Ever since Alejandro Mayorkas took office as the head of DHS the situation at the southern border has become absolutely catastrophic…
In a recent letter from Sen. Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, they cited some shocking statistics, let’s go over them real quick:
- 2,150,639 illegal alien encounters by CBP on the southern border in fiscal year 2022, the
most ever in a single year. - 1,734,686 encounters in fiscal year 2021, the second-most ever in a single year.
- 241,166 encounters in May 2022 alone, the most ever encounters in a single month.
- 235,706 encounters in April 2022 alone, the second-most ever encounters in a single
month. - 279% increase in encounters with illegal aliens by CBP along the southern border from
fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2021. - 437% increase in encounters from the same point in fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2022
year-to-date. - 528% increase from June 2020 to June 2022.
- 930% increase—nearly tenfold—from May 2020 to May 2022.
- 12,861 pounds of fentanyl seized by CBP in fiscal year 2022, a 219% increase over the
same point in fiscal year 2020. - 2,287 pounds seized just last month, enough to kill over 500 million people.
- 5,133 pounds seized in just the last three months, more than was seized in all of fiscal
year 2020 and more than twice as much as in all of fiscal year 2019.
As I previously stated, these figures are absolutely stunning. Graham and Cruz then threatened impeachment of Mayorkas when the GOP regains control of Congress following the midterms…
Here’s what Ted Cruz, in particular, had to say:

Part of the letter was presented by The Epoch Times:
“Your failure to faithfully enforce this nation’s immigration laws and willful blindness to the very real humanitarian crisis at our southern border amounts to a gross dereliction of duty and a violation of your oath of office,” Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) stated in a letter to the secretary.
“This is gross dereliction of duty and, if not corrected swiftly, could provide grounds for impeachment.”
SO FAR – when asked about almost 1-MILLION gotaways under Biden's watch…

Newsmax continued with the letter:
“Despite the heroic efforts by the men and women of Border Patrol, who operate with very little support from Washington, D.C., you have failed to achieve any semblance of operational control of the southern border.
We have grave concerns about what this failure means for both national security and the health and safety of American citizens.
These failures cannot go unaddressed, and your actions cannot be unaccounted for. The American people deserve better.”
