‘They are lying to our face’: DHS Sec. Mayorkas goes full Baghdad Bob during interview on ‘Meet the Press’

 DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas boldly declared on “Meet the Press” this morning that the “border is closed”:

Never go full Baghdad Bob, guys:

This is what’s known as a lie:

But don’t take our word for it. Here’s ABC News this morning:

Maybe they should try “pretty please don’t come”?

Anyway, the message being heard right now is “send your kids alone” which is going to make the situation much, much worse:

Mayorkas also blamed former President Trump for what’s going on:

Nice try, but no. This is all on Joe Biden:

Flashback: They were warned this would happen, too:

And here’s the response from Trump:

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

We proudly handed the Biden Administration the most secure border in history. All they had to do was keep this smooth-running system on autopilot. Instead, in the span of a just few weeks, the Biden Administration has turned a national triumph into a national disaster. They are in way over their heads and taking on water fast.

The pathetic, clueless performance of Secretary Mayorkas on the Sunday Shows today was a national disgrace. His self-satisfied presentation—in the middle of the massive crisis he helped engineer—is yet more proof he is incapable of leading DHS. Even someone of Mayorkas’ limited abilities should understand that if you provide Catch-and-Release to the world’s illegal aliens then the whole world will come.

Furthermore, the Mayorkas Gag Order on our Nation’s heroic border agents and ICE officers should be the subject of an immediate congressional investigation. But it’s clear they are engaged in a huge cover-up to hide just how bad things truly are. The only way to end the Biden Border Crisis is for them to admit their total failure and adopt the profoundly effective, proven Trump policies.

They must immediately complete the wall, which can be done in a matter of weeks—they should never have stopped it. They are causing death and human tragedy. In addition to the obvious, drugs are pouring into our country at record levels from the Southern Border, not to mention human and sex trafficking. This Administration’s reckless policies are enabling and encouraging crimes against humanity. Our Country is being destroyed!
