House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) on Thursday accused Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of caring more about Mexico than his own country.

The congressman said it was “telling” that the secretary rejected calls to meet with the House committee to meet with Mexican officials instead. The comment comes after the committee sent multiple requests for Mayorkas to testify in front of the House, which had largely gone unanswered.
