Amid Massive Surge, DHS Secretary Mayorkas Insists Southern Border 'Is Secure' and 'Not Open'

"The border is secure and the border is not open. We are expelling, under the CDC’s public health authority in light of the pandemic, single individuals who arrive at the border.

@BohemianBoo and Gov. Abbott Wouldn't have to be spending Texans hard earned money to ship them to D.C.

@BohemianBoo apparently no one told the president he had to have a place to house them.... feed them good while his military survive on food stamps

@sunsporter1649 No, I was talking about the one that helped embarrass Abbott.

@MarineBob Most of them were being kept in housing at the border.
Biden really hasn't changed much of Trump's policies on immigration.
