REPUBLICAN SENATOR JOSH HAWLEY has called for the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of displaying “intentional disregard” for immigration laws during his tenure at the head of the agency.
Hawley, who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to Mayorkas following the release of a recent Customs & Border Protection report confirming the arrival of two million illegal immigrants over the past year, more than four times higher than in 2020.
“This was the predictable result of your open border policies,” Hawley wrote. “Your intentional disregard for our country’s immigration laws makes you unfit to remain in office. You should resign.”
“One year ago… you testified under oath before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, in response to my questioning, that ‘We have a plan, we are executing on our plan, and we will continue to do so,’” he continued.
“You went so far as to say your plan ‘is in fact working.’ Now, we have already eclipsed last year’s records. So let me ask you again, exactly one year later, was this your plan? Do you consider 2 million illegal immigrants crossing our border to be a success?”
