McCarthy calls on Mayorkas to resign over border crisis

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday called for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to resign.

McCarthy predicted that there will be 13 million more illegal crossings for the rest of President Biden’s term “if nothing changes.”

So far, there have been about 4 million land encounters with migrants since Biden took office. McCarthy said there will be a “tsunami” of illegal immigration at the border if Title 42 is lifted, bringing the total encounters with migrants to 17 million.

McCarthy was in El Paso meeting with border agents, who he said told him the border is not secure. The California Republican told reporters that he visited a bridge where 70,000 migrants crossed into the U.S. over the last 7 weeks.
