Critics are questioning Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ handling of the escalating crisis at the southern border. The central point of contention seems to be the shift in language, prioritizing the term ‘non-citizen’ over ‘illegal alien’, which critics argue is deflecting attention from the substantial increase in illegal entries. In the fiscal year of 2022 alone, more than 2.3 million encounters were recorded, a figure that has already surpassed 1.7 million this year. Critics voice concern that this unchecked influx is straining resources, bypassing vetting procedures, and potentially posing risks to national security. They are urging the government to shift focus from political correctness to concrete actions.
