DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday that he does not use the Secure Fence Act’s definition when answering whether the Biden administration has operational control of the southern border, because it defines operations control as “preventing all unlawful entries to the United States.”
The secretary also said that the decision to designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations is up to the State Department. […]
… “With respect to the definition of operational control, I do not use the definition that appears in the Secure Fence Act, and the Secure Fence Act provides statutorily that operational control is defined as preventing all unlawful entries to the United States. By that definition, no administration has ever had operational control. The way I define it is maximizing the resources that we have to deliver the most effective results, and we are indeed doing that. We have for the first time since 2011 increased the number of Border Patrol agents …”

Impeach, remove from office, arrest, prosecute, find guilty, hang with short rope.
“Missed it by that much, Chief.”
“Laws? We don’t need no steenkin’ laws,” he added.
Actually, he only uses whatever the administration tells him to use. He’s a friggin, evil rube and that’s all he is.
How is DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas not clinically insane?
So, in short: “It’s whatever”.
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Representative Peter King (R-N.Y.) on September 13, 2006 and signed into law by President George W. Bush (R) on October 26, 2006.1 Its stated purpose was to “establish operational control over the international land and maritime borders of the United States” by directing the Secretary of Homeland Security within 18 months to take appropriate actions such as systematic border surveillance through more effective use of personnel and technology such as building 700 miles of new fencing along the southern border with Mexico.
Jorge Bush on Hillary Clinton’s birthday in 2006.
I recall seeing somewhere a site that sold T shirts that asked Jorge Bush where the 700 miles of fence went..
So, in 2016 a candidate hated by Jorge and Hillary ran on trying to build a wall after the Rs and D’s failed at building the fence..
Mayorkas is paying for this invasion. He’s been to Columbia where there is a U.S. funded immigration center to prep the immigrants for the journey. Food, clothing and cash to make their trip easy. US democrat funded invasion.
Apparently Mayorkas's bright idea to avoid the question "Why is what you are doing not working?" is to do nothing.
Do nothing, can't get blamed for an ineffectual response.

Yeah, basically.
You had ONE job.
Time to hang this POS.

Like everyone in the Biden administration. He is an unqualified diversity pick who has fonged up everything they touch. Just the way they want it.
@BenBergquam the herding of humans to establish a human trafficking super highway with IOM workers acting as shepherds predominantly with the use of US State Dept funds was the game plan all along.
