The GOP is calling for Mayorkas to resign —again.
On Sunday, more than 1,000 migrants rushed the El Paso border after word circulated online that they would gain entry into the U.S. By Monday, videos of the event had gone viral.
Now, prominent conservative voices are calling on DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to resign.
Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Richard Jones told “Fox & Friends First” Monday that America is “losing the battle” after seeing the border crisis firsthand.
“There are places on the border where there’s not even any security. I’m asking for [Mayorkas] to resign immediately. He doesn’t tell the truth. If you don’t think our country is in crisis and all you got to do is see a thousand people rush the border, and they come across. They used to come across in the dark. Now they come across in the daylight.”
“Our military needs to be involved and go into Mexico. We need to defend our country right now,” Jones added. “And if that means the military has to go into Mexico, we should look at that. And we’ve got to stop this. 100,000 people die of fentanyl poisoning in the United States every single year. And that number is going up.”
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) echoed Jones’ comments, calling for Mayorkas/ impeachment.
“Our border is not secure,” Mace told “Fox & Friends First.” “Secretary Mayorkas is like a firefighter running away from a fire. He ought to be impeached for this. And this lawlessness has to end. This is unbelievable. They’re putting the lives of our Border Patrol at risk here by allowing this kind of thing to happen. We’re not following our laws. We allow them to come here illegally and stay here illegally without consequence. And you’re seeing the results of that today.”
Florida Senator Rick Scott shared the story on twitter, calling on Mayorkas to resign.
“I’ve been saying for months that @SecMayorkas needs to resign. He has handed control of our border to the savage cartels, turning the other way as deadly drugs enter our country and kill Americans.”

Arizona Rep. Eli Crane took a shot at the Biden Admin, asking if this is what “operational control” looks like.
When Secretary Mayorkas testified before @JudiciaryGOP, he told @RepChipRoy that the Biden Admin has "operational control" over the border.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz blasted the Biden Admin for not caring about law and order.
Stunning video. Mad rushes like this will continue to happen so long as illegal aliens think the American president doesn’t give a damn about law and order. #BidenBorderCrisis https://t.co/aoy5gYWSes
