The immigration crisis has worsened as a result of President Joe Biden's reckless open border policies and incompetence to do anything about it.
Under the Biden Administration, more than five million illegal migrants have crossed into the United States— outpacing the nation's annual birth rate.
Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) is blaming Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for releasing at least 85 percent of illegal aliens into the U.S. without vetting them due to the administration's Catch and Release program. Most of these immigrants will be given work permits— taking away vital work opportunities for American citizens.
"All told, DHS numbers indicate that well over three million inadmissible aliens have been released into our country on Secretary Mayorkas's watch. Factor in the 1.8 million known gotaways, and that's roughly the population of the state of South Carolina," Green said, suggesting that Mayorkas has allowed more illegal migrants into the nation from 2021 through 2023 than the number of babies born annually in the U.S.— which is fewer than four million.
"In Fiscal Year 2013, according to [the] DHS's own numbers, the Obama administration detained 82 percent of illegal aliens from the moment they were encountered until their case was decided, and another nine percent were held for at least some portion of that time," Green continued. "In Secretary Mayorkas' first year on the job, that 82 percent number dropped to just ten percent. Illegal aliens not detained at all jumped from nine percent in FY 2013 to 64 percent in FY 2021."
Green's comments come as billionaire Elon Musk issued a warning to New York City residents after students were forced to attend remote classes as their school was used to house illegal migrants.
In a tweet, Musk warned Americans that illegal aliens will soon come for American homes as schools, shelters, and hotel rooms become overwhelmed.
"This is what happens when you run out of hotel rooms. Soon, cities will run out of schools to vacate. Then they will come for your homes," Musk wrote.
The former Twitter CEO was responding to a LibsofTikTok account post featuring a video that showed illegal migrants exiting a yellow school bus to James Madison High School in Brooklyn.
Earlier this week, Mayorkas visited the U.S-Mexico border, calling on the Biden Administration to approve billions of dollars in supplemental funding to transport illegal aliens over the southern border.
He even went as far as claiming the DHS is enforcing the law despite millions of border crossers coming into the U.S. daily.
"Some have accused [the] DHS of not enforcing our nation’s laws. This could not be further from the truth,” Mayorkas said.
