House Republicans on Friday asked Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas to take a tougher approach on the US-Mexico border to “prevent
the impending catastrophe” they say is coming due to President Biden’s new
immigration bill and related policy changes.

Democrats on Thursday unveiled a Biden-supported bill that would offer the
more than 11 million estimated illegal immigrants a path to US
citizenship, which Republicans say could become a new “pull” factor.

The White House said Tuesday it also will begin an end to the “Remain in
Mexico” policy for asylum seekers from Central America. About 71,000
applicants will be allowed into the US to await decisions, the White House
said.

“The Biden Administration’s policies limiting immigration enforcement and
weakening border security, coupled with its proposal to grant amnesty to
illegal immigrants, are signaling to the world that our immigration laws
can be violated with little, if any, consequence,” Republicans on the
House Oversight Committee wrote to Mayorkas.

“We are particularly concerned that the Biden Administration’s actions
could soon lead to a health crisis at the border and surrounding
communities, causing widespread COVID-19 infections and fatalities.”

The 19 Republicans, led by Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), ask Mayorkas to
outline “the administration’s plan to prevent the impending catastrophe on
the border.”

The GOP group contended, “The increasing number of [unaccompanied
children] and family units illegally crossing the border will soon
overwhelm border facilities in the middle of a global pandemic, forcing
CBP officials to resort to widespread, rapid catch and release of
unlawfully present individuals and families into the interior of the
country.”

In his first month as president, Biden ended construction of former
President Donald Trump’s US-Mexico border wall and vowed to relax a wide
range of policies that sought to limit immigration, including a rule that
the US cannot admit immigrants likely to require public assistance. Trump
cast the restrictions as necessary protection for low-wage US workers and
taxpayers, but Biden has described the policies as “inhumane.”

Biden also ended a “zero tolerance” Trump-era policy for prosecuting
illegal border crossings.

Former Trump White House adviser Stephen Miller, who orchestrated many of
Trump’s immigration policies, said Thursday on Fox News that the new
immigration bill is poorly timed given high unemployment due to the COVID-
19 pandemic.

“You have 20 million Americans who want full-time jobs right now, but
because of the pandemic they can’t find them,” Miller said.

The former senior adviser lambasted the bill as a “full-scale attack on
the very idea of nationhood.”

“If you were trying to write a bill to eliminate the concept of having a
nation, this is the bill you would write,” Miller added.

In December, then-President-elect Biden said he was concerned about
abruptly relaxing Trump’s immigration policies because he feared that if
he acted too quickly, he would trigger “2 million people on our border.”
