There is at least one person in the Biden administration who is willing to admit that what's happening at the border is a disaster, even if he didn't mean for people to hear it. Biden's DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a recently leaked piece of audio that the border crisis is "unsustainable." It's nice to hear someone finally say it.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in recent months. The Biden administration has done virtually nothing to stop it. Yet now that a political assassination has occurred in Haiti, and people in Cuba are protesting their Communist regime, Biden's DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is telling people from these countries not to come here.

Unwilling to take the necessary steps to secure our border and unable to handle the surge of migrants then-candidate Biden all but invited to come to the U.S. illegally, the Biden administration has apparently decided to simply release 400 illegal alien families per day into the U.S. As a point of reference, the total number of such released families earlier this year was 50 per day.

Joe Biden's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security is Alejandro Mayorkas, who held a lower position at DHS under Obama. While the media is swooning over this choice, they're leaving out an important part of Mayorkas's record. In 2013, Mayorkas was embroiled in a scandal that involved the alleged sale of a U.S. visa to a Chinese executive for the sake of Hillary Clinton's brother.

As we've covered here at LI, antifa violence in Portland, Oregon, and beyond long pre-dates the George Floyd protests that devolved into riots in cities across the country.  Yet the leftstream media would have us believe, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the antifa anarchists creating mayhem in Portland are peaceful protesters. We are seeing the most stunningly blatant and deeply bizarre gaslighting by both Portland mayor Ted Wheeler and the media about what has been going on in Portland.

Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner John Sanders resigned on Tuesday, which goes into effect on July 5, amid detention center controversies at the US southern border. President Donald Trump knew changes would come to the agency, but he tried to convince Sanders to stay on the job.
