His declaration came on the heels of his announcement that four deported families would be granted \u201chumanitarian parole\u201d and allowed to enter the U.S. in order to live with their teenage children.<\/p>\n<p>And while the Biden administration has faced growing calls to tackle a recent surge in illegal border crossings, Mayorkas said bringing these deported illegal immigrants is his \u201ctop priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is our highest priority is to reunite these families,\u201d Mayorkas said. \u201cAs we so powerfully saw, these are young people in their formative years. These are sometimes children as young as three years old. We are addressing the needs and vulnerabilities not only of the children, but also of their mothers, their fathers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critics have argued the stated mission of DHS is to protect Americans from foreign and domestic threats, but Mayorkas is neglecting this in order to focus on those without a legal right to reside in the country.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/report-biden-relief-prioritizes-funds-for-non-white-business-owners\/\">Report: Biden Relief Prioritizes Funds For Non-White Business Owners<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
