Democrat lawmaker is mad DHS isn’t locking up enough white illegal immigrants

Democratic New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver got visibly angry Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not locking up enough white illegal aliens.

McIver accused Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin of racism because every illegal alien detained at Delaney Hall, an immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey, is non-white. The congresswoman did not mention that over 80% of illegal immigrants in the U.S. are non-white.

“Secretary Mullin, you talk about racism a lot in today’s hearing. You know what’s racist? The fact that every detainee in Delaney Hall is a person of color,” McIver said. “The cruelty runs to the top of DHS, weaponizing the immigration system for your president and this administration’s racist grievances.”

Approximately 7% of illegal aliens come from Europe, Canada and Oceania, according to the Migration Policy Institute. An overwhelming majority of 68% originated from Mexico and Central America, while 12% migrated from South America.
