Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently made an appearance in the White House briefing room on Thursday to address the complete collapse of security on the US-Mexico border. Unfortunately, it was nothing but a pack of lies and political pandering to appease his liberal bosses.
Mayorkas Gives Disastrous Press Briefing as Border Security Completely Collapses

Despite the overwhelming evidence of an ongoing border crisis, Mayorkas claimed the border was closed. This is nothing but a bald-faced lie, intended to mislead the American people. The Biden Administration’s reckless policies have triggered a massive surge of illegal immigrants flooding into the country, putting US citizens at grave risk.
REPORTER: "There were more than a million apprehensions, but then there were also more than 530,000 gotaways. That's roughly the size of the population of the city of Baltimore. How can you say that the border is not open?!"

The agents he and President Biden smeared are still being punished for something they didn’t do and the horse unit was pulled off the line. All should be reinstated with an apology and a resignation from this man. A disgrace. https://t.co/XbSkdWvnTZ

Mayorkas had the audacity to call illegal immigrants arriving outside of Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence a “tragedy.” However, the reality is millions of illegal immigrants are arriving in American communities all across the country, causing unprecedented damage and chaos.
Instead of taking responsibility, Mayorkas is busy declaring the Biden administration’s handling of Title 42 a “success,” even though the situation is spiraling out of control. Their flawed immigration policies have only fueled the fire, and it’s left to hardworking Americans to bear the burden.
To deflect attention from his failure, Mayorkas shifted blame to Congress, insinuating Republicans were at fault for introducing a number of bills to stop asylum fraud and tackle the crisis. This is nothing but a ploy to keep the issue stuck in political gridlock.
In a rare moment of truth, Mayorkas admitted his past comments on “whipping” were out of context. However, he failed to provide full context or even offer an apology for pushing the “whipping” smear. It’s just another example of the Biden Administration’s blatant disregard for the truth.
In conclusion, Mayorkas’ appearance in the briefing room is just another example of the Biden Administration’s incompetency and lack of leadership. Their failure to secure the border has created chaos and threatens the safety of millions of Americans. It’s time for the Biden Administration to fix the disaster they created and take meaningful action to protect our nation’s borders and citizens.
