Mayorkas tells Border Patrol agents that ‘above 85%’ of illegal immigrants released into US: sources
Fox News ^ | January 8, 2024 | By Adam Shaw , Bill Melugin , Griff Jenkins

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday admitted to Border Patrol agents that the current rate of release for illegal immigrants apprehended at the southern border is "above 85%," sources told Fox News.

Mayorkas made the remarks when meeting privately with agents in Eagle Pass, Texas, according to three Border Patrol sources who were in the room and heard the remarks themselves.

The conversation happened during the muster for agents in the busy border area. Fox is told Mayorkas was asked directly about comments he made on "Special Report" last week when he was asked by anchor Bret Baier about reporting that over 70% of migrants are released into the U.S. each day.

"It would not surprise me at all. I know the data," Mayorkas said. "And I will tell you that when individuals are released, they are released into immigration enforcement proceedings. They are on alternatives to detention. And we have returned or removed a record number of individuals. We are enforcing the laws that Congress has passed. "

Fox is told that on Monday agents pushed him on those remarks, saying that the number is even higher than 70%, and then Mayorkas acknowledged a release rate of "above 85%."

Mayorkas had also said last week on "Special Report" that "well more than a million" migrants are released into the U.S. annually..

“Well more than a million” annually is right. More like 3 million annually since the stolen election.

That’s like adding a major metropolitan area the size of San Diego every year, populated entirely by worthless and dangerous third world castoffs.

Mexico is an enemy of the U.S. economically, socially, and militarily. It is a narco state. We should be totally at war with it. There should be a U.S. aircraft carrier off its coast. Instead of in the Red Sea. And U.S. troops on the border cauterizing and stemming the flow of illegals. Instead of in South Korea. This whole damned invasion of the sovereignty of the U.S. by illegal alien military-aged males flowing through Mexico has gone just too damned far. And I’m sick of liberals talking about what a great time they had on their vacation in bloody f’n Mexico.

I’d say it’s substantially north of 85%, and he’s damned proud of it. Meanwhile maybe one or two percent actually qualify for asylum under our laws, and that ratio has him tickled pink

Three years of the BS and nobody in DC. can get anything done to stop it.
We deserve to let China take over at this rate or purge every slacker democrat and Rino out of D.C..
