DHS Head Mayorkas Claims There Is “No Disaster” At The Border
Republicans lay into Mayorkas over Wide Open Border
Steve Watson
Despite record numbers of encounters with illegal immigrants crossing the southern U.S. border in their thousands every day, including suspected terrorists, the head of the Biden Department for Homeland Security claimed under oath [this week] that there is “no disaster”.
Alejandro Mayorkas made the claim while testifying before Congress regarding the border security budget and spending, and asking for more funding.
GOP Senator John Boozman told Mayorkas that “by every metric the situation at the border is a disaster,” adding that “what you’re asking for does nothing to get those numbers down.”
Mayorkas attempted to pivot the exchange to suggest Republicans are resistant to providing funding to hire more personnel at the border.
Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith further asked Mayorkas: “So the situation at the border, you’re saying, is not a disaster?”
“That is correct,” Mayorkas then answered.

Mayorkas was further pressed by other Senators about whether he sees the border situation as a crisis and again failed to respond:
“Either you’re not qualified to manage a Costco food court or you believe in open borders,” says @SenJohnKennedy to Biden’s incompetent DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
