Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday appeared to blame the victims in last week’s migrant-truck horror that left 53 people dead — saying the Biden administration has repeatedly warned those trying to cross the border how dangerous it is.
Mayorkas was trying to fight off critics who have blamed the administration’s alleged lax border policies for the tragedy.
“We have said repeatedly and we continue to warn people not to take the dangerous journey,” Mayorkas said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”
“We saw so tragically in San Antonio, Texas, one of the possible tragic results of that dangerous journey, and so many people don’t even make it that far in the hands of exploitative smugglers.”
He said migrants who are traveling from Central and South America to the US-Mexico border are receiving false information from trafficking cartels before making the journey.
