America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

JOE BIDEN AND LA RAZA NANCY PELOSI DENY THERE IS A BORDER CRISIS AS TO THEM THERE SIMPLY IS NO BORDER AGAINST NARCOMEX
Republican Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL) shared a personal story Wednesday with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about the impact illegal immigration has had in her life. Instead of taking her question seriously, however, Mayorkas fired back over her “extraordinarily disrespectful” query, leading to a tense exchange.
During a conversation about the border crisis during a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing titled “The Way Forward on Homeland Security,” the Florida Republican said she wanted to “bring it home a little bit.”
"See, I’m from a small town out West and the month before I was supposed to graduate high school – which was 2006 – one of my classmates was kidnapped by an illegal who had been deported multiple times,” she said, going on to make the point that when there are policies in place that “incentivize” illegal immigration without “proper mechanisms in place to protect our borders,” there are “resounding effects.”
Therefore, she wondered, “how many more” situations like the one that happened to her classmate have to occur before the secretary will “take action”—a question the many Angel Families across the country would likely also want answered.
Mayorkas, however, found the question "extraordinarily disrespectful."
"Disrespectful not only to me, but disrespectful to the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security and to all the front-line personnel across this country who dedicate themselves to the safety and security of the American people," he added.
"I’m sorry that you feel that way," Cammack responded. "I’m sure the American people feel very disrespected about the border situation they’re facing right now."
.@DHSgov Sec. Mayorkas called one of my questions "extraordinarily disrespectful" when I mentioned a classmate's kidnapping at the hands of an illegal immigrant.
What I find disrespectful is the crisis at the border due to @POTUS' executive order.

Despite the crisis at the border, which FEMA has been deployed to help assist with, Mayorkas insisted during Wednesday’s hearing that the southern border is “secure.”
“[T]he border is secure and the border is not open,” he said. “We are expelling, under the CDC’s public health authority in light of the pandemic, single individuals who arrive at the border. We are expelling families, under that same public health authority, limited only by the capacity of Mexico to receive them.”
Mayorkas added that the U.S. is "not expelling children who arrive unaccompanied without a parent or legal guardian."
Texas Governor Blames Biden for Surge of Migrant Minors at Border, Seeks Access to Detainees
Texas Governor Greg Abbott in Dallas on Wednesday about the growing surge of migrants at the U.S. border with Mexico. The governor directly blamed President Joe Biden’s open borders policies for the humanitarian crisis.
Governor Abbott spoke at a hotel located across the street from the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas where FEMA is housing some 3,000 teenage boys ages 15 to 17. Breitbart Texas reported the teens would stay at the convention center for up to 90 days.
“These sites are a direct result of President Biden’s reckless open border policies that are causing a surge in crossings and cartel activity,” Abbott said. “The administration has yet to provide answers that Texans deserve.”
“U.S. Health and Human Services will open the center to take some of the strain off Border Patrol, which is not supposed to hold children for more than three days but has been forced to do so for much longer,” KXAN added. “At least 3,000 children had been in custody longer than that 72-hour limit.”
The Biden administration claims that it is sending adults and families back because of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coronavirus order but is allowing children — or mostly older teens — admission into the country.
The Austin NBC affiliate’s report continued:
According to Abbott, Biden’s administration needs to provide information on where these migrants have come from and a timeline of how long they’ll be in Texas/the U.S.
The governor said that so far this year, 11,000 minors have been apprehended crossing the border into Texas, which he claims is a 60% increase between January (which was under the Trump administration) and February.
“On Monday alone, the Border Patrol took in about 280 child migrants in the Rio Grande Valley sector. America needs to know how these children — some are young children — are coming across the border and who is it that is helping these children across the border,” the Texas governor explained.
Abbott added that he asked the Biden administration to allow Texas officials to interview minors being held at the facility. The governor also said he is expanding the Operation Lonestar program to combat human trafficking.
Abbott expressed concern that individuals entering the country could be ill, including those who may be infected with the coronavirus.
“Are they being tested for COVID?” Abbott asked. “And if so, how is the administration handling those who test positive?”
“Texas is willing to step up and help out,” the governor concluded. “But this is the Biden administration’s responsibility … the Biden administration has made it clear that if you are an unaccompanied child, you will be allowed to come into the United States.”
