Under the leadership of recently impeached Alejandro Mayorkas, \u2063the\u2064 agency has consistently failed to provide timely and accurate\u2064 data on border \u2064encounters, often releasing\u2064 the information on Fridays or Saturdays to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pro-migration-activists-accelerate-hate-campaign-vs-immigration-reformers\/\" title=\"Pro-Migration Activists Accelerate 'Hate' Campaign Vs. Immigration Reformers\">minimize media coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed legislation, known as the Timely Reporting Act,\u2062 is spearheaded by Congresswoman Stephanie Bice (R-OK) and would require the DHS to release monthly border encounter numbers \u2064within seven days of the end of each month.\u200c Failure to meet this deadline would result in a 25% reduction in \u2062the salary of the\u2062 DHS Secretary the following month.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Restoring Transparency and Accountability<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;In an attempt to hide the monthly illegal crossings, they consistently \u2063withhold information until late on Fridays or even the weekends to attempt to hide the \u2063truth from Americans,&#8221; Bice explained. &#8220;Our border is out of control and\u200d the lack \u2064of accountability is fostering chaos. My legislation, the Timely Reporting Act, restores transparency and forces the Biden Administration\u2063 to report illegal migration data in a timely fashion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If they fail to do their \u2064job, they will\u2062 be held accountable and \u2064face cuts to their salaries,&#8221; Bice\u200b emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The potential impact of this legislation is significant, as \u2063Mayorkas, who currently earns a salary of $203,500\u200b per year, could see his annual income \u2062decrease by over $50,000 if he consistently misses the reporting\u200b deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas has\u200d faced criticism\u2063 for intentionally delaying the release of border encounter figures to downplay\u2063 the severity of the crisis. The delayed releases, strategically timed to coincide with holidays,\u200d have drawn accusations of duplicity\u2063 and further eroded trust in the DHS.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, \u200bthe Timely Reporting Act has already garnered support from 22 Republican co-sponsors, indicating \u200ca growing consensus \u200don the need for greater transparency within the agency.<\/p>\n<p>Congresswoman Bice&#8217;s efforts come at a time when the United States is grappling with an unprecedented immigration crisis. Since President Joe Biden took office, over 10 \u200bmillion individuals have crossed the\u2064 border, \u2063including an estimated 1.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-border-arrests-reach-highest-level-since-1986\/\" title=\"Report: Border arrests reach highest level since 1986\">7 million illegal immigrants<\/a> who managed to evade capture. This surge\u200c in immigration includes a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">record-breaking number<\/a> of Chinese nationals and a staggering 1,000% \u2062increase in illegal immigration from\u200d Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and the Dominican Republic, among other countries.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why \u2062is it important for the public to\u2064 have\u2064 access to transparent reporting of border encounter statistics<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Line would \u2063result in penalties for the agency, including a reduction in funding.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of transparency surrounding border encounter statistics has been a growing concern, \u200cas it hinders the public&#8217;s ability to fully understand the extent of the crisis at the border. The DHS plays a pivotal role in enforcing immigration laws and securing \u200cthe border, and it is crucial \u200cthat accurate and timely data is provided to assess the effectiveness of these efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Congresswoman Bice&#8217;s proposed legislation aims to address this issue by mandating the DHS to release monthly border encounter numbers within seven days of the end of \u200ceach month. This timeframe ensures that the data is provided in\u2064 a timely manner, allowing policymakers and the public to make well-informed decisions based on current information. It also prevents the \u200bagency from strategically releasing the data on Fridays or Saturdays, which often \u2062results in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dean-phillips-entertains-3rd-party-bid-for-president-on-one-condition\/\" title=\"Dean Phillips considers running for president as a third-party candidate, but with a single condition\">limited media coverage<\/a> and public awareness.<\/p>\n<p>The Timely Reporting Act emphasizes accountability for the DHS by implementing penalties for non-compliance. If the agency fails to meet \u2064the reporting deadline, it would face a reduction in funding. This approach holds the DHS responsible for providing accurate data\u200b in a timely manner and encourages transparency within the agency. By linking funding to\u200d data reporting, Congresswoman Bice&#8217;s legislation incentivizes the DHS to\u2063 prioritize the release of border encounter statistics.<\/p>\n<p>The need for\u200b accurate and transparent border encounter data \u2062cannot be overstated. The ongoing influx of migrants at the border has significant implications for national security, public health, and the administration of immigration laws. Without access to timely and \u2062accurate information, it becomes challenging to effectively respond\u2062 to\u200d and address these challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the public has the right to know the scope and impact of the border crisis. Transparent reporting of border encounter statistics enables \u200dthe public to hold the DHS accountable for its actions and policies. It allows for informed discussions on immigration reform and border security and ensures that\u2064 the government is acting in the best interest of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the Timely Reporting Act is a crucial \u200cstep towards holding \u200dthe \u2064Department of Homeland Security accountable for \u2064its border encounter\u200c statistics. By mandating\u200c the timely release of this information and implementing penalties for non-compliance,\u2064 Congresswoman Stephanie Bice seeks \u200bto improve transparency and ensure the public has access to accurate data.\u200d This legislation is vital\u2064 for assessing the effectiveness of immigration enforcement efforts and addressing the ongoing\u2063 challenges at the border. It\u200b is imperative that this bill receives bipartisan support and is passed into law to enhance accountability and transparency within the DHS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New legislation in Congress aims to enforce monthly border encounter statistics release by the Department of Homeland Security.
