WASHINGTON — Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas lamented the delay in immigration enforcement actions until the final year of President Biden’s term — despite having testified to Congress several times while in office that the US border was “secure.”
In an appearance Tuesday at Politico’s Security Summit, Mayorkas discussed aspects of the “broken” immigration system in America, acknowledging that a “low bar” for those expressing “credible fear of persecution” allowed too many migrants into the country during the Biden administration.
More than 8 million entered by the start of the 46th president’s final year in office — before Biden moved to shut down the border and crack down on illegal crossings via an executive order, first reported by The Post.
Democrats had been urging tighter border security months before, with at least one referring to Biden’s delay as “political malpractice.”
Mayorkas declined to “speculate” on the reasons for the too-little-too-late decision, which fueled President Trump’s return to the White House with a border security pledge.
“I am not in a position to speculate,” he told Politico’s Alex Burns at the Tuesday event when asked whether the delayed order enabled Trump’s 2024 victory, “but I will tell you that I would be far more better rested and less punched.”
The former DHS chief testified several times to Congress that illegal crossings were not an issue under Biden and the border was “secure,” leading to his impeachment in February 2024.
“With the authorities and the funding that we have, it is as secure as it can be,” Mayorkas also told a House committee just weeks after the impeachment.

Lock this LIAR up.
He is responsible for the horrific invasion ... of the third world hoards, into this country.
Twenty million illegal alien invaders. I would have never called the border as being “secure”.
"better rested and less punched"?
This asshole deserves to be Lenny's wife every night. "I was just doing what I was told" doesn't hold water.
Never trusted Mayorkas. He should have spoken up rather than trying to convince people the border was secure because I don’t think anyone believed him. He was only hurting himself trying to back up that worthless Biden.
Hey Alejandro. The “delay” in enforcement WAS the policy!!!! The policy was OPEN BORDERS. You knew it. You implemented it. You are lying in this interview. The reporter buying your BS should be ashamed for not challenging you.

So he lied to Congress. Didn’t Van Hollen tell Patel yesterday that lying to Congress was against the law?
"Free from the risk of being intercepted or listened to by unauthorized persons." (American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition)
Interesting how officials tell the truth AFTER they leave office.
Most Senior officials from the State Dept. on down, DHS, special envoys and negotiators from Mad Albright, John Kerry and even the worst of them all Barakeh Hussein Obama eventually admit truths after they are out of office.
Too bad the border was a free for all for so long.
He needs to be not breathing after a short dance on air.
That’s what traitors deserve.
Hardly a day passes by that some illegal in the US, let in under Biden and Mayorkas, doesn’t commit a major crime, including murder:
Just today, from Breitbart and Border Hawk:
“Biden Illegal Charged With Sexually Assaulting Elderly Victims at Assisted Living Facility in Wisconsin Sanctuary County”
EXCLUSIVE: Biden Illegal Charged With Raping Dead Girlfriend’s Underage Daughter in Montana
“DOJ Has Charged More than 260 Tren de Aragua Gang Members Since Trump Took Office”
“UPDATE: Suspect Arrested for Wisconsin Machete Rampage Is Nicaraguan Illegal Shielded by Biden Regime”
Mayorkas - and Biden - should be held personally responsible for unleashing these monsters on innocent people in the US - and hanged for treason.
Make vigilantism great again.
This guy and the many other traitors that STILL remain in our faces to this very day.
He knows the administration is closing in on him. His only hope is to play nice.
Mayorkas must be tried for treason.
What the hell is the rule of law? They’re ain’t none.
Just fill out this questionnaire, Pedro....
You don’t seem to be bonkers. Your federal bonding amount will be $20,000.

Where’s the immigration judge?
The American public is. Once you get $20,000 into your federal trust fund, you get to leave the camp.
His only regret is that it didn’t work to prevent Republicans from winning.
He is evil incarnate.
Mayorkas should be prosecuted for lying to voters and locked up. His lies should make him an accessory to all the murders and assaults performed by illegals.
