Alejandro Mayorkas is currently on vacation in South Casco, Maine while the border crisis continues to get worse and worse every day. He had security surrounding him at a picnic tonight. Yet, our border is being flooded with drugs and criminals.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Henry Rodgers (@henryrodgersdc) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/henryrodgersdc\/status\/1564410788278063104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 30, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rodgers\u2019 assessment of the border is accurate.<\/p>\n<p>Since October 2021, border authorities have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bidens-press-secretary-on-illegal-immigration-its-not-like-somebody-walks-over-actually-millions-do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apprehended<\/a> 66 illegal aliens on the terror watch list. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has had nearly 4.9 million encounters with illegal aliens \u2014 including an estimated 900,000 who snuck into the country undetected \u2014 since President Joe Biden took office.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Fox News reported that Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz testified under oath that Biden\u2019s policies are to blame for the increase in illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is suing DHS and the Biden administration over what she contends are immigration policies that flout federal law.<\/p>\n<p>During a July deposition, Ortiz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/border-patrol-chief-says-border-crisis-caused-bidens-no-consequences-policies-illegal-migrants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated<\/a> that he believes illegal immigrants increasingly come to the U.S. when there are \u201cno consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, if migrant populations believe that they\u2019re going \u2026 there are not going to be consequences, more of them will come to the border. Is that what you\u2019re saying?\u201d questioned the attorney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is an assumption that if migrant populations are told that there is a potential that they may be released, that, yes, you can see increases,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n<p>The attorney then asked,\u00a0 \u201cSo, it will increase at an exponential rate. Is that what is being suggested here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I do think it will increase, yeah,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n<p>It is unlikely that Mayorkas will see Ortiz\u2019s comments anytime soon\u2014 the man is allegedly on vacation after all.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Mayorkas can make a pit stop in Portland, Maine if he\u2019s visiting the Pine Tree State. He doesn\u2019t need to travel all the way to the southern border to see the ramifications of Biden\u2019s open border nightmare \u2014 he can just look at Maine\u2019s largest city.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Portland <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/maines-largest-city-in-dire-situation-due-to-unprecedented-volume-of-migrants-arriving-from-southern-border\">announced<\/a> it was in a \u201cdire situation\u201d due to the \u201cunprecedented\u201d number of individuals arriving from the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>It might be news to Portland that Mayorkas claimed in July that the border is \u201csecure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, the border is secure,\u201d Mayorkas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/mayorkas-claims-southern-border-secure-historic-migrant-crisis-rages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> over the summer. \u201cWe are working to make the border more secure. That has been a historic challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If this is what a secure border under Biden looks like, can you imagine what an open border would look like?<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a new report, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is more than 2,200 miles away from the United States\u2019 southern border, yet only 55 miles away from Mexico.
