Democrats are the current evolution of Nazis.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, lashed out at Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on border security, blaming him for the rapes and deaths of children swept up in the crisis at the border.

"Mr. Secretary, I want to say to you right now, your behavior is
disgraceful. And the deaths, the children assaulted, the children raped,
they are at your feet. And if you had integrity, you would resign," Cruz
told Mayorkas of his handling of the border crisis. "The men and women of
the Border Patrol, they've never had a political leader undermine them.
They despise you, Mr. Secretary, because you're willing to let children be raped to follow political orders. This is a crisis. It's a disgrace. And
you won't even admit this human tragedy as it is crisis."

HOMELAND REPUBLICANS TO TURN UP THE HEAT ON MAYORKAS AFTER BORDER PATROL CHIEF�S �EARTH-SHATTERING� TESTIMONY

The exchange comes as Republicans have reportedly sought to turn up the
heat on Mayorkas in the aftermath of dramatic testimony by Border Patrol
Chief Raul Ortiz earlier this month in which Ortiz revealed several points
of disagreement with the Biden administration on border security,
including halting construction of the border wall and polices he argued
made it difficult to do their job.

Ortiz also stated that the U.S. does not have operational control of the border, an assertion that contradicts testimony by Mayorkas last year.

"In five of those nine southwest border sectors, we have seen an increase
in flow and that has caused a considerable strain on our resources and
really has forced the Border Patrol to move agents and even migrants to
some of the other areas," Ortiz said.

BORDER PATROL CHIEF SAYS DHS DOESN'T HAVE OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF US BORDER

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., told Fox
News Digital last week that Ortiz's statements were "earth-shattering
stuff" and indicated a desire to have Mayorkas and others testify on the situation in front of the committee.

"I think we want to talk to all the sector chiefs, but certainly the five
that are struggling with the overflow right now and get their
perspectives," he said. "And then at some point, Secretary Mayorkas is
going to have to come and answer the question � did he lie to Congress, or
is he just ignorant about the definition in the code on what defines operational security?"

During Wednesday's Senate committee hearing, Cruz quizzed Mayorkas on why
some migrants at the border were wearing wristbands, something the
Homeland Security secretary admitted he didn't know.

That answer angered Cruz further, who argued it revealed Mayorkas is "incompetent."

"You don't know what they are. Mr. Secretary, you just testified to the American people. You're incompetent at your job," Cruz said "I've been to
the southern border. And if you go to the southern border, along the
southern border, you see thousands of these wristbands because the illegal immigrants wear them. The drug cartels, every color corresponds to how
many thousands of dollars they owe the cartels. You have turned these
cartels into multibillion-dollar criminal organizations."

From Placement International

If we sum up all the specific payments towards acquiring citizenship in
the USA, the total ranges from $4,000 to $11,300. However, most people end
up spending between $6,000 and $8,000. This is a major expense, and
financial preparation is a vital aspect of the migration journey. They
still need to pass the medical test and background checks. So is it really
fair to the immigrants that came here legally and had to wait?
