Sen. Mitt Romney tore into President Joe Biden’s head of homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas, for his indifference in answering lawmakers’ questions about resolving the worsening border crisis, calling the secretary’s attitude “extremely damning.”

“What I find astonishing, Mr. Chairman, is that we have the secretary responsible for securing our border and our immigration system who doesn’t recognize these charts as being a problem. And there are human beings behind these numbers. And [he] is not saying, ‘Hey, we’ve got to make some changes immediately.’ I find that extraordinary and extremely damning,” the Utah Republican said in a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing Thursday, pointing to border statistics on nearby poster boards.
