As the border crisis continues to reach levels previously unheard of, so do the Biden administration’s efforts to completely deny reality on the border.
In a series of interviews this morning, DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas insisted that their plan is “working” and the chaos was “expected.” But when asked:
To show how it’s working, he couldn’t say.
“How can we tell that it's working, Mr. Secretary, because all we see is a lot of people at the border trying to get in.”

How long the crisis will last, he couldn’t say.
“How long is this situation going to go on [at the border]?”

If Biden bears any responsibility, especially given his policies and messaging, he blamed others.

Why there is chaos after two years of planning, he again pointed fingers and refused responsibility.

If this crisis was avoidable, he basically said it wasn’t.

Unacceptable. The only way their “plan” is working is if the plan is chaos. Mayorkas should resign.
