Mayorkas urges passage of border security bill, says Biden admin has enforced the law since 'day one'
Story by Ashley Carnahan • 10h


Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas welcomed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's decision to move forward with a second attempt at passing a bipartisan border security bill that was defeated in both the House and Senate earlier this year.

Mayorkas told Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto Tuesday on "Your World" that the bill would "deliver for us changes to 30-year-old laws that are incredibly needed."
 
"We're dealing with a terrifically broken asylum system and [this] would deliver for us resources at a level that we desperately need, that we do not have," he said.

Schumer told his Democratic colleagues in a letter obtained by Politico that the Senate would take up the Border Act as a stand-alone measure later this week.
 
The test vote will need 60 yeas on a motion to break a filibuster to begin debate on the bill, but it is widely expected to fail, according to Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Except for the past 1,200+ days the Biden administration has absolutely refused to enforce the law, they've pretty much enforced the law.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.
