Mayorkas Defends Border Policies Amid Criticism Over Security Lapses

Homeland Security Secretary rejects claims of inadequate vetting and links to terrorist smuggling networks.

Mayorkas denies reports of 400 migrants with ISIS ties entering the U.S., calling the information inaccurate.
He asserts that the safety and security of the American public is the highest priority.
Critics argue that current vetting processes are insufficient and fail to prevent criminals from entering the country.
Recent tragic incidents involving illegal immigrants have intensified scrutiny of border policies.
Mayorkas calls for increased funding to modernize ports of entry and expand law enforcement resources.
