Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday disclosed that the migration surge at the US-Mexico border is likely the worst the situation has been in 20 years.
Mayorkas, who has refused to call the situation a “crisis,” said in a statement that “[w]e are on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years.”
The statement referred to the surge as a “difficult situation,” but said his department is working to handle it “successfully.”
Mayorkas disclosed new information, including that most unaccompanied minors housed in cramped detention camps have family already in the US.
“In more than 80 percent of cases, the child has a family member in the United States. In more than 40 percent of cases, that family member is a parent or legal guardian. These are children being reunited with their families who will care for them,” Mayorkas said.

Jen Psaki actually tried that spin recently saying that Trump had decimated resources on the border and the surge was also four years of pent up demand due to the new"moral" position of the US.
Hop Xing Xiden is in way over his head. He owns the trophy for the worst Illegal Alien Surge in over 20 years. Way to go Hop Xing! Have an ice cream on me then go take a nap.

The dumbest, WH Press Secretary in American History...She won't be around come Summer...
smh and lol, at these Jackass's..
I’ve heard multiple leftists try that spin. John Rothman KGO San Fran) did about a six-banger on this. Drove me completely batty.
[paraphrasing]
“Nobody can say we didn’t have this problem under Trump.” (yeah, but anyone could say we had a reasonable if not nicely working solution with the “stay in Mexico until..” agreement
“Even Republicans will have to admit we need bipartisan immig reform”. Gawd how I despise the word “bipartisan”, almost as much as I hate the word “reform” coming from the mouths of leftists.
Oh, and Trumps’ “cages” (now known to be built by Obama) ceased being torture chambers because of Biden’s presidency but nevertheless remain embarrassing signs of our responsibility to solve what is irrevocably OUR PROBLEM.
And without detailing the other points he was making, overwhelmingly this IS OUR PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
