Mayorkas has repeatedly explained that he supports more immigration because of his immigrant parents, his sympathy for immigrants, and his support for “equality” between Americans and foreigners.
He also justifies welcoming immigrants by claiming that his priorities come before the law and that the “needs” of American businesses come first. Fee The impact on ordinary Americans, the impact on American children, and the reasonable objections of Americans.
