Mayorkas claims migrant encounters down
2023-05-15
[NYPOST] President Biden’s defiant Homeland Security czar said Sunday his agency is doing an "extraordinary’’ job on the migrant crisis — although warning it’s "too early’’ to tell if the surge in asylum-seekers has peaked.
As noted before, he's a sociopath partisan lying traitor. His numbers are pulled out of his ass
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — under fire from all sides over the flood of migrants colonists at the US-Mexico border — hailed what he said was a drastic reduction in migrant encounters in the two days since the more restrictive pandemic emergency measure Title 42 expired Thursday.

Border Patrol agents encountered about 6,300 migrants colonists at the border Friday and another 4,200 Saturday, Mayorkas told CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
’s "State of the Union" — while earlier in the week, that daily figure was north of 10,000.

Still, the Democratic Biden administration’s Homeland chief said it is "too early" to know if the lower daily numbers will hold.

But regardless, Mayorkas pushed back against border-state Democrats such as Arizona’s Rep. Ruben Gallego, who has said "federal agencies have had time to plan, [for the expiration of Title 42], but their efforts have fallen short."

Mayorkas said he would "respectfully disagree" with Gallego, pointing to a boost in border resources that his agency has deployed, including new asylum officers, border and processing agents, stations and detention facilities and regional-processing centers.
