Biggest Failures of Mayorkas' Leadership of DHS\">record-breaking influx<\/a> of illegal immigrants into the United States, four more of President Joe Biden\u2019s <a

Democrats Voted Down Opioid Detection Funding\">top border officials<\/a> have quietly resigned in just the past two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>That brings the total to seven in recent months, along with speculation about the reasons for their departure.<\/p>\n<p>The latest came just this week from the deputy secretary of Homeland Security John Tien, who announced he was leaving only a year after his appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Tien, a highly decorated U.S. Army veteran who served as director of the National Security Council under the Obama and Bush administrations, said he was leaving to spend more time with his family in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Ira Mehlman, a senior spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), told The Epoch Times that Tien\u2019s explanation \u201cranks right up there with my dog eating my homework.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere comes a time when you have to look yourself in the mirror and say I just can\u2019t do this anymore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mehlman said he was referring to what he described as <strong>absolute chaos<\/strong> spreading through the United States under Biden\u2019s \u201copen border\u201d policy.<\/p>\n<p>On June 22, his organization, which tracks the impact of illegal immigration on the United States, released the results of a report showing that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exodus-of-bidens-border-officials-continues-as-4-more-quietly-resign\/\" title=\"4 more Biden border officials quietly resign as exodus continues.\">illegal immigrants cost taxpayers 3 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The group also reported that the population of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-bidens-immigration-policies-may-fuel-migrant-caravan-crisis-at-southern-border\/\" title=\"Analysis: Biden\u2019s immigration policies may fuel migrant caravan crisis at southern border\">illegal immigrants living<\/a> in the United States has reached 16.8 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s more than the population of 46 out of 50 states,\u201d Texas Congressman Troy Nehls posted on Twitter in response to the FAIR report.<\/p>\n<p>Mehlman said FAIR\u2019s advocacy office is hearing from more and more Americans who have complained they are losing housing and job opportunities to the mass of illegal border-crossers.<\/p>\n<p>Towns far from border states are also feeling the impact.<\/p>\n<p>This week in Unity, Maine\u2014a rural, nearly all-white college town with about 2,000 inhabitants and a median annual income of a little under $27,000\u2014the residents were upset to learn they were inheriting about 600 illegal immigrants from Portland, a self-appointed sanctuary city.<\/p>\n<p>There is also major unrest among frontline workers at the border.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the 9,300 border agents that responded to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) survey, one-quarter of them indicated plans to quit their jobs in the near future, according to its recently released results.<\/p>\n<p>Some have also accused the Biden administration of silencing whistleblowers on controversial issues such as reports of thousands of missing migrant children.<\/p>\n<p>The chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) recently said at a hearing that Homeland Security\u2019s Inspector General officials involved in an investigation into border activity have reported feeling intimidated over speaking up.<\/p>\n<p>Grothman entitled the June 6 hearing \u201cHelp Wanted: Law Enforcement Staffing Challenges at the Border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even more signs of unrest came on May 31, when 18 states filed a federal complaint against the Biden administration for its new \u201cCircumvention of Lawful Pathways\u201d policy, which is supported by a controversial phone app that Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody says allows \u201caliens to schedule their entry into the United States\u201d and bypass vetting and safety protocols.<\/p>\n<p>The same day the state complaint was filed, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz announced he was resigning.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, Tae Johnson\u2014Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting chief\u2014handed in his resignation.<\/p>\n<p>Then came DHS\u2019 Acting Deputy Commissioner Benjamine Huffman\u2019s announced retirement on June 9 after serving only years on the job.<\/p>\n<p>Their departure follows Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus\u2019s controversial departure in November.<\/p>\n<p>Magnus stepped down after reports that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas threatened to fire him if he did not. It has never been disclosed why Mayorkas wanted<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid a surge of illegal immigrants, four more top border officials under President Biden have resigned in the past two weeks, making it a total of seven departures in recent months.
