(Aug. 3, 2023) — “Our approach to managing the borders securely and humanely even within our fundamentally broken immigration system is working. Unlawful entries between ports of entry along the southwest border have consistently decreased by more than half compared to the peak before the end of Title 42.”
Thus proclaimed Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on July 26.
How did Mayorkas get unlawful entries to decrease by “more than half”?
Simply by rerouting the flow, by figuring out “legal” ways to funnel many migrants through ports of entry, so they aren’t counted as illegal alien “encounters.”
Are the borders, as Mayorkas says, being managed “securely and humanely”?
Millions of unvetted migrants have crossed our border and have been released into the country.
But that’s not a failure – it’s administration policy.
So the mission is being accomplished.
Mayorkas himself said, “In the Department of Homeland Security, I issued a memo very early on that we would not use the term ‘illegal alien’ when speaking of these individuals. We use the term non-citizen.”
The term “non-citizen” is not a synonym of “illegal alien.” Legal immigrants with “green cards” are not citizens, but they are not illegal either.
Why would a public official blur this important legal distinction?
Once again, it’s administration policy.
Mayorkas is a veteran of Obama’s DHS, having served as Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (2009–2013) and DHS Deputy Secretary (2013–2016).
For a sample of his work back then, check out what he did with the EB-5 “Cash-for-Visas” Immigrant Investor Program.
Michelle Malkin wrote about that in a 2015 article entitled, “The Green-Card Racket for Beltway Cronies.” Some players in this scheme included Nevada Senator Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton’s brother Tony Rodham, and GOP insider Haley Barbour.
Also in 2015, then-Vice President Biden touted an “unrelenting stream of immigration” and the “Great Replacement” – wonderful things if you support them or dangerous conspiracy theories if you question them.
Mayorkas can be seen grinning next to Biden as he makes those remarks:
Getting back to the July 26 hearing, an exchange worth watching is Mayorkas being questioned by Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida’s 1st District.
Gaetz is well-informed on the current border situation, including the shell game of rerouting illegal aliens to bring encounter numbers down. And he knows about the processing centers set up in other countries to bring people here.

The question is this: Is Alejandro Mayoras morally bankrupt, and is he at the bottom of the barrel or just your average jackass in Biden’s administration?
