Mayorkas blames Republicans for migrant surge, as evidence mounts that the problem is him
By Monica Showalter

Out in cloud-cuckoo Bidenland, where everything is the opposite of its claims, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was blaming Republicans for the ongoing border surge.

According to Legal Insurrection (hat tip: Sarah Hoyt at Instapundit):

Quote

    Mayorkas swiped at Republicans during a call with The Dallas Morning News. Their rhetoric is causing problems at the border, not the Biden administration:

    “I’ve got a lot of work to do, and I intend to continue to do it. That’s my response,” he said, during a meeting with The Dallas Morning News editorial board.

    He added that “the political cry that the border is open” — a common refrain from GOP critics — “is music to the smugglers’ ears, because they take that political rhetoric and they market it” to desperate migrants from Venezuela and other countries.

    The border is open. There is a reason why migrants have told Biden repeatedly to “honor” his promise about an open border. This is from a Honduran caravan in January 2021:

    “We recognize the importance of the incoming Government of the United States having shown a strong commitment to migrants and asylum seekers, which presents an opportunity for the governments of Mexico and Central America to develop policies and a migration management that respect and promote the human rights of the population in mobility,” the statement said. ” We will advocate that the Biden government honors its commitments.”

Wow. Just wow. The chutzpah is getting bolder from this bunch.

By Mayorkas' logic, if Republicans would just stop criticizing Joe Biden's open borders and his own performance as Homeland Security secretary, nobody would cross illegally into the U.S. and the border surge would then end.

It's gaslighting. Republican criticism has followed from Biden's day-one notice about opening the borders and halting deportations.

Maybe that's Mayorkas' pushback for the ongoing warnings from a likely incoming Republican-led Congress that his impeachment for dereliction of duty is on the agenda.

Mayorkas's claims come just as the real story about the pathetic-ness of the Bidenite "find-the-root" causes solution to the surge, (to be resolved by throwing U.S. aid at Central America), is getting out.

I just re-watched the Hunger Games movies. It's literally like this admin took notes on how to be more like President Snow.
The Republic is lost.

This House needs to begin impeachment proceedings on Mayorkas on January 4, 2023. And keep up the pressure until he resigns.
