2:41Now PlayingHomeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told lawmakers Wednesday that the “unprecedented challenges” at the U.S.-Mexico border cannot be resolved overnight, “due in large part to the damage done over the last four years.”
In testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee, Mayorkas said the Trump administration left behind an inhumane and inadequate system that his department is working swiftly to revamp.
“President Biden has made one of his top priorities reversing the effects of the previous administration’s cruel immigration policies that separated parents from their children to deter others from seeking to enter this country,” Mayorkas said in his opening remarks.
When pressed by Republicans, he refused to concede that the situation amounts to a crisis.
