Under questioning from Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified today that the Biden administration’s border security plan “is working.”

After noting that Mayorkas testified earlier in July that the Biden administration was implementing a plan to get the border under control, Hawley asked Mayorkas, “Since that time, CBP has released data that showed two straight months of illegal border encounters above 200,000, which, as you know, hasn’t happened in decades. My question is, ‘When is your plan going to work?’”
