Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says he is focused on getting congressional support to fix the 'broken immigration system' in the U.S.
for his alleged failures in addressing the situation along the border. Mayorkas said Sunday that his mission involves drawing support from Congress to help agents along the border: “I look at their needs. I try to fulfill their needs. We go to Congress and seek support.
Mayorkas also stressed that the trafficking of fentanyl by cartels must be addressed. “We have to stop the flow of fentanyl, and we also have to address the demand,” he said, adding that the U.S. has a “very close partnership” with Mexico and transnational criminal investigative units inside the country.
“We are working with our Mexican authorities,” he said. “We are working with our partners internationally to put pressure on China to interdict the flow, to identify the transport companies, to cut off the finances, to hold individuals and companies accountable.”
