The Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas appeared on “CBS This Morning” last week to discuss his visit to the Southern border. He began by describing the burden placed on the president by the previous administration. The CBS host then questioned him on his decision to visit El Paso as opposed to the Rio Grande or Fort Bliss, where many unaccompanied minors are currently held.

Secretary Mayorkas deflected the question to the Center for Disease Control, claiming the issue was one of public health
