With a potential impeachment trial in the US Senate looming, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas sparred with Senators in a budget hearing over his alleged mishandling of border security.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La) pointed out that "a recent Rasmussen survey shows that 57% of likely voters and 68% of Hispanics believe President Biden is importing migrants to the US to create a permanent Democrat majority. Are they wrong?"
The Secretary scoffed, saying "the notion that we intend to allow illegal immigration is nothing short of preposterous. We are simply overwhelmed by the massive numbers of migrants seeking a better life in this country. They are escaping corrupt rulers, pervasive crime, and poverty in their home countries. We don't have the funding needed to stop them nor the will to thwart their dreams."
"What about the rape, human trafficking, prostitution, and child labor that many migrant women and children are suffering on the journey?" Kennedy asked. "I doubt these perils are part of their dreams of a better life."
"Senator, the migrants are well aware of the gauntlet they must run when the border is heavily guarded by criminal cartels," Mayorkas replied. "Their decision to assume these risks shows how awful their lives must have been in their home countries. It is the Republicans who resist migration that adds to the travails of these victims. If they would give us the funding we have requested we could afford to fly more than just a few hundred thousand over the lands controlled by the cartels to new homes in safe American cities."
Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont), considered one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection, asserted "the American people don't support the flood of migrants surging across our southern border. They know that we're in a situation that needs immediate repair, immediate fixing, immediate overhaul. The Administration's refusal to recognize this is endangering every Democrat's chance of being reelected."
"Senator, there is no need for any Democrat to fret," Mayorkas reassured. "The same election strategy and machinery that enabled President Biden and most other Democrats to coast to victory in 2020 and 2022--winning the presidency, a majority in the Senate and dramatically reducing the Republican majority in the House to a mere sliver--are still in place. The ballots we need will be found, the voter identification requirements have been neutralized, the mules necessary to harvest and cast the ballots are being recruited and trained. None of the polls account for these built-in advantages. The odds are that you will be defeated are extremely slim."

Mayorkas needs 20 years in a Federal Pen.
Well, in all fairness, Mayorkass is a Hispanic thug. I can’t see him not agreeing with the Pedo Joe’s “border policy” whether one exists or not.
