Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stressed that the U.S. is both a country of laws and of immigrants in testimony before a House panel on Wednesday.
His testimony comes as the department grapples with a surge in migrants particularly unaccompanied minors to the U.S.-Mexico border. He faced repeated questions from Republicans framing the uptick in asylum-seekers as a crisis spurred by the Biden administration. Mayorkas argued the issue was bigger than a single administration. The situation is undoubtedly difficult. We are working around the clock to manage it, and it will take time, Mayorkas said in his opening remarks to the committee.
