WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Carlos A. Giménez questioned witnesses in a full Homeland Security Committee hearing entitled Biden and Mayorkas’ Open Border: Advancing Cartel Crime in America to examine the reckless open-border policies put in place by the Biden Administration and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The Biden Administration’s failure to defend our Homeland has created a historic, humanitarian disaster at the border and poisoned thousands of Americans with deadly fentanyl. This national security crisis is the direct result of a DHS Secretary that has been derelict in his duties and given up operational control of our border with Mexico.
