Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledges Biden administration should have acted sooner on border controls
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated in a Tuesday interview that the Biden administration should have implemented stricter immigration controls at the southern border earlier. The NY Post characterizes this as a regret about Biden's immigration agenda, noting tension with Mayorkas's previous statements to Congress that the border was 'as secure as it can be' made weeks after his impeachment.
