Mayorkas's Failures

Mayorkas's Failures: On December 22, 2024, during an interview on “Face the Nation,” Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, dismissed the trafficking of children at the border as "outside the responsibility of DHS." This stunning remark followed a scathing Inspector General's report that exposed systemic failures and the federal government’s inability to account for 300,000 missing migrant children. The report underscores a breakdown that extends beyond DHS to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), both of which report directly to President Biden and Vice President Harris. This is not just a bureaucratic failure -- it is a collapse of leadership at the highest level.
