Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress on Thursday that the Trump administration is responsible for the growing number of unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors on the southwest U.S. border.
“We began our work with systems and tools that the prior administration had dismantled and with assistance programs that had been torn down or cut short,” Mayorkas said during a House Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing.
Mayorkas said the former administration had dismantled facilities used to temporarily hold migrant children and programs that supported legal immigration and said it ended the Central America Miners Program that provided a legal pathway for children to enter the U.S.
The Trump administration “did nothing to facilitate addressing of the surge. What they did was they dismantled the tools that we had to address it. And they tore down the programs that could have helped alleviate the pressure,” Mayorkas said.
The administration has made this argument before, which has resulted in critics saying President Biden signaled the U.S. would, after he took office, open up its borders more than that his administration should have been prepared to the seasonal border surge, especially after the pandemic.
He also said the surge of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children started in April 2020.
Encounters at the border with unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors hit an all-time high in March, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountering 18,960 minors in March. However, that number has decreased in April to 17,171 minors.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
