DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas’ secure border claim a ‘lie,’ CBP officials say:

Border Patrol officials are blasting Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for claiming the southern border of the US is “secure,” calling it a “lie” as the nation just shattered the record for most border stops in a single year.

“Look, the border is secure,” Mayorkas insisted during the Aspen Security Forum on Tuesday. “We are working to make the border more secure. That has been a historic challenge.”

While a total of 1,746,119 migrant encounters have been recorded in FY 2022 — which began in October — as of June, the secretary pointed fingers at lawmakers for the historic numbers.

“I have said to a number of legislators who expressed to me that we need to address the challenge at the border before they pass legislation and I take issue with the math of holding the solution hostage until the problem is resolved,” he said.

“There is work to be done,” Mayorkas continued, adding that “safe and secure are two different words.”

“There are smugglers that operate on the Mexican side of the border, and placing one’s life in their hands is not safe,” he said.--->READ MORE HERE

Amid Record Illegal Immigration, Mayorkas Insists Border Is ‘Secure.’ What Would Unsecured Look Like?

Millions of people have illegally crossed the southern border into the United States in the past few years, but the Biden administration says everything is fine, with “nothing to see here.”

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas even said last week that the southern border is “secure.”

With scant evidence or justification, he’s been repeating that “secure” line since assuming his post in February 2021.

“Look, the border is secure,” he said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on July 19. “We are working to make the border more secure. That has been a historic challenge.”

That’s quite a remarkable statement from the homeland security secretary. Almost none of it is true, except for the “historic” part.

Of course, Mayorkas followed up his assurance that all is well with a predictable call for “comprehensive immigration reform” that Democrats have been selling for generations.

“I have said to a number of legislators who expressed to me that we need to address the challenge at the border before they pass legislation, and I take issue with the math of holding the solution hostage until the problem is resolved,” Mayorkas said.

“There is work to be done,” he said, before adding that “safe and secure are two different words.” --->READ MORE HERE
