Several Democratic senators admitted to the Daily Caller News Foundation Tuesday that the U.S.-Mexico border isn’t secure, but defended Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ claim to the contrary.
Mayorkas was impeached by the House of Representatives on Feb. 13 on two articles relating to his alleged “wilful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and “breach of the public trust” in his leadership of U.S. border security policy, where illegal migrant encounters have exceeded six million people.
Senate Democrats on Tuesday defended Mayorkas against questions of whether he lied to Congress in recent testimony that the border was secure, and attempted to blame Republicans for not acting on border security legislation they previously proposed.
