The problem with any demand for information is there needs to be a threat as to what happens if the information is not provided. Penalties, punishments
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee, led by Reps. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) and James Comer (R-KY), have given President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas two weeks to disclose the number of illegal aliens the agency has released directly into American communities through its massive parole pipeline.
When Biden took office in late January 2021, he blew open the use of the nation’s parole authority that allows foreign nationals to enter the United States on a very limited, case-by-case basis.
House Oversight Republicans, in a letter dated June 23, have told Mayorkas he has until July 7, approximately two weeks, to disclose the total number of illegal aliens DHS has released into American communities under his watch. The Republicans write: (snip through that)
In particular, the Republicans ask Mayorkas to hand over “all documents and communications containing any numerical accounting” of illegal aliens given parole to enter the U.S. through Biden’s migrant mobile app, as well as those who crossed in between Ports of Entry.
So, they want all types of documents, but, can you guess what’s missing from the full letter? There’s not even a threat as to what happens if DHS refuses to provide the documents. Perhaps this is the way D.C. works, but, come July 7th and the documents are either light or DHS didn’t even bother, what do the Republicans do? Historically, not much. We’ll be lucky if there’s a small hearing, at which Democrats will bloviate and call Republicans names and such. We’ve seen it before. There are too many get along go along. They’re the guard dog which lies down to get its belly rubbed by the burglers.
From January 2021 to February 2023, it is estimated that Biden’s DHS has released more than 880,000 illegal aliens into the U.S. interior via the agency’s parole pipeline at the border. The estimate, though, is not a definitive figure as DHS actively buries such data.
I have little confidence they’ll get the data. DHS will not provide it, the GOP will call Mayorkas to a hearing, Mayorkas will yammer and bloviate and say he does not have the numbers, and Republicans will thunder and bloviate and let him off the hook, rather than saying something like “OK, here’s a phone, call someone right now. We’ll wait.” Or, better yet, threaten to hold him in contempt prior to the hearing if he fails to have the required information. I have little trust in the GOP Elites. How long is it taking the investigations of Hunter and Joe?
