In a recent hearing, the National Border Patrol Council president, Brandon Judd, expressed his satisfaction with the ongoing inquiries into Secretary Mayorkas' actions concerning illegal immigration along the southern border. Border Patrol agents nationwide eagerly await the answers that may finally shed light on the truth. Judd emphasized the importance of transparency in a democratic society, stating that the American public deserves to make informed decisions based on factual information.
The main focus of the hearings is to determine whether the current administration is effectively enforcing the laws regarding the removal of individuals in the country illegally. Judd claimed that the facts will reveal a significant discrepancy between the number of illegal entries into the country and the actual removals taking place. According to him, millions of people have entered the country unlawfully since President Biden took office, but only a fraction have been effectively removed. He contends that this failure to follow the law is a clear indication of dereliction of duty by Secretary Mayorkas.
Judd also highlighted Secretary Mayorkas' varying statements regarding the release of individuals crossing the border illegally. Initially, Mayorkas stated that around 70 percent were being set free within the country. However, this figure was later raised to 85 percent. These discrepancies suggest a potential influx of thousands of people with unrestricted access to the nation, which is highly concerning considering the impact of remote learning and the learning losses suffered by American children during the pandemic lockdowns.
The recent relocation of approximately 2,000 illegal immigrants to a New York City high school due to heavy rain further adds fuel to the fire. This decision resulted in the closure of the school for the day, disrupting the education of the students who would have otherwise attended in person. New York Congressman Elise Stefanik voiced her outrage, stating that it is unacceptable and detrimental to working families already grappling with the consequences of the border crisis.
A City Hall spokesperson defended the relocation, citing the prioritization of the health and safety of migrants in their care. However, critics argue that this incident exemplifies the administration's preference for illegal immigrants over American citizens, particularly children. The incident in New York, along with similar occurrences in Texas and Arizona, highlights the urgent need for effective border control measures to avoid future disruptions and prioritize the wellbeing of American citizens.
As the hearings progress, the American public eagerly awaits the answers that may determine the fate of Secretary Mayorkas and shed light on the current administration's approach to border security. The outcome of these inquiries will be crucial in determining the future of immigration policies and their impact on the lives of American citizens.
