We have the worst border crisis in history, and the Biden administration insists that our southern border is secure. This disconnect between the narrative and reality is the reason why Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is currently facing potential impeachment.
Yet, after watching his interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace, it all makes sense.
“Our goal is to achieve operational control of the border, to do everything that we can to support our personnel with the resources, the technology, the policies that really advance the security of the border, and do not come at the cost of the values of our country, ” Mayorkas told Wallace. “The law needs to be changed if it does not either meet our highest ideals or actually proves to be functional in the service of those ideals.”
Mayorkas remains defiant in the face of Republican efforts to oust him, but when Wallace pressed him on his insistence that the border is secure, he gave a very telling answer.
“What does ‘secure’ mean to you?” Wallace asked.
“There is not a common definition of that,” Mayorkas claimed.
“If one looks at [Congress’s 2006] statutory definition, the literal interpretation of the statutory language, if one person successfully evades law enforcement at the border, then we have breached the security of the border,” he continued. “Our goal is to achieve operational control of the border, to do everything that we can to support our personnel with the resources, the technology, the policies, that really advance the security of the border, and do not come at the cost of the values of our country. I say that because in the prior [Donald Trump] administration, policies were promulgated or passed that did not hew to the values that we hold dear.”

Inviting in waves of barbarians is an “American value”?
The law passed by the people’s representatives in Congress represents the nation’s values.
You don’t get to override that with your personal preferences.
“...hew...”
Some words just grate.
Nourish. Cleanse. Hew.
“I say that because in the prior [Donald Trump] administration, policies were promulgated or passed that did not hew to the values that we hold dear.”
Exactly what values would that be Mayorkas, you POS.
As Homeland Security Secretary, Mayorkas is part of the Executive Branch of our government - not the Legislative.
It would thus stand Mayorkas in good stead to refrain from commenting upon established Law, and to instead simply enforce those laws.
As far as the meaning of the term "border security," that is relatively straightforward: No one crosses the border unlawfully.
There! That wasn't so complicated, was it?

He’s part Greek and Cuban so that should answer that question for you.
Exactly. This has always been about whether we are a republic or not. We elected representatives who passed laws to control the border... to ignore those laws is to spit in the face of your citizens and express contempt for your own people. Wars have been fought over less...
The liar and dissembler on display
If he doesn’t like a law he simply ignores it, after swearing to uphold it
He’s staging an Invasion of the United States in front of our eyes
His goal is to subjugate The Americans - and he isn’t one of us - to the will of his friends and their foreign collaborators
He’s not really a Traitor so much as a saboteur
And actual Americans are being convicted on phony charges of “seditious conspiracy” for a few texts during a protest and jailed as political prisoners
This sob belongs in a prison all his own
And 100% a$$hole.
Deport Majorkas back to his native Cuba, communist twerp that he is.
Here’s a real core value:
** Foreigners mooching off and displacing the natives is not one of our core values. Immigration is no good if it degrades the well-being the people who are already here. **
A nation that isn’t valued by those prattling on about its “values” that demand an invasion not be stopped.
I have one thing to say to Mayorkas, as he KNOWS what is meant by “secure”.
BULL💩!!
Well said!
Mayorkas can admit all of the German physicists and British engineers and Taiwanese entrepreneurs he wants - no one will object. But they always insist on more illiterate day laborers - which are not valued in any way Americans hold dear. :)
This commie is just gaslighting.
I wish more Americans would have the courage to call these people out to their faces.
The American conservative behaves as a statesman when he is facing the common gutter scoundrel.
Worse, the American conservative believes he is opposing another statesman.
The greeting, “Good Morning” will evolve to “Where are you from?”
The three values Mayorkas holds dear are power, control and elimination of one’s enemies.
