I guess it's just some bonus content.

Related: Biden's Open Borders Czar -- DHS Secretary Alexandro Mayorkas -- at long last admits that maybe they should have enforced the border slightly more than not at all.

President Joe Biden's Homeland Security chief acknowledged Tuesday that the U.S. should have acted sooner to tighten immigration controls at the U.S. border with Mexico.

In an interview at the POLITICO Security Summit, former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who became a lightning rod of Republican criticism for the Biden administration's alleged mishandling of a historic wave of migration to the United States, placed most of the blame on a "broken immigration system" that set a "low bar" for admission to the country for those with "credible fear of persecution."

Asked if earlier steps from the Biden administration on border security -- including raising the bar for migrants claiming "credible fear" of returning to their home country -- would have prevented President Donald Trump's return to the White House, Mayorkas replied: "I am not in a position to speculate, but I will tell you that I would be far more better rested and less punched."

Mayorkas, who was impeached by the House in 2024 on claims that he intentionally did not enforce U.S. immigration laws, also emphasized that the Biden administration did, eventually, act to address the migrant influx at the border.

"I was very pleased that in June of 2024, we took executive action that, I thought, made reforms that were sensible and that proved successful," Mayorkas said. "Our tougher border stance in June of '24 was coupled with an increased focus on providing lawful pathways for people to arrive at the United States outside the hands of smugglers -- more secure and more humanitarian. Those two combined -- our numbers dropped 70, 75 percent."

BTW, I couldn't remember his exact position. I thought he was DHS but decided that there's no way even Biden would appoint such an absolute zero to such a crucial position, so I wrote he was "Secretary of the Interior."

But then I checked. Nope, he's was SecDHS.
