Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Speaks with PBS News Hour

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Speaks with PBS News Hour. 

Here is a quote from the interview with Secretary Mayorkas:

[W]hat we are experiencing at the southern border is reflective of what the world is experiencing, the largest number of displaced people around the world since World War II, if not before then.

And so we mentioned the different nationalities of the individuals arriving at our border. That is what other countries across the Atlantic are   experiencing and around the world, number one.

Number two, the answer is exactly what the bipartisan group of senators presented to Congress. And that is legislation that provides for much-needed fixes to what everyone agrees is a broken system and much-needed resources to implement those fixes. Legislation is what is needed. That is what is enduring.

Executive actions in the past have been challenged in the court, and executive actions without the accompanying resources will not meet the moment.
