#shorts Even Chris Wallace Isn’t Buying Border Blame Game From Homeland Security Sec Alejandro Mayorkas. CNN anchor Chris Wallace pushed back when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas cited Republican rhetoric as a reason migrants say they believe the border is open under President Joe Biden. On this week’s edition of HBO Max and CNN’s Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace, the host confronted Mayorkas with video from a congressional hearing at which a border official testified that migrants believe the border is “open” under the new administration.

Chris Wallace: Migrants believe there’s an open border.

MAYORKAS: Chris, have you heard some of our political leaders speak about the border and communicate that the border is open? I don’t think the more than 1.5 million people who have been removed or expelled from the border would consider the border open. But political leaders communicate that the border is open. That is music to the smugglers ears and the smugglers themselves.

Chris Wallace: So wait, you’re gonna blame this all on Republican critics? I mean, you’re not going to say that the administration and the policies on remain in Mexico where title 42, or stopping construction of the wall that – that had no impact?

MAYORKAS: Chris, that’s not what I said. I’m just, I’m just citing for you a few things and please, allow me. Number one, they use that rhetoric.
