| Yet President Joe Biden's appointees at DHS -- left by secretary
| Alejandro Mayorkas -- are now reducing protections against
| "overstay" illegal migrants, many of whom take jobs from Americans,
| says Jessica Vaughan, the director of Policy Studies for the Center
| for Immigration Studies:
|
|| Much of the attention of policymakers is on the border itself,
|| the land border, and not enough on the side doors through which
|| people come with a visa but then end up staying here illegally.
|| These overstayers are a very significant chunk of the illegal
|| population. We don't know exactly how many there are, but we know
|| it's at least 40 percent [of the illegal population, and] they tend
|| to be more white-collar workers because they had to qualify for a
|| [visitor or work] visa in the first place.
|
| President Donald Trump and his deputies launched programs to reduce
| the overstay population, she added. But Mayorkas and his allies have
| rolled back those protections, such as penalties for overstaying
| graduates from U.S. colleges, she said:
|
|| Now, we have Biden loosening standards for issuing the non-
|| immigrant visas and broadcasting that immigration enforcement in the
|| interior area has been nearly snuffed out by policy. So we should be
|| very concerned that for the foreseeable future, there are going to
|| be even more people trying to get these visas to get into the
|| country because they know that if they get here, they'll be able to
|| stay in all likelihood. I expect the problem to get much worse.

| In December, two GOP Senators charged that officials delayed the
| release of the September 2020 report. The purpose of the delay was
| to protect the Democrats' unpopular amnesty proposals within the
| pending Build Back Better spending bill, the two Senators claimed.

Will Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy impeach Mayorkas, Harris and
Biden?
