TUCSON, Ariz. — U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas visited Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson Wednesday, touting new numbers that suggest President Biden’s new executive action is boosting border security.
Mayorkas says apprehensions have plunged more than 40% across the southern border in the past three weeks, and are down more than 45% in the Tucson Sector.Mayorkas cited other measures of border security progress during that time, including more than 100 repatriation flights to more than 20 countries and more than 24,000 people removed from the U.S.
But critics on both sides of the immigration issue believe the new policy is either too harsh for asylum seekers, or is too little, too late in addressing the border crisis.
