Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), last weekend defined a secure border on an NBC interview show this way, “… It is maximizing the resources we have available to us, to deliver the most effective results…”

At the risk of taking the DHS Secretary out of context, his answer is pure, 100% unadulterated, male bovine excrement (BS).
The Secretary’s answer is a perfect District of Columbia non-answer answer. It is the kind of nonsense word salad so often served up by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the administration. How is it the Secretary of DHS cannot come up with a definition of a secure border?
What’s wrong with defining a secure border as: Nobody comes in, and nobody goes out without being invited, noted, and approved. How about we enforce the law, do so equally and fairly and we stop the de facto nullification of our immigration law… by our own government.
In ten days, on May 11 th, we will stop using Title 42 the World War II-era public health order prohibiting entry into the United States if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes it could introduce communicable diseases into the country. CDC officials invoked Title 42 at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in March of 2020.
Title 42 allows U.S. Border Patrol agents and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers to immediately expel migrants from the U.S. without giving them a chance to request asylum. In most cases, agents can remove migrants within two hours.
Migrants sent back under Title 42 do not have an immigration enforcement removal on their record and are rarely processed. Instead, they are turned around and repatriated to their country of origin. Under Title 42 order more than 2 million people have been denied entry.
If you add the ending of Title 42 to the gangbanger exodus from crackdowns in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras the situation at our southern border begins to come into focus. There are two dangers: The gross number of people ready to surge across our border and the fact that many if not most are young male gang members fleeing their own government’s law enforcement.
In the hours and days after May 11, the time of expiration of Title 42, we could see over 100,000 people flood across the southern border. Some of our southern border towns have already declared a state of emergency to deal with the influx of people.
Our southern border is not secure. The proof is the mayors of the cities on the border feel they have to declare a state of emergency to handle the situation. Someone here is not telling you the truth. Maybe it’s time to get off the couch and decide who it is.
Judging by the shootings by an illegal alien in Cleveland, Texas over the weekend, your life may depend on it. Why can’t the leadership of the DHS just level with us about what it is doing with malice and forethought?
