Representative Green Tells Newsmax that He Successfully Influenced Democrats on Mayorkas

Republicans “moved the needle” Wednesday in convincing some Democrats that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ policies are causing major problems at the U.S. border, says Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn.

During a hearing on the human cost of border crisis before the House Committee on Homeland Security, “a couple of them actually acknowledged that there was a massive crisis at the border,” Green said Wednesday during an appearance on Newsmax‘s “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE.”

“They have to because Democrats across the country are saying that: Mayor [Eric] Adams in New York and the governor in Massachusetts as two examples. We also loved it because they didn’t defend Mayorkas’ policies; all they did was attack [former President Donald] Trump.

“They spent the entire committee hearing going back to Trump and the 5,000 people that were separated, or children that were separated — all in the face of they’re separating 400,000 children.”

Green said one Democratic lawmaker recently acknowledged privately that Mayorkas “should be fired. But when they get together in a group, they’re locking arms and defending. But at least today they didn’t defend; they actually deflected, which is a good sign.”

Republicans are showing everything that Mayorkas has “failed to do, the laws he’s refused to enforce, and potentially some laws that have been violated; and today was actually an interesting look into that,” he said.
