The head of Biden’s Department for Homeland Security has claimed that there is “no disaster” at the border.
Alejandro Mayorkas made the claim under oath on Wednesday despite record numbers of encounters will illegal immigrants crossing the southern U.S. border in their thousands every day,
He was testifying before Congress regarding the border security budget and spending, and while asking for more funding.
