Sec. Mayorkas last week called the border a “very serious challenge” not unique to the U.S. and said he has no plans to resign McCarthy on Tuesday pointed to the record number of border encounters over the last two years, including more than 2.3 million in fiscal 2022, which ended in SeptemberThe increase in numbers is attributed partly to more repeat attempts at crossing the border after expulsion, partly to an increase in migration out of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua and partly to a perceived leniency under President Joe Biden.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican who represents much of the border, praised border patrol agents for their tough work in the region. The group of lawmakers met with CBP agents earlier Tuesday, they said. He also said he had not had any conversation within the administration about stepping down, and a DHS spokesperson confirmed to Spectrum News he has no plans to resign.
