Already, you have a record number of crossings, exceeding your own internal estimates,\u201d Guthrie sternly noted at the outset. \u201cYou have severely overcrowded detention facilities already. The president himself acknowledged this week it\u2019s going to be chaotic for a while. That\u2019s his word not my word.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cMy question to you is why? You have had two years to prepare for this. Why? Why do we have this chaos and confusion at the border,\u201d she asked Mayorkas.<\/p>\n<p>  In reply, Mayorkas tried to spin for all he was worth.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cSavannah, the answer is very, very clear,\u201d he said, though his follow up to that didn\u2019t seem at all clear.<\/p>\n<p>  Should more leftist outlets hold Biden accountable for the border?<\/p>\n<p>     \u201cWe are operating within the constraints of a broken immigration system. There is unanimous agreement about that fact. Our system has been broken for more than two decades. It was last reformed in the 1990s,\u201d he said, adding that DHS has been denied the \u201cresources that we need\u201d and \u201chave requested\u201d by Congress.<\/p>\n<p> But Guthrie was undaunted by all that filibustering. She realized that Mayorkas didn\u2019t come anywhere near answering her question of why the Biden regime has made no move to prepare for this moment even after two years of foreknowledge that this policy was going to end.<\/p>\n<p>  As Title 42 expires, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas joins @SavannahGuthrie to discuss the chaos and severe overcrowding at the southern border saying, \u201cWe are operating within the constraints of a broken immigration system.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/24xeYRoKrU<\/p>\n<p> \u2014 TODAY (@TODAYshow) May 12, 2023<\/p>\n<p>    Guthrie soon cut him off and asked, \u201cI was going to say fair enough, but given those undisputed facts that we do have a broken immigration system, why not delay the expiration of Title 42 until you are ready to handle it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  The NBC anchor then added: \u201cEven some Democratic congress members such as Vincente Gonzalez from Texas has suggested, let\u2019s delay it for a little while and, and get more ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> But Mayorkas disingenuously replied that \u201cwe have been preparing for this moment for more than a year and a half\u201d with a plan that the plan will need more time to \u201cshow results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Guthrie was not satisfied. She pointed out that the regional processing centers DHS keeps talking about haven\u2019t even been constructed yet and asked how he can claim that they have been preparing for this for two years.<\/p>\n<p> Mayorkas lapsed into more spinning with wild claims that Biden \u201chas led the greatest expansion of lawful pathways ever\u201d and said the U.S. has \u201ccommunicated to the migrants, to individuals who are thinking of taking the journey that there is a right way to do it that is lawful, safe, and orderly, and there is a wrong way and the wrong way is in the hands of smugglers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Mayorkas also made the claim that \u201cwe are going to be delivering tougher consequences\u201d to illegal immigrants, despite the few consequences they have actually faced outside the Title 42 restrictions.<\/p>\n<p> Guthrie pointed out immediately that the Biden regime had decided to allow illegals \u201cto be released into this country, but with no court date and no way to track them\u201d and went on to say \u201cpeople at home\u201d know full well that millions of illegals are crossing the border without suffering any real consequences at all. She then told Mayorkas that \u201cthere is a subset of people who are being released into this country with no court date and no way to track them. I mean, that sounds like the border is open for some.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Mayorkas then insisted that \u201cthe vast majority are being removed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Guthrie also slammed Mayorkas from the left by reminding her audience that Joe Biden called Donald Trump un-American for his first country asylum policy where migrants are required to be denied asylum in the first free country they entered before getting here and before being allowed to file for asylum in the U.S.A. She even played video of then candidate Joe Biden attacking Trump for the policy before she noted to Mayorkas that Biden is now continuing the same Trump policy he originally called un-American.<\/p>\n<p> Guthrie\u2019s final question was more pointed than the rest.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cDoes the President bear some responsibility for the surge we\u2019re seeing right now?\u201d she asked, before playing another clip of Biden spouting off about immigration in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>  In the clip, Biden is heard saying, \u201cAll those people are seeking asylum, we\u2019re a nation that says if you want to flee and you\u2019re facing oppression, you should come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Guthrie noted that Biden\u2019s words made millions assume that he was throwing the border wide open for everyone.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cMr. Secretary, they came. They\u2019re sitting outside our border right now. It is cold at night. It is sizzling hot during the day. It is dust. There are children. They came. Did that messaging encourage people to make this crossing?\u201d Guthrie asked.<\/p>\n<p> In a final disingenuous reply, Mayorkas blamed the drug cartel criminals and Congress.<\/p>\n<p>  Guthrie\u2019s hard questions revealed Mayorkas to be engaging in naked political spin, instead of offering serious border crisis resolutions. No wonder there is more and more talk of impeaching him from his position.<\/p>\n<p> Americans \u2014 even Democrats \u2014 fully understand that we are suffering a massive crisis at the U.S. border and both Alejandro Mayorkas and President Joe Biden are making it all far, far worse.<\/p>\n<p>    Tags:<\/p>\n<p> border crisis, Border Patrol, border security, illegal immigration, immigration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE, Joe Biden, liberal media, liberalism, liberals, NBC, US news, White House<\/p>\n<p>   SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact<\/p>\n<p> Warner Todd Huston has been writing editorials and news since 2001 but started his writing career penning articles about U.S. history back in the early 1990s.
