Republicans Show Mayorkas What’s Coming When GOP Takes Control of the House; Republicans Warn Mayorkas to Prepare Border Data; DHS has not Provided Republicans with Plan to End Border Crisis After 15 Requests

Republicans show Mayorkas what’s coming if GOP wins control of the House:

House Republicans’ top investigators wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday demanding he pony up reams of information on the chaotic border that he’s withheld during his tenure in office.

The letter from Rep. James Comer, the top Republican on the Oversight and Reform Committee, foreshadows the issues the GOP is likely to press Mr. Mayorkas on if Republicans, as expected, win control of the chamber in next week’s elections.

Mr. Comer led fellow committee members in calling Mr. Mayorkas’ management of the border an “abject failure.”

“We cannot endure another year of the Biden Administration’s failed border policies,” the lawmakers wrote. “We have written DHS fifteen times this Congress to conduct oversight over the border crisis. Again, we request documents and information to understand the Biden Administration’s plans, if any, to secure the border.”

Among the demands are any documents describing Mr. Mayorkas’ plans to achieve operational control of the southern border; plans to cut illegal border crossings; plans to reduce the number of “gotaways” that the Border Patrol knows entered but couldn’t be interdicted; and plans to reduce the flow of drugs and terrorism suspects.
