Senator Marshall Votes Against Biden DHS Pick
(Washington, D.C., February 2, 2021) – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D., issued the following statement after voting against the nomination of Alejandro Mayorkas to be the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary.
“Alejandro Mayorkas is in favor of open borders, unlimited amnesty for illegal immigrants, is a China appeaser, and on top of all that his previous time in government is riddled with a number of ethically questionable moments,” said Senator Marshall. “Advocating for millions of illegal immigrants to enter this country illegally is unacceptable – especially at a time when our nation is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Background:
- In 2015, the Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General found that then-USCIS Director Mayorkas inappropriately intervened to help foreign investors in the EB-5 visa program. (Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General)
- Biden’s DHS Nominee Alejandro Mayorkas Promises to Help Pass an Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
- Top Homeland Official Alejandro Mayorkas Accused of Political Favoritism
