On 11/16/2021, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) called out Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his and provide answers to Tennesseans. Heated exchange: Your attitude, your questioning filled with inaccuracies, obviously you don’t know the answer, failure to secure the southern border.
Blackburn noted that an untold number of additional aliens had evaded detection and are inside the country with no notice. “We still have a lot of people that we do not know where they are in this country,” she said.
“Can you explain to me why a wall is effective and necessary at the White House and the Biden beach house, but not at the southern border?” Biden is using taxpayer dollars to put a wall around his beach house instead of the southern border.
“So many Tennesseans that I talk to are absolutely outraged with the benefits and the handouts that are given to illegal immigrants, especially at a time when so many people are really suffering due to this oppressive inflation that we are seeing take hold of our economy. We are finding ourselves in the midst of the worst border crisis ever…Under this administration, we are at an all-time high, you were setting records, and now you’re talking about giving these illegal immigrants a billion dollars in settlement money. A billion dollars is a lot of money. That’s a lot of taxpayer money…I want an answer to how many miles of border wall could you build with a billion dollars? Obviously you don’t know the answer to that. The answer is 50 miles of border wall… How many border agents could you hire with a billion dollars? I can tell you it’s over 15,000 border agents. How many immigration judges, another thing the border patrol has told us that they need at that southern border…7,213 immigration judges could be hired. These are all things the border patrol has said that they need.”
