President Joe Biden admitted the southern border isn’t secure just moments after saying he had no idea why Republicans were moving to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
For weeks, Biden’s supplemental package that would fund Ukraine and Israel has been held up in Congress while Congressional leaders debate border security initiatives. Meanwhile, under Mayorkas’ leadership, U.S. Border Patrol encountered more than 2.2 million migrants crossing the southern border during the 2022 fiscal year and more than 2 million in the 2023 fiscal year, according to federal data.
“What do you say to Republicans who are trying to impeach Mayorkas?” Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked the president.
“I don’t get it,” Biden responded.
Moments later Heinrich asked Biden if he believes the border is secure.
“No, it’s not,” Biden responded.
“I haven’t believed that for the last 10 years,” the president continued. “And I’ve said it for the last 10 years. Give me the money.”
