The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas dodged a question from NBC host Kristen Welker Sunday over whether he agreed with President Joe Biden that the southern border was “not secure.”

Mayorkas appeared on “Meet the Press” to discuss the ongoing southern border crisis and his views on the system. Welker questioned the DHS secretary about whther he took “responsibility” for the issues at the border, noting Biden had called it a “crisis” himself. 

Mayorkas stated that while the border issue is a “crisis,” the department would not “bear reasonability” for the “broken system” and instead blamed Congress as the only branch who can “fix it.”
