Homeland Security Chief And Texas Border Fences

The head of Homeland Security says they are following through with an order from Congress to build more border walls in Texas. But Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress this week that his department’s latest budget does not contain funding for more fencing. Instead, there is a focus on investing in technology, especially at the ports of entry, where more than 90 percent of all drugs are seized. The wall, he says, does not stop illegal immigration.
