Mayorkas defends Biden not visiting border: 'The President knows the border very well'
Fox News
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed President Biden “knows the border very well” and refused to call the influx of illegal migrants a "crisis."
She was referring to a statement by four Democratic senators that panned the president's new border announcement as a continuation of "inhumane Trump-era policy" that would "further enrich human smuggling networks."
