JOE BIDEN'S LYING LAWYER FOR OPEN BORDERS MAYORKAS ASSAULTS THE AMERICAN WORKER FOR 'CHEAP' LABOR BY SABOTAGING E-VERIFY!
Under Obama, the Labor Department refused to share information about investigations with DHS, nor would it allow joint investigations with DHS. That practice ended most employer investigations by DHS, meaning lawbreaking employers often went unpunished. In his memo, Mayorkas calls for a review of whether E-Verify—a federal tool that allows businesses to check if a prospective employee is an illegal alien—is "not manipulated to suppress unauthorized workers from, or to punish unauthorized workers for, reporting unlawful labor practices such as substandard wages, unsafe working conditions, and other forms of worker exploitation."
BIDEN PARTNERS WITH MEXICO TO ORCHESTRATE ANOTHER MASSIVE MEX INVASION OF DEM VOTING ILLEGALS.

"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."
"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."
"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it."

Biden Cracks Down on Legal Migrants
Illegal immigrants not subject to vaccine requirements for legal migrants
The Biden administration will allow individuals to travel from Mexico to the United States as long as they are vaccinated, a more restrictive protocol than how it handles illegal aliens.
On Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the relaxation of travel rules for those crossing the border from Canada and Mexico. But his message contains no language about illegal aliens or asylum seekers, meaning they are still free to cross into the country regardless of their vaccination status or whether they test positive for COVID-19.
"In alignment with the new international air travel system that will be implemented in November, we will begin allowing travelers from Mexico and Canada who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 to enter the United States for non-essential purposes, including to visit friends and family or for tourism, via land and ferry border crossings," Mayorkas said in a statement. "Cross-border travel creates significant economic activity in our border communities and benefits our broader economy. We are pleased to be taking steps to resume regular travel in a safe and sustainable manner."
The Biden administration lacks a comprehensive COVID-19 testing protocol for illegal aliens and asylum seekers taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection, per a September inspector general report. DHS began offering COVID-19 vaccines to migrants, but it has not made them mandatory.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas) welcomed the easing of border restrictions but called into question Biden's willingness to address illegal immigration.
"The president has done nothing to address the vaccination status for the hundreds of thousands of people illegally crossing our southern border," McCaul said. "The inaction to implement across-the-board standards to people entering our country is bewildering and irresponsible as we are seeing the largest border crisis in 21 years."
The rules for legal travel to the United States are more restrictive than the Biden administration’s proposal to force firms with more than 100 employees to require proof of vaccination or a weekly negative COVID-19 test to work in an office. Unlike restrictions in some cities—such as New York, which only requires a single shot to enter places such as restaurants or gyms—one dose of a vaccine will not allow foreigners entry into the country.
Border restrictions against Mexico have been in place since March 2020 following a directive from the Trump administration. Mayorkas's announcement did not say whether children, who cannot receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Mexico, fall under the new rules.
The lack of vaccine mandates for illegal aliens or asylum seekers is a regular point of criticism against the Biden administration. Republicans have questioned why the administration issues more restrictive mandates against U.S. citizens and legal residents than lawbreakers. Since entering office, President Joe Biden has weakened Title 42—a federal law that empowers the Centers for Disease Control to pause virtually all immigration during a pandemic—by crafting exemptions for unaccompanied minors and family units.

Mayorkas Declares War on Immigration Enforcement
Homeland Security will no longer conduct raids on workplaces that employ illegal aliens
The Department of Homeland Security will no longer conduct raids on workplaces that employ illegal aliens, the latest effort from the White House to curtail the agency's mission to enforce immigration law.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests at worksites could discourage illegal immigrants from reporting other unlawful employment practices in violation of a Biden administration directive. DHS will now privilege other investigations that "most effectively protect the American labor market," according to the memo released Tuesday.
"The deployment of mass worksite operations, sometimes resulting in the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of workers, was not focused on the most pernicious aspect of our country’s unauthorized employment challenge: exploitative employers," the memo says. "These highly visible operations misallocated enforcement resources while chilling, and even serving as a tool of retaliation for, worker cooperation in workplace standards investigations."
Worksite raids increased by nearly 400 percent in 2018 under former president Donald Trump, leading to the arrest and deportation of thousands of illegal aliens. During former president Barack Obama’s last year in office, ICE made just 106 worksite arrests.
Proponents of the practice say worksite raids encourage employers to fill open jobs with law-abiding U.S. citizens and visa holders and regularly lead to broader investigations for other serious crimes. In 2018, the owner of a Tennessee slaughterhouse pleaded guilty to tax evasion and wire fraud following a worksite raid. He was later sentenced to 18 months in prison.
The largest single worksite raid in DHS history took place in 2019 at a Mississippi food processing plant and resulted in the arrest of 680 illegal aliens. Four Americans were also charged with violating immigration law.
Former immigration officials say the Biden administration will only encourage companies to abuse workers. Corporations will be able to hire illegal immigrants at substandard wages with impunity, according to former ICE chief of staff Jon Feere.
"Lawbreaking employers have benefited from the Biden administration’s lack of worksite enforcement this year, and now Mayorkas is outright abolishing this important enforcement tool," Feere said. "Media in Central America reported on ICE worksite operations under the Trump administration and that undoubtedly had the effect of discouraging illegal immigration."
The Mayorkas memo effectively restores Obama-era policies, which critics say hamstrung the agency from policing employers. By delegating the Department of Labor to be the chief investigator when an illegal alien files a worksite complaint, as Mayorkas’s memo orders, DHS is sidelined.
Under Obama, the Labor Department refused to share information about investigations with DHS, nor would it allow joint investigations with DHS. That practice ended most employer investigations by DHS, meaning lawbreaking employers often went unpunished. In his memo, Mayorkas calls for a review of whether E-Verify—a federal tool that allows businesses to check if a prospective employee is an illegal alien—is "not manipulated to suppress unauthorized workers from, or to punish unauthorized workers for, reporting unlawful labor practices such as substandard wages, unsafe working conditions, and other forms of worker exploitation."

Schumer Blasts Biden for Haitian Deportations
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) is demanding that President Biden halt all deportations of Haitians who cross into Del Rio, Texas, from Mexico, just as the White House begins implementing its plan to address the ongoing crisis at the southern border.
"We cannot continue these hateful and xenophobic Trump policies that disregard our refugee laws," Schumer said at a Tuesday hearing on the Department of Homeland Security's policies. "We must allow asylum seekers to present their claims at our ports of entry and afforded due process. … Again, the policies that are being enacted now and the horrible treatment of these innocent people who come to the border must stop immediately."
The majority leader also called for the White House to end Title 42, which gives the Centers for Disease Control power to expel all migrants at the border during a pandemic. He said that sending Haitian migrants back to their home country "defies common sense."
Schumer's remarks come as the Biden administration faces a humanitarian crisis on the southern border as more than 10,000 migrants, mostly from Haiti, sit under a bridge in Del Rio. Homeland Security has committed to sending 400 Customs and Border Protection to the area to accelerate deportations and resettlements to other parts of the country.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said at a Monday press conference that Haitians without valid asylum claims will be immediately deported. He pushed back against the idea that the U.S. border is completely open.
"I want to make sure that it is known that this is not the way to come to the United States. That is false information," Mayorkas said. "Irregular migration poses a serious security risk to the migrants themselves. Trying to enter the United States illegally is not worth the tragedy, the money, or the effort."
July saw the most migrant encounters in more than two decades, and August saw a 317 percent increase compared with 2020. The record-breaking monthly numbers could translate to two million border crossings by the end of 2021.
While Schumer has called for the end of Title 42, Homeland Security officials who spoke with the Washington Free Beacon have called the policy a lifeline for the Biden administration as it struggles to get a hold on the border crisis. Although Biden carved out broad exemptions for migrant families and children, the ability to deport single men provides some relief for overwhelmed Border Patrol and Homeland Security agents.
A department inspector general's report released this month chastised the Biden administration's handling of the health risks associated with unfettered migration at the southern border. It noted that a lack of stringent COVID-19 testing puts the health of Americans who live in border towns at grave risk. The spread of disease among migrants in detention is compounded, according to the inspector general, by the Biden administration's "erosion of Title 42 authority."
IG Blasts Biden’s Handling of Border Crisis as Surge Overwhelms Del Rio
The Democratic mayor of a Texas border town is pleading with the Biden administration to do more to stop the flood of migrants at the southern border at the same time the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General found that the federal government's failure to test migrants for COVID-19 puts the health of Americans at great risk.
Bruno Lozano, who serves as mayor of Del Rio, Texas, put out a video on Twitter Friday morning warning about the "real time threats" of COVID-19 and "other communicable diseases."
"This is something that really needs to be brought to light," the mayor said. "We need quick action from the administration. We need quick attention to this. We need a response in real-time."
Those health threats were underscored in a government watchdog report on the Biden administration's handling of the migrant crisis. The IG report called out Customs and Border Protection's failure to "conduct COVID-19 testing for migrants who enter…custody" and noted that the White House has not required it to do so. That policy, the IG wrote, puts federal employers' "support staff, communities, and migrants at greater risk of contracting the virus."
Lozano says nearly 11,000 migrants currently sit under the Del Rio International Bridge, with thousands more crossing in every few hours. At the current rate, the number of migrants waiting for processing at the Del Rio International Bridge could soon surpass the entire population of the city, which sits at just under 36,000.
Texas governor Greg Abbott (R.) attacked the federal government's response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Del Rio, noting the lack of proper shelter, health care, and safety precautions for the thousands of migrants in the city.
"The Biden administration is in complete disarray and is handling the border crisis as badly as the evacuation from Afghanistan," Abbott said.
A COVID-19 outbreak among the migrants could prove disastrous for the town of Del Rio. The regional hospital in the area, Val Verde, only hosts seven ICU beds.
According to the IG, the Biden administration never "documented" a "formal policy" for COVID-19 testing of migrants. The sheer volume of migrants crossing the border makes "proper physical distancing in holding facilities" impossible. The crisis grew so dire in the Del Rio sector that the Department of Homeland Security deployed agents from its Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office from March until May.
Despite Lozano's appeals to the White House, DHS leadership told watchdogs the agency's chief medical officer will not finish its "active monitoring and impact analysis of mitigation efforts" against the spread of COVID-19 until Sept. 30, 2022.
"The Department will prioritize efforts related to the DHS Chief Medical Officer to enhance the level of coordinated oversight and resource support for the DHS public health and medical enterprise," the agency wrote in the report. "The estimated completion date is September 30, 2022."
More than 1.5 million migrants have crossed the southern border in 2021. The month of July saw the most migrants encounters at the southern border in 21 years. The 212,000 apprehensions eclipsed the previous record high set in June. August saw 208,887 encounters—a 317 percent increase from August 2020.
Local Democratic officials are beginning to push back against the White House. The city of Laredo, Texas, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on July 16, alleging that DHS's practice of releasing migrants into the town spread COVID-19 and contributed to overcrowding in hospitals.
"Unfortunately, the federal government has left this public health concern to be tackled by our local government with no consideration of the city's little to no resources nor regard for the deadly ramifications it could have on the country," the lawsuit says.
The IG report placed the spread of COVID-19 among migrants in part on the Biden administration's "erosion of Title 42 authority," a federal law that empowers the federal government to turn away migrants at the border out of concern they may spread disease. On Jan. 30, President Joe Biden fulfilled a campaign promise of exempting children from Title 42. He has since broadened that exemption to many migrant families and others facing purported humanitarian concerns in their home countries.
