Representative Matt Gaetz Grills Mayorkas on Illegal Immigration.
[/VIDEO]
For those that refuse to view the video, Representative Matt Gaetz asks Secretary of the Dept. of Homeland Security a simple set of two questions.
First the facts presented by Mr. Gaetz.
1. There are 1.2 million people who have crossed the borders illegally and gone before an Immigration Judge who determined that they have no legal standing to remain in the USA and thereby issued a “final order of removal.” (8 CFR Section 1241.1).
2. That these 1.2 million people are still in the USA, un-detained as of the hearing.
Mr. Gaetz then asked Mr. Mayorkas two questions:
But Mayorkas just deflects, deflects, deflects, until Matt Gaetz points out Mayorkas has the worst record of any DHS Secretary in history when it comes to Border Security.
It is clear to me that the current Administration has no plan to conduct a mass removal, and despite Mr. Gaetz repeated questions of how much money and how many agents/resources would be needed, Mr. Mayorkas simply can’t respond because his Dept. has no plans to remove any individuals who have made it into the system.
This is the problem. What is the solution?
Change of Administration with one that places American law and American citizens first, and enforces Immigration law prioritizing those who follow the proper procedures.
If those procedures are considered unsatisfactory, then have Congress modify the law.
But NOT simply flout the law due to some perceived political advantage.
