We are not saying don\u2019t come. We are saying don\u2019t come now. Because we will be able to deliver safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The White House to illegal immigrants: \u201cWe are not saying don\u2019t come, we\u2019re saying don\u2019t come now, because we will be able to deliver a safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/huYgag6cXM\">pic.twitter.com\/huYgag6cXM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomselliott\/status\/1366442160669786123?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cDo you believe that right now there is a crisis at the border?\u201d a reporter asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the answer is no,\u201d Mayorkas <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1366443651635757059\">claimed<\/a>. \u201cI think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing and we have our resources dedicated to to managing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the press conference, Mayorkas repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1366444434775244805\">refused<\/a> to state whether or not he supports Democrats in Congress using the reconciliation process, which would not require bipartisan support, to attempt to \u201clegalize millions of undocumented immigrants this year,\u201d as one reporter put it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to take this opportunity, at the same time to reiterate a message that we have communicated repeatedly throughout, which is a message to those individuals who are thinking of coming to our border,\u201d Mayorkas later added. \u201cThey need, they need to wait. It takes time to rebuild the system from scratch. If they come, if families come, if single adults come to the border, we are obligated to in the service of public health, including the health of the very people who are thinking of coming to impose the travel restrictions under the CDC\u2019s Title 42 authorities and return them to Mexico and we have done that. We need individuals to wait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration invoked using Title 42 on the border due to the coronavirus pandemic and it reportedly had a strong impact on curbing the flow of illegal immigration to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past couple of days, two U.S. lawmakers from Texas, both Democrats, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrats-sound-alarm-on-biden-immigration-plan-will-be-catastrophic-for-our-party-for-our-country\">warned<\/a> about the crisis at the border, saying it could decimate the party and damage the country.<\/p>\n<p>The most drastic warning was made by Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX), who told CNN on Monday that urgent action was needed to avoid \u201ccatastrophic\u201d results on the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, my concern at this in the recent weeks in my district, migrants who made it across the border, who even pass the line of MPPs [Migrant Protection Protocols], who were 5,000 folks that have been waiting for two years across the border, made it across the Rio Grande Valley were processed and released,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cIf that is the message that we send to Central America and around the world, I can assure you, it won\u2019t be long before we have tens of thousands of people showing up to our border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019ll be catastrophic for our party, for our country, for my region, for my district, in the middle of a pandemic, in an area where we\u2019ve lost over 3,000 people in my small congressional district,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo, I think we need to have a better plan in place. I think asylum seekers should be able to ask for asylum and be processed in their home country or a neighboring country. And we shouldn\u2019t have a policy in place that impulses people to make this 2,000 mile trek where cartels and human traffickers are enriching themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
