They Are All Delusional: Mayorkas Gives Speech Applauding Biden Admin's Border Management

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently praised the US Border Patrol agents during his speech at the League of United Latin American Citizens conference on Wednesday.

Mayorkas acknowledged the hard work and sacrifices made by the agents, stating that they "make up an extraordinary workforce – individuals who risk their lives every day to secure the border."

During a conversation with LULAC National President Domingo Garcia after his keynote address, Mayorkas recounted his experience visiting the border during the summer of 2014, when there was a significant increase in unaccompanied children crossing the border. He praised the Border Patrol agents who were providing much-needed supplies for the children out of their own pockets, including blankets, diapers, and toys. Mayorkas commended the agents for their selflessness, saying, "These are parents in their own right, and I want to commend the Border Patrol."

Garcia asked Mayorkas about what the Department of Homeland Security was doing to improve humanitarian care at the border, especially after images of migrant children sleeping on Border Patrol facility floors in silver mylar blankets circulated in the media. Mayorkas defended the agency, stating that "The Border Patrol station is no place for a child," and explained that the mylar blankets provide warmth while preventing insect infestations that could harm the children's health.
