Titled &#8220;DHS Secretary \u2063Alejandro Mayorkas Has \u2062Emboldened Cartels, Criminals, \u2064and America\u2019s Enemies,&#8221; this 62-page report claims that Mayorkas and President Joe Biden&#8217;s \u200cborder policies have allowed cartels to gain control of portions of\u200d the southwest border, making them more emboldened than \u200bever \u200cbefore.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It is, \u2063therefore, this\u2063 Committee\u2019s conclusion that Mayorkas and Biden\u2019s policies have emboldened and enriched\u200b the cartels, ceded control of \u200dAmerica\u2019s sovereign Southwest\u200c border to these organizations, and jeopardized the safety and security of individuals and communities across this country in \u2063the process,&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The committee arrived at this conclusion after \u2064consulting with border security and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregon-governor-encourages-people-to-call-police-on-neighbors-violating-covid-orders\/\" title=\"Oregon Governor Encourages People To Call Police On Neighbors Violating COVID Orders\">law enforcement professionals<\/a> who revealed the \u200bextent of the cartels&#8217; \u200ccontrol\u2064 over the southwest border. Despite their best \u2063efforts, these officials are only\u200b able\u2063 to\u2064 mitigate some of the consequences of the cartels&#8217; influence, as \u200dthey are overwhelmed \u2062by the influx of illegal\u2062 immigrants, human smuggling, and \u200bdrug\u2062 trafficking.<\/p>\n<h3>House Republicans Investigate Mayorkas Amid Border Crisis<\/h3>\n<p>House Republicans initiated the investigation into Mayorkas in June to determine \u200bwhether he\u2062 had neglected his duty during the country&#8217;s border crisis. The information\u200d uncovered during this investigation could potentially be used as evidence\u200d for an\u2063 impeachment inquiry \u2064against Mayorkas, \u200ba\u200c demand made by many\u2063 conservatives in\u2063 the House.<\/p>\n<p>The committee&#8217;s first report, released at the beginning\u200d of the investigation,\u200b outlined seven actions \u200ctaken by \u200cthe Department of \u200dHomeland \u2062Security that were\u200b deemed harmful \u2062to \u200bthe country. These actions included halting the construction of the border wall and rescinding \u200dformer President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Remain in Mexico&#8221; policy.<\/p>\n<p>The recently\u200b released second \u200creport is\u2064 part of a five-phase investigation. It highlights how these policies\u2064 have led to increased rates of human\u200d trafficking, the \u2063influx of illegal and \u200cdeadly \u2063drugs, and overwhelming disorder in border towns. The impact of these policies extends beyond \u200dborder communities and citizens, affecting immigrants as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The cartels\u2019 operations\u2064 at the border and in\u200b communities across the country have meant more crime, more families ripped apart \u200cby addiction, and more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mayorkas-has-emboldened-cartels-new-report-from-gop-led-homeland-security-panel-finds\/\" title=\"GOP-led Homeland Security panel report finds Mayorkas has empowered cartels.\">vulnerable people exploited<\/a> and abused. \u2063The massive increase in\u2064 the frequency of these \u2062tragedies finds its root in Mayorkas\u2019 willful opening of America\u2019s borders. Meanwhile, the cartels continue to smuggle an unknown number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-twitter-contributed-to-david-frenchs-destruction-of-his-own-character\/\" title=\"How Twitter Contributed To David French\u2019s Destruction Of His Own Character\">potential national security threats<\/a> across \u200cthe border, some of whom are simply released into the interior.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The report attributes these consequences to\u200b the administration&#8217;s policies, \u200dparticularly the &#8220;catch and release&#8221; approach, which\u200d allows \u2063cartels to take advantage of individuals crossing\u200d the border \u2064without fear of being sent back or held\u2062 in custody for long periods.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more \u200bfrom The Washington\u200d Examiner.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The facts are \u2064indeed clear \u2014 the cartels have been the \u2062greatest winners from Mayorkas and Biden\u2019s open-borders policies. In his testimony before \u2064the \u2064House Judiciary Committee on July 26, 2023,\u2064 Mayorkas brazenly claimed that \u2063his policies had &#8216;weakened&#8217; the \u200ccartels. That claim \u2063does \u2062not withstand even cursory scrutiny.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The committee will now\u2064 proceed to the next phase of its investigation, focusing on the various \u2064human costs\u2062 resulting from Mayorkas&#8217; radical agenda, which is influenced by \u200cthe cartels&#8217; control \u2062over the southwest border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House Homeland Security Committee&#8217;s second interim report accuses Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of empowering cartels and criminals.
