I think they will do it this year, likely in the first half of the year. I will be shocked if they don\u2019t go forward. I think it\u2019s extremely likely and I think it is important. We have never had a cabinet secretary so utterly refuse to do his job and in fact instruct his employees to actively defy federal law, to frustrate federal law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFederal immigration law requires that people here illegally be removed, be deported,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cInstead, what Mayorkas has done is directed Homeland Security to facilitate and expedite people breaking the law. He wants the turnstile to move more quickly. His entire objective is to have even more people come here illegally. It\u2019s not to stop them. It\u2019s not to deport them. It\u2019s not to secure the border. He wants to make it even more efficient that when you cross illegally, Joe Biden\u2019s travel agent will take you wherever you want to go and set you up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cruz claimed that Mayorkas is the first cabinet official of a U.S. Administration that has dedicated their efforts to fostering democracy. \u201centire time\u201d To \u201cabdicating his entire statutory responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven worse, if he simply abdicated and didn\u2019t do his job, that would be terrible. But he\u2019s doing even worse, he is directing everyone in his control to actively facilitate law breaking,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cAnd I believe the House will impeach him and then in the Senate, Chuck Schumer will do everything he can to sweep it under the rug and have nobody pay attention. But we need to focus the American people on the tragedy that is unfolding every day on the southern border, that the media ignores, and that the Democrats have caused.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
