Senator Marsha Blackburn Calls Out Mayorkas 

Department of Homeland Security(DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been called out by Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn over his failure to secure the southern border. 

From Marsha Blackburn’s statement: 

So many Tennesseans that I talk to are absolutely outraged with the benefits and the handouts that are given to illegal immigrants, especially at a time when so many people are really suffering due to this oppressive inflation that we are seeing take hold of our economy. We are finding ourselves in the midst of the worst border crisis ever…Under this administration, we are at an all-time high, you were setting records, and now you’re talking about giving these illegal immigrants a billion dollars in settlement money. A billion dollars is a lot of money. That’s a lot of taxpayer money…I want an answer to how many miles of border wall could you build with a billion dollars? Obviously you don’t know the answer to that. The answer is 50 miles of border wall… How many border agents could you hire with a billion dollars? I can tell you it’s over 15,000 border agents. How many immigration judges, another thing the border patrol has told us that they need at that southern border…7,213 immigration judges could be hired. These are all things the border patrol has said that they need.
