Biden’s DHS Secretary: Yeah, We Pretty Much Let Anyone In

There’s no such thing as failure in politics. Fail badly enough and you lose your job, but you also get to do a media tour in which you finally acknowledge the obvious problems while arguing that overall you were really doing a pretty good job.

In an interview at the POLITICO Security Summit, former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who became a lightning rod of Republican criticism for the Biden administration’s alleged mishandling of a historic wave of migration to the United States, placed most of the blame on a “broken immigration system” that set a “low bar” for admission to the country for those with “credible fear of persecution.”

No kidding.

That translates into, we pretty much let anyone in based on anything. Mayorkas is blaming some sort of “broken immigration system”, a constant Biden administration talking point, without ever acknowledging that the administration chose to implement it in the most broken way possible and in a way even more extreme than the Obama administration has done. None of that was involuntary.

The Biden administration chose to let anyone and everyone and their cousins in, chose to sue states for trying to block mass migration and secure their borders, chose to fly in huge numbers of invaders on top of the ones already coming in and did nothing to reverse the tide until after it was clear that it might cost Dems the election and by then the demographic damage had been done.

That’s an immigration system that was broken in the most destructive way possible deliberately for political ends.
