Thomas Paine: American Philosopher, & Revolutionary
From 1776 through the formation of The Constitution I helped create America. Now I have returned to help save America. American Patriots must join together, speak out in free and open discussion to fight the “woke” anti-American mob, and further the cause of FREEDOM.
Stymie Them with Deflection
Less than 36 hours before the expiration of Title 42, set to expire at midnight on 11th May, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorcas [1], took to the podium to announce that the massive influx of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border is to be blamed on Congress, for failing to enact immigration reforms. In recent days there have been over 10,000 illegal crossings per day, and they are set to be released into the interior with no method of tracking their whereabouts.
Nevermind that the Biden administration held complete control of Congress for two years and did nothing to address the invasion of illegals. In fact, they advertised that the United States was willing to accept any and all comers in an veritable “come on down” invitation. Now that Republicans have regained control of the House of Representatives, it’s their fault.
Maybe someone should remind Sect. Mayorcas that we already have immigration laws that have been on the books for decades. Maybe the Biden administration should be enforcing existing laws, instead of deflecting blame onto newly elected Republicans.
There is a law titled Immigration and Nationality Act, enacted in 1952. It’s been amended many times over the past 70 years and now includes several statutes that fall under Title 8 U.S. Code, to name a few:
§ 1152 – Numerical Limitations on Individual Foreign States
§ 1154 – Procedure for Granting Immigrant Status
§ 1157 – Annual Admission of Refugees and Admission of Emergency Situation Refugees
§ 1158 – Asylum
§ 1181 – Admission of Immigrants into the United States
§ 1182 – Inadmissible Aliens
§ 1185 – Travel Control of Citizens and Aliens
§ 1222 – Detention of Aliens for Physical and Mental Examination
§ 1223 – Entry Through or from Foreign Territory and Adjacent Islands
These just touch on the subject and I’ve linked them for convenience should anyone care to review them. There are many others that may be of interest. Perhaps Sect. Mayorcas should be apprised of these laws he is supposed to be enforcing, rather than grandstanding for “news” cameras in a feeble attempt to convince the idiots that support the Democrat agenda that the whole situation is completely unavoidable. Our immigration system isn’t broken. This administration is just breaking its laws, every day.
