
House GOP Lawmakers Criticize Democrats’ “Cherry-Picked” Border Report
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green (R-TN) strongly criticized House Democrats for their “cherry-picked” border report, which was released just before a hearing with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“The facts make it clear that President Biden created the worst border crisis in American history, but Democrats and the White House are trying to make it seem the border is as secure as Fort Knox,” the statement read. “Today’s Democrat memorandum manipulates the facts contained in over 850 pages of testimony from Chief Patrol Agents stationed along the border to cover up the Biden border crisis.”
“In reality, Chief Patrol Agents have detailed to our committees the historically high levels of illegal border crossings, migrant deaths, rescues of migrants put in peril by cartel smuggling organizations, gotaways, and assaults against our heroic Border Patrol agents,” it added.
In response, Comer and Green released excerpts from several agents’ testimonies, providing a more alarming picture of the situation at the border.
House GOP: Open Border Policies Fuel National Security and Humanitarian Catastrophe
Comer and Green emphasized that no amount of Democratic spin can change the fact that President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas’ open border policies have ignited a national security and humanitarian catastrophe at the border.
They highlighted interviews with officers who expressed their shock at the dire conditions at the border and warned that current policies were increasing the likelihood of illegal immigration.
