DHS Secretary Had a Disastrous Meeting with Border Patrol Agents

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' meeting with Border Patrol agents in the Yuma Sector on Wednesday did not go well after he admitted the staggering amount of illegal border crossings has made the agents' job more difficult.

Mayorkas said DHS is trying to work with the Mexican government to stop the flow of immigrants before they reach the U.S. border.

An agent pressed Mayorkas on how DHS can reconcile saying border security is the main mission for Border Patrol, yet agents are unable to patrol the border due to the policies the Biden administration has in place.

It is a possible reference to the outrage that started over false claims agents on horseback were "Whipping" people illegally crossing the border in the Del Rio Sector, which included Mayorkas, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden.

"Look it's worse now than it, frankly, has been in at least 20 years, if not ever," Mayorkas said at another point in the meeting regarding the overall situation at the border.

In the recording, Border Chief Patrol Raul Ortiz did not seem happy with the questions being asked because, according to him, it came off as griping instead of coming to Mayorkas with solutions.

Mayorkas can be then heard going back to the first agent who turned his back on him and asked how long he had been part of Border Patrol.
