House Homeland Security Committee leader says in roughly past two years more people have entered U.S. illegally than in 12 years of the Obama, Trump administrations combined
Medicaid emergency spending for illegal immigrants more than doubled from fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2021, according to House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green.
During a congressional hearing Wednesday on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ job performance, Green said more people have entered the U.S. illegally under his roughly two-year tenure “than in the 12 years of the Obama and Trump administrations combined.”
He repeated the largely well-known fact that most migrants coming to the southern U.S. border are there because of hard-to-fix economic problems in their countries, but argued that “they’re coming in record numbers because Mayorkas has left the doors of our country unlocked and wide open.”
“These individuals typically possess no legitimate claim to asylum and under prior administrations – both Democrat and Republican – most would have been quickly deported. The difference now? Mayorkas and his policies,” he also said at the hearing, titled “Open Borders, Closed Case: Secretary Mayorkas’ Dereliction of Duty on the Border Crisis.”
The Tennessee Republican said that Medicaid spending on emergency medical services for illegal immigrants went from roughly $3 billion in fiscal year 2020 to over $7 billion in fiscal year 2021.
Green’s office did not respond to a request by the time this story was published for the Medicaid spending amount in fiscal year 2022.
Green also said Wednesday that Mayorkas has “surrendered control” of the southwest border to the Mexican drug cartels.

Just Trump’s 2016 campaign rhetoric alone caused illegal immigration to plummet upon his election. The same was true, in the opposite, in 2020. All Democrats raising their hands to support free health care for illegal immigrants assured that we would be flooded with illegal immigrants should the nation suffer a Democrat as President. Idiot Biden’s rhetoric assured we would see record numbers of illegal immigrants and his stupid ending of the construction of the border wall emphasized the Democrat message that we simply don’t care about our border, our laws, our citizens or our country.
If Democrats didn’t know with certainty that they are doing the wrong thing and causing massive damage to the nation, they wouldn’t be lying that the border is “secure”. This is absolutely nothing short of criminal. Democrats are treasonous criminals.
