You won’t believe what they had to say…
In a lie that could only be believed by liberals, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently went on CNN and said that “the impact of climate change, extreme weather events,” was the reason illegals were crossing into America via US-Mexico border.
Mayorkas then said another reason for the increase in border crossings is because, “we have to take into account the fact that America’s economy is surging. We are seeing us emerge from the pandemic in a way that other countries south of our border are not.”
According to Breitbart, Mayorkas said, “There are a number of reasons. Most importantly, the countries of origin in the Northern Triangle, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador have suffered a tremendous downturn in their economies. There is extraordinary poverty, as well as violence. The impact of climate change, extreme weather events, the reason people are fleeing their homes is quite significant. And that is what we are seeing. I think at the very same time, we have to take into account the fact that America’s economy is surging. We are seeing us emerge from the pandemic in a way that other countries south of our border are not. And so, the attraction of the United States and the promise it brings at a time when there is so much suffering in other countries is a clear explanation of why we’re seeing that migration and the numbers that we are seeing.”
