Biden admits the border is not secure amid Mayorkas impeachment inquiry

President Joe Biden admitted to reporters on Friday that he doesn't believe the southern border is secure, while continuing to defend his policies. 

Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Biden if he believed the border was secure.

"No, it’s not," Biden answered, according to Fox News. "I haven’t believed it for the last 10 years. And I’ve said it for the last 10 years…give me the money."

The correspondent also asked Biden if he believed that Republicans' attempt to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was unconstitutional. He appeared confused by the question, according to the outlet. 

All Republican members of the House Homeland Security Committee endorsed impeachment of Mayorkas earlier this week. 

When Biden was asked if he believed his policies were partially to blame for the chaos at the border, Biden said they weren't. 

"No, I’ve…I’ve asked for thousands more, of everything – from judges to…anyway," Biden said.

The Homeland Security Department revealed last month that the backlog of illegal aliens inside the U.S. has nearly doubled under Biden to over six million while arrests of suspected terrorists and violent offenders have also exploded.

President Biden's comments contradict repeated claims by top members of his administration that the southern border is secure.
