Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said this weekend that he disagrees with criticism from Democrats that the Biden Administration has failed regarding border crisis.
On Thursday, footage from Brownsville displayed a sizable group of male asylum seekers, freshly arrived in the U.S., receiving bags from federal workers.
"This bill secures the border from President Biden's record, crossings, record carelessness, and record chaos," said Speaker McCarthy. "We identified the problem. Rather than ignoring it, we listened to the American people. And then we took action."
The Biden administration is to begin denying asylum to those at the southern border who have not first applied online or sought asylum in a country they passed through.
