"Mayorkas Criticizes Texas Gov. Abbott's Call for Biden to Use Executive Authority on Border"

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas criticized Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for suggesting President Biden use executive authority to address the southern border, emphasizing the need for Congress to act on immigration reform. Mayorkas accused Abbott of refusing to collaborate with the Biden administration and criticized his role in busing migrants to Democratic-led cities. The Biden administration is considering executive action to restrict migrants' ability to seek asylum at the US-Mexico border, and Mayorkas defended Biden's recent visit to the border, emphasizing the need for bipartisan solutions. Additionally, Mayorkas faced questions about his impeachment by the US House but declined to comment on the Senate's handling of the charges.
