Do you agree, yes or no?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongressman, if I understand your question correctly, when individuals are in the United States and they make a claim for asylum \u2014\u201d Mayorkas replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number would not go down, is the answer, right? Yes or no? That\u2019s what they said, and I think you\u2019ve just answered, it would not go down,\u201d Roy repeated. \u201cThe only plan that you offer, the plan you just offered, is to process aliens faster and encourage more to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that to be true. I know it\u2019s true, you know it\u2019s true, cartels know it\u2019s true, and people around the world know it\u2019s true, and that\u2019s why people are coming,\u201d Roy continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s false,\u201d Mayorkas objected, but Roy pushed back, saying that it wasn\u2019t false and adding, \u201cThe entirety of your plan says that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Secure Fence Act of 2006 says what?\u201d Roy asked <a href=\"https:\/\/georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov\/news\/releases\/2006\/10\/20061026-1.html\">then<\/a>. \u201cThat the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take all actions the secretary determines necessary to achieve and maintain operational control over the entire international land and maritime borders. Will you testify under oath, right now, do we have operational control, yes or no?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, we do,\u201d Mayorkas replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have operational control of the border?\u201d Roy repeated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, we do, and Congressman, we are working to \u2014\u201d Mayorkas tried again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen to what \u2014 operational control defined,\u201d Roy continued. \u201cIn this section, the term \u2018operational control\u2019 means the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and other contraband. Do you stand by your testimony that we have operational control in light of this definition?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas attempted a pivot to blame the problem on the previous administration, arguing that the DHS Secretary in 2020 would probably have also claimed to have operational control of the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe secretary would have at least had a basis for saying that we have some sort of control of the border,\u201d Roy shot back, clearly referencing former President Donald Trump\u2019s more stringent <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/biden-reinstating-trump-era-remain-in-mexico-immigration-policy-after-court-forces-admin-to-do-so\/\">immigration policies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to note that, according to Mayorkas\u2019 office, over 40 individuals on the terror watch list had been released into the United States and were unaccounted for.<\/p>\n<p>Roy concluded by showing a series of photos of Americans who had died as a result of fentanyl <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/more-fentanyl-seized-at-u-s-borders-than-heroin-for-first-time-in-u-s-history\/\">coming across the border<\/a> illegally, and he was still showing the photos when Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) interrupted to inform him that his time had expired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe time of the gentleman has expired, he no longer has time to slander the secretary,\u201d Nadler said before moving on.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
