Mark Green Slams Homeland Security Secretary Over Border Crisis<\/h2>\n<h3>Record-Breaking Numbers of Illegal Border Crossings<\/h3>\n<p>During an interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; Rep. Mark Green (R-NC), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, criticized Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his recent claims that the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-recruiting-gop-senators-for-amnesty-deal\/\" title=\"Democrats Recruiting GOP Senators for Amnesty Deal\">illegal border crossings<\/a> has decreased. Green&#8217;s remarks come after the U.S. Border Patrol experienced the highest number of illegal border crossings in history last week, with approximately 83,000 people crossing the border.<\/p>\n<h3>Mayorkas&#8217; Failure to Address the Issue<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;What the secretary failed to say is that this week has seen more crossings than any time, any week in our history,&#8221; Green stated. &#8220;Yes, there was some anticipation, and so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-new-documentary-details-government-crackdown-on-canadian-christians-likens-to-communist-china\/\" title=\"WATCH: New Documentary Details Government Crackdown On Canadian Christians, Likens To Communist China\">people started coming<\/a> across at higher numbers, in fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-sweeps-in-texas-election-as-city-revolts-against-biden-backed-critical-race-theory-in-schools\/\" title=\"GOP Sweeps In Texas Election As City Revolts Against Biden-Backed Critical Race Theory In Schools\">record-breaking numbers<\/a>, at the first part of the week. But in the latter part of the week, a judge ruled that they can&#8217;t do their plan of just releasing without a court date, which Secretary Mayorkas has said on the news was a bad idea. But that court ruling said he can&#8217;t do that. The drug cartels have responded, and the numbers have fallen off for a couple of days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Need for Congressional Action<\/h3>\n<p>Green emphasized the need for Congress to address the issue of border security before attempting to overhaul the immigration system. He also stated that he plans to hold Mayorkas accountable for his actions, or lack thereof, and accused him of lying to Congress under oath.<\/p>\n<h3>A Five-Phase Accountability Plan<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;We have a five<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mark-green-hammers-dhs-secretary-mayorkas-over-claims-illegal-border-crossing-have-dropped\/\" title=\"Green questions Mayorkas on decreased illegal border crossings.\">-phase accountability plan<\/a>,&#8221; Green explained. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to look into his dereliction of duty, the laws he&#8217;s intentionally violated and not followed. His job is to execute the laws, not write them or make them up himself. And his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-you-need-to-know-about-trumps-latest-drug-pricing-moves\/\" title=\"What You Need To Know About Trump\u2019s Latest Drug Pricing Moves\">interim final rule<\/a> to just speed people into the country is an excellent example of them just making up the laws, which we are the ones, we write the laws in Congress. He executes the laws, right, as the executive branch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Human Cost of an Open Border<\/h3>\n<p>Green also highlighted the human cost of an open border, citing examples such as fentanyl mothers, Angel Moms, and a baby in Florida who died after encountering fentanyl. He emphasized that every American is at risk with an open border and that he would be negligent in his job not to investigate Mayorkas&#8217; performance.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the Interview<\/h3>\n<p>Watch the full interview below to learn more about Rep.
