While facing questioning by Senator Ron Johnson, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refused to answer exactly how many illegal aliens Joe Biden has allowed into the U.S.
“I’ve asked you this in the past, what numbers are represented here? How many people has this administration let in by encountering, processing, dispersing or that come in as a known or an unknown ‘gotaway’? Approximately, I don’t need an exact number, so what do we got?” Johnson asked.
“Let me just say…” Mayorkas began to deflect, to which Johnson cut in “I need numbers. Don’t filibuster me. How many people has this administration let into the country?”
Mayorkas further refused to provide a number, and tried to pivot to talking points about a “broken immigration system” (which would only be further broken if he attempted to “fix” it), to which a fired up Johnson replied “I’ll give you the number, it’s about 6 million, about 1.7 million as known gotaways. Now, again, we don’t know who these people are. We just know that they’ve come to this country and that they’re residing somewhere. Where are all these people residing? Where did the 6 million people go?”
American border patrol officials had over 2 million encounters with illegals along the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time ever in the 2022 fiscal year, and there were nearly 2.5 million in the 2023 fiscal year - another record.
As of writing, the largest caravan of illegal aliens in over a year is marching to the U.S. border from Chiapas, the Mexican state that borders Guatemala.
In leaked audio from 2021, Mayorkas called the border crisis "unsustainable" - but he'll never admit that reality publicly.
