'Look, the border is secure': Alejandro Mayorkas makes stunning claim with more than 200,000 migrants passing every month for three months, the most crossings in a year in history and as DC and New York say they are feeling the strain'

The Biden administration continues to assure that the southern border is 'secure' despite record-setting numbers of illegal crossings and proliferation of the crisis over the last few months.

'Look, the border is secure,' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Matorkas insisted during remarks at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Tuesday.

But he added that the administration is still 'working to make the border more secure.'

'That has been a historic challenge,' Mayorkas said, adding that there is a difference between the words 'safe' and 'secure.'

But insistence that the border is secure comes amid a prevailing rise in crossings as well as complaints from New York City and Washington, D.C. that the crisis is finally hitting home after Arizona and Texas starting busing migrants to the city hubs to deal with them.

Crossings are at an all-time high at this point in the year with nearly 1.75 million crossings in Fiscal Year 2022 with the release of June figures last week – and there are still three more months left to go before a total roundup for the year is counted.

The last quarter's figures show that 200,000 migrants passed through the southern border every month for the last three months.

Which one? Between Switzerland and Liechtenstein?

[gattaca]

He needs to be fired.

[rktman]

So, how many are staying with my-orcuss at his house?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Up is down

Men are women

The border is secure

[proust]

Sure why not. Mission accomplished.

[Wonder Warthog]

And they called TRUMP a liar...

[GaltAdonis]

"... the border is secure ..."

Okay.
But let's discuss this issue further by first defining the terms: "Secure" and "Is".

Start there - Okay?

Impeach and remove him.

This is an invasion by definition. The constitution tasks the federal government with protecting against invasion. So this is treason against the united states and the violators should be charged as such.

[vikingd00d]

He keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means...

[Pollard]

The gate is chained securely in the open position.

[goodnesswins]

And we are watching it happen🙁

[eyeamok]

The Supreme Court’s KELO decision gives States the right to sieze property for economic gain. Start using it by siezing the assets of Federal Employee’s in the State to pay for the servicing of illegal foreign invaders. Begin with Judicial Officers

[proust]

Just sit back and take it. After all, you don’t want to wind up like those Jan 6ers, do you?

[joshua c]

mayorkas, how many people would have to cross the border illegally for you to consider the border to be unsecure?

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I consider this guy the Biden admin’s chief psychopath. He blew well past Garland some time ago.

"complaints from New York City and Washington, D.C. that the crisis is finally hitting home after Arizona and Texas starting busing migrants to the city hubs to deal with them."

The first time I've read it's having impact. Keep it up AZ and TX, and increase the busing.

He won’t be fired...He won’t be arrested...There will be no change...

The democrat/liberal/leftists control the border at this time and allow whatever they want to happen...

The ONLY way to control the border the way President Trump did is to vote these suckers out of office in November and vote Trump back into office in 2024...

THE ONLY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
