<p>Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said during an interview over the that he and President Joe Biden were not responsible for the illegal alien crisis that has exploded as a direct result of Biden&#8217;s open border policies.</p>
<p>Mayorkas made the claim during a Sunday NBC News interview with Kristen Welker on &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; as he is on the verge of making history as the first cabinet secretary to be impeached in nearly 150 years.</p>
<p>Mayorkas claimed that allegations that the administration was &#8220;willfully&#8221; not enforcing immigration laws were &#8220;baseless,&#8221; but he could not say how.</p>
<p>The segment comes as more illegal aliens have entered the U.S. through the southern border than at any other time in U.S. history.</p>
<p>&#8220;You yourself have said that more than 85% of migrants caught crossing the border illegally are being released into the U.S. as they await their court dates,&#8221; Welker said. &#8220;Why do you deserve to keep your job, Mr. Secretary?&#8221;</p>
<p>Mayorkas did not answer the question and instead blamed Congress for the problem, even though the problem exploded the moment that Biden took office.</p>
<p>&#8220;But do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border, what the president himself has called a crisis?&#8221; Welker asked.</p>
<p>After previously refusing to call the situation a crisis, Mayorkas said now that it &#8220;certainly is a crisis,&#8221; but added: &#8220;we don&#8217;t bear responsibility for a broken system, and we&#8217;re doing a tremendous amount within that broken system. But, fundamentally, fundamentally, Congress is the only one who can fix that.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked, Mayorkas would also not acknowledge Biden&#8217;s recent admission that the U.S. border is not secure.</p>
