#shorts On 4/18/2023, Lankford Challenges Mayorkas for Hiding the Truth on the Border from the American People.
During Tuesday’s U.S. Senate Homeland Security Subcommittee on Government Operations and Border Management, U.S. Senator James Lankford questioned Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the Biden Administration’s budget request for the Department of Homeland Security.

Lankford: We’re working on what we need and what we believe will actually work as well, but we’ve received very little back from your team to say, “This is what we need to be able to make sure that we can actually secure things.” We’re doing things administratively, this is what we need legislatively. Does that make sense?

Mayorkas: Yes, it did. It does, Senator. I look forward very much to working with you and presenting proposals to fix our immigration system, to build on the proposal that the president, uh, sent to Congress on this very first day in office.

Lankford: Well, that proposal was universally not accepted because it actually opened the border up more. So, if that’s the proposal we’re talking about, we’re in trouble. Now, two years later, the regulatory piece that you’re trying to put in place right now with the comment period is very different than what the president proposed on his first day of office, as you know well. If this is about the regulatory piece that you’re proposing and going through the, rule-making process now, we want to talk about how we can actually fix that to be able to make sure we close the loopholes, that we actually secure the border.
