Former Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas<\/a> appeared to admit that the Biden administration could have and should have enacted more border security measures sooner.<\/p>\n

In an interview at the Politico Security Summit<\/a> on Tuesday, Mayorkas was asked about border policies under former President Joe Biden, which became a significant issue ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Mayorkas remarked that, despite some “areas of disagreement,” he was largely satisfied with his work under Biden.<\/p>\n

“I was very pleased that in June of 2024, we took executive action that, I thought, made reforms that were sensible and that proved successful,” Mayorkas said.<\/p>\n

When asked whether he believed Biden acting sooner on border reform could have prevented President Donald Trump from being elected, Mayorkas was less direct but acknowledged that he would be “better rested” if Biden did.<\/p>\n

“I am not in a position to speculate, but I will tell you that I would be far more better rested and less punched,” Mayorkas remarked.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Biden’s office for comment.<\/p>\n

Mayorkas faced the ire of Republicans throughout his tenure after repeatedly claiming that the border was “secure” despite record numbers of illegal border crossings under the Biden administration. More than 7 million people<\/a> reportedly crossed the border into the U.S. under Biden.<\/p>\n

Despite this backlash, Mayorkas touted the “tougher” border stance Biden took in June 2024 as a successful and “humanitarian” response.<\/p>\n

“Our tougher border stance in June of \u201824 was coupled with an increased focus on providing lawful pathways for people to arrive at the United States outside the hands of smugglers \u2014 more secure and more humanitarian. Those two combined \u2014 our numbers dropped 70, 75 percent,” Mayorkas told Politico.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Mayorkas blamed Congress for Biden failing to act<\/a> on the border until five months before the presidential election, claiming they would have acted sooner if they knew “irresponsible politics” would prevent congressional action.<\/p>\n

“Looking back now in hindsight, in 2020, if we had known that irresponsible politics would have killed what was clearly a meritorious effort and a meritorious result, perhaps we would have taken executive action more rapidly,” Mayorkas said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
