An ongoing crisis at the southern border is bad not just for the White House officials and Democrat leaders who failed to promptly stop the surge — but "all of us" on both sides of the border, Rep. Richard McCormick, R-Ga., told Newsmax.
In an interview Monday on "Newsline," McCormick railed at the human disasters triggered by inaction — specifically calling out Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for "lies."
"If you look at what's come across the border as far as fentanyl, the 80% of the women that were raped repeatedly … coming across the border, the amount of child trafficking — the 100,000 children that we've lost have come across the border — the fact that people are actually in abject slavery, trying to pay back their jackals for up to 13 years of indentured servitude," he recounted. "There's nothing good about this. There's nothing compassionate about this."
"They like to spin it that way," McCormick said of President Joe Biden, Mayorkas, and Capitol Hill Democrats. "But this is bad for them, and it's bad for us simultaneously."
Taking pointed aim at Mayorkas, McCormick charged "he's lied to Congress openly in front of hearings that we can all look at what he's done, when he's opened our borders when he's basically violated our sovereignty as a nation."
"This all comes through the president's direction though," McCormick asserted. "We have to remember that this goes far beyond just what Mayorkas has done, it has to do with the Biden policies that the Democrats seem to have embraced … and actually supported."
The lawmaker said the "10 million people flooding across the border in the last three years" would basically comprise 13 congressional districts worth "that are unfunded … on the taxpayers' dockets."
"Our children will have to pay an interest loan on this — on funding 13 congressional district worth of people that cannot work legally," he said. "Their entire subsistence is money we provide for their food, for their housing, for their medical, for education."
He added: "One person being born costs about $4,000, that's all unfunded, and that's being done to the Biden administration, done by Mayorkas and his lies and what he's not doing for us."
