Last week during a Committee on Homeland Security hearing, Secretary Mayorkas testified, and he stated on numerous occasions that our border is secure. Even as encounters of migrants reached historic levels and the amount of narcotics being smuggled across our border soar, Secretary Mayorkas and the Biden administration refuse to admit there is a problem. The border crisis is fueled by the President's actions, such as his decision to stop building the wall; his decision to cancel successful Trump immigration policies; and his decision to signal that amnesty will be provided to those who come here illegally. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell had a policy known as the Pottery Barn rule, which was, in short, ``You break it, you own it.'' The Biden administration has created this crisis, and now it is time for the President to own the consequences of his actions. ____________________
