Mayorkas faces criticism over border response.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refused to call the ongoing situation at the southern border a "crisis" in an interview, claiming that admitting the situation was a crisis would indicate a "withdrawal from our mission." Mayorkas was hammered about the situation at the border during multiple hearings in the Senate and the House this week, which saw a number of Republicans saying he should quit or be fired. Republicans have linked the dramatic increase in migrants coming to the border to the Biden administration’s policies.
