MAYORKAS INVITES MORE ILLEGAL CROSSERS. After the mass incursion of 30,000 illegal border crossers in Del Rio, Texas, recently, with the squalid, under-the-bridge migrant camp that resulted, you might think the Biden administration would not want to make things worse. But you would be wrong.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has issued a new edict directing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, not to remove or deport any illegal immigrant just for the crime of being in the country illegally. "The fact an individual is a removable noncitizen ... should not alone be the basis of an enforcement action against them," Mayorkas writes in a Sept. 30 memo to the head of ICE and other top officials.
