DHS Secretary Mayorkas Endorses Senate Deal to Expand Immigration
JOHN BINDER31 Jan 2024128
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is seemingly endorsing a deal being negotiated that would expand overall immigration to the United States as illegal immigration hits record highs under President Joe Biden’s watch.
The deal, negotiated by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Krysten Sinema (I-AZ), would increase annual legal immigration levels, require DHS to funnel thousands of border crossers into the U.S. every few days, expedite work permits for those border crossers released into the U.S. interior, and provide taxpayer-funded lawyers to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs), among other things.
In written testimony to the House Homeland Security Committee regarding articles of impeachment filed against him, Mayorkas seemingly endorsed the Senate deal.
“We need a legislative solution and only Congress can provide it,” Mayorkas writes:
