An estimated five million people have crossed the border since the Biden administration took office and reversed many of former President Trump\u2019s border security measures, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/fair-analysis-4-9-million-illegal-aliens-have-crossed-our-borders-since-president-biden-took-office-301606980.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Magnus said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security John Tien on Thursday reiterated Mayorkas\u2019 demand, saying he would be fired within days if he did not quit. Magnus said he refused to leave the post of his own volition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI expressed to him that I felt there was no justification for me to resign when I still cared deeply about the work I was doing and felt that that work was focused on the things I was hired to do in the first place,\u201d Magnus told the Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to make this clear: I have no plans to resign as CBP Commissioner,\u201d Magnus declared in a written statement, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2022\/11\/11\/cbp-homeland-magnus-mayorkas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a>. \u201cI didn\u2019t take this job as a resume builder.

In the first 20 months after Biden was inaugurated, Border Patrol made 3,484,327 apprehensions of illegal immigrants, while 3,384,816 apprehensions were made in the eight fiscal years of \u00a0Obama\u2019s term, as The Washington Examiner\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/restoring-america\/fairness-justice\/broken-border-illegal-immigration-arrests-under-biden-exceed-obamas-eight-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Border Protection commissioner says he refused an order to resign from his beleaguered boss, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, amid an unprecedented wave of illegal immigrants pouring across the Mexican border.
