This statement by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is so ridiculous, you just have to laugh.

'The border is closed, the border is secure'.

All you have to do is watch even left wing news, or read, even left wing newspapers, and you can see that this statement is blatantly false!

This is from The Washington Post yesterday: Along with the existing struggle to combat the coronavirus, immigration has emerged as one of the administration’s most urgent challenges — seized on by Republicans as a political cudgel, posing risks to Democrats in the 2022 midterms and potentially undermining Biden’s governing agenda. The issue also threatens to overshadow the president’s recent political victories in passing a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package and making rapid strides in vaccination efforts. The situation at the border — which Biden and his advisers steadfastly refuse to call a crisis — is the result of an administration that was forewarned of the coming surge, yet still ill-prepared and lacking the capacity to deal with it. Administration officials have been plagued by muddled messaging, sometimes making appeals that seem directed more at liberal activists than the migrants they need to dissuade from coming to the country.

Yet the Biden Administration thinks they are going to 'gaslight' everyone on this issue.
