Tom Cotton: Biden’s Pick For Homeland Security Is ‘Disqualified’ For ‘Selling Citizenship’ To Chinese Nationals – By Tim Pearce (Daily Wire) / Nov 26 2020
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) ripped into Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s pick to head the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for “selling citizenship” to Chinese nationals.
Cotton denounced Alejandro Mayorkas, who Biden announced he would pick as his DHS chief on Tuesday, during an interview on Fox News on Wednesday. Cotton said that Mayorkas’ alleged abuse of the EB-5 visa program, which allows foreigners who invest significant sums into growing U.S. businesses to apply for green cards, “disqualified” Mayorkas from the position.
“He was found by Barack Obama’s inspector general to be guilty of selling green cards to Chinese nationals on behalf of rich Democratic donors,” Cotton said. “Think about that. Selling citizenship to well-connected Chinese nationals on behalf of Democratic Party donors. That is disqualifying…”
In tweeting out the clip, Cotton added: “Alejandro Mayorkas was found by Barack Obama’s Inspector General to be guilty of selling Green Cards to Chinese nationals on behalf of rich, democratic donors. He is disqualified from leading the Department of Homeland Security.”
