During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas once again claimed that the southern border is “not open,” prompting Republicans to label him a “tyrant” and a liar and to call for his impeachment.
Despite some 7 million encounters with illegal immigrants since Joe Biden took office, Mayorkas claimed that he is “proud” of the his Department’s work at the border, claiming “our approach to managing the border securely and humanely, even within our fundamentally broken immigration system is working.”
