The House Homeland Security Committee’s hearing on the impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas started today at 10 AM ET.
Mayorkas and the entire Biden administration have failed concerning immigration and border security.
The Committee will call four witnesses:
Bowman is the Democrat witness.
“For almost a year the House Committee on Homeland Security has conducted a comprehensive investigation into the causes, costs and consequences of the unprecedented crisis at our southwest border,” said Chairman Mark Green. “Our evidence makes it clear, Secretary Mayorkas is the architect of the devastation that we have witnessed for nearly three years.”
How do they do it? Drummond explained:
Foreign operatives conduct a “straw” purchase of rural property just outside city limits. Sometimes they have a front man lease the real estate. Either way, they take steps to conceal their activities. It is common to see that they have pushed up a berm to prevent visibility from the roads. They often will post armed personnel to stand watch and imply threat.
I’m glad Knudsen testified. The northern border is a concern, too:
While the crisis at the southern border is often the focus of attention, the northern border is also a grave concern to me. The border between Montana and Canada is 545 miles long. Recent reports indicate the fentanyl super labs have been proliferating in that country, including in British Columbia, a province directly adjacent to Montana. In one November bust, authorities there seized approximately 55 pounds of fentanyl and 6.5 pounds of fentanyl diluted for distribution, along with 10 industrial-sized barrels worth of chemical precursors. In all, the seizure represents over 2.5 million street doses of the drug.This is particularly alarming because under Secretary Mayorkas, DHS has made it a common practice to redeploy Border Patrol personnel from states like Montana to the southern border. As this committee has revealed, thousands of Border Patrol agents and officers were relocated between October 2020 and April 2023, with a substantial increase in Federal Fiscal Year 2023.7 I have first-hand knowledge that this includes agents from Montana. Adding insult to injury, the redeployed personnel were not there to help secure the border, but to process and more quickly release illegal aliens into the interior of our country. The redeployments forced stations at the northern border cut back on patrols, and curtail participation in joint law enforcement operations, ultimately lessening their effectiveness to disrupt cross-border smuggling.
