Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday claimed that the southern border "is secure" -- even as Border Patrol agents are facing historic migrant numbers.

Mayorkas spoke at the Aspen Security Forum, where he was asked about the situation at the southern border -- which has seen more than 200,000 migrant encounters a month in the last three months.

But, even though he acknowledged the situation is a "historic challenge," the secretary claimed the border is "secure."

"Look, the border is secure," he said. "We are working to make the border more secure. That has been a historic challenge."

He also used the question to take aim at lawmakers who have said they will not pass comprehensive immigration legislation. A number of Republicans have said they would not consider legislation that includes a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country until the border crisis ends.

Mayorkas and Kamel or doing so well at securing our border.  It's enough to make me want to puke to think of the impact that all the ILLEGALS are having on our beloved country.

It's just a matter of time before more and more American citizens find themselves competing for food and a roof over their heads and then they are going to see and feel the deterioration created by this massive influx of ILLEGALS.

Everyone ready for a Venezuela type U.S.A.?

I do hope when the Dems get thrown out that this Mayorkas faces criminal charges against him for failure to uphold the oath of defending this nation and its immigration laws.

This is what comes to mind reading the headline. It's like Mayorkas bullshitting America while being run down by the hordes of illegals coming across the border.
