Alejandro Mayorkas is unfit to be Secretary of Homeland Security. He has refused to enforce immigration law and has a history of corruption and scandal.

No Senator should vote in favor of confirmation.
Alejandro Mayorkas helped President Obama create "DACA" and "DAPA" (which has since been struck down as unconstitutional) to ignore immigration law & bypass Congress. If confirmed, Mayorkas will again push for executive amnesty programs--at the expense of American wages and jobs.
As head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Mayorkas helped procure green cards for special interests groups and rich Democratic donors, including Hillary Clinton's brother, Harry Reid's son, Terry McAuliffe, and a Huawei executive.
Mayorkas also intimidated whistleblowers. An Obama-appointed DHS Inspector General investigation found the number of whistleblower complaints about Mayorkas "unusual" and that whistleblowers were "unusually" afraid of retaliation. oig.dhs.gov/assets/Mga/OIG…
Mayorkas made USCIS staff brief Harry Reid weekly about his son's clients' green cards. To return the favor, Reid forced Mayorkas's confirmation as Deputy Secretary of DHS.

No Republican voted for him then, & Mayorkas has given no Republican reason to vote for him now.
His history of corruption isn't limited to his past at the Department of Homeland Security. As U.S. Attorney in California in 2001, Mayorkas participated in the Clinton pardon scandal.

Politico would later describe Mayorkas as a "Clinton scandal figure." politico.com/story/2008/11/…
President Biden promised to "build back better" and talks about restoring trust in government. A scandal-plagued, ethically-challenged politician like Mayorkas will do neither.

The Biden amnesty plan would hurt American workers, lead to more illegal border crossings, and be detrimental to the health and safety of Americans.

buildbackbetter.gov/press-releases…
The Biden amnesty plan goes further than previously reported: It gives immediate green cards for millions of illegal aliens, which will allow Democrats to grant them work permits, welfare benefits, and voting rights as quickly as possible.
The plan pretends to require an "8-year path to citizenship." In reality, the exceptions would swallow the rule whole. Mayorkas, DHS Secretary nominee, has forced immigration officers to ignore fraud & approve as many immigration applications as possible.

Joe Biden is wasting no time trying to enact his radical immigration agenda.

He’s unveiling his draft immigration bill this week, and it’s what you’d expect from the party of open borders: Total amnesty, no regard for the health or security of Americans, and zero enforcement.
Joe Biden’s bill would provide amnesty & citizenship for millions of illegal aliens, allowing them to jump ahead of law-abiding immigrants who followed the rules. There are already thousands more rushing toward our southern border to take advantage of Joe Biden’s amnesty plan.
The Biden plan is bad for American workers and bad for economic recovery. American unemployment is sharply increasing with over a million new unemployment claims in the first week of January. Bringing in more immigrant labor will only worsen the problem & further reduce wages.

As Bob Gates said, Joe Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”

Now he’s surrounding himself with panda huggers who will only reinforce his instincts to go soft on China.
John Kerry will jet off to Beijing in pursuit of a climate accord with the world’s biggest polluter, the Chinese Communist Party. If Xi Jinping plays along, he’ll demand concessions. And we know what that means: more shuttered factories in the U.S., more hot air from Beijing.
What else will Biden, Kerry, & Blinken give away to “smooth relations” with Beijing? Will they stop efforts to arrest Chinese spies on our campuses? Rescue China’s electronic surveillance company, Huawei? Weaken export controls? Delay arms sales to Taiwan?...

Too many Arkansans are struggling to pay their prescription drug costs. Since 2014, the cost of prescription drugs has risen by 33%—faster than any other medical service.

goodrx.com/blog/prescript…
One survey found that 20% of seniors have a hard time paying for prescription drugs, and for seniors with chronic conditions, the rate is even higher.

It’s expensive for a pharmaceutical company to bring a new drug to market, and our system needs to encourage research and development. This pandemic is a reminder of the need for innovation.

AG Barr delivered a thoughtful speech on the importance of political accountability in the criminal-justice system at @Hillsdale, which the media is now completely distorting.

Read it in full, free from the media’s usual hysteria:
justice.gov/opa/speech/rem…
The AG has been accused of “attacking” career prosecutors in this speech. He wasn’t. He was making the point that DOJ is a chain-of-command institution. It cannot function with thousands of politically unaccountable line prosecutors setting their own individual policies.
We’ve all seen what happens when overzealous, unaccountable prosecutors use their positions to hound and harass their enemies. Just ask General Flynn. It’s the job of every prosecutor to prevent such gross miscarriages of justice.

Disney is addicted to Chinese cash and will do just about anything to please the Communist Party. Disney even thanked the CCP thugs who are locking up people in concentration camps.

This is evil behavior from a once-great American company.

axios.com/disneys-mulan-…
Sadly, this isn’t the first time Disney has carried water for Chinese Communists. Disney’s CEO said speaking up for Hong Kongers being crushed by the CCP would be “a big mistake.” I’ll bet Beijing was pleased to hear that.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Disney also owns ESPN, which has toed the Party line on everything from Hong Kong protests to the CCP’s illegal land claims in the South China Sea and Tibet.

Somehow, I don’t think these are all coincidences.
