Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas downplayed the situation at the border during a press conference on Monday, denying that there is a crisis going on despite warnings from Democrat lawmakers that the country is headed for “catastrophic” results because of the immigration agenda that the Biden administration is pushing.

“All I can do is communicate both to the American public and to the individuals seeking protection, that we are working around the clock, seven days a week to make that timeframe as short as possible, but they need to wait,” Mayorkas said. “But they need to wait with a particular goal in mind. We are not saying don’t come. We are saying don’t come now. Because we will be able to deliver safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible.”
