‘Not … Really Working’: ‘Morning Joe’ Host Presses Alejandro Mayorkas About Dangerous Migrants Entering US

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski on Wednesday questioned Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about reporting of potentially dangerous migrants illegally crossing the southern border into the U.S.

President Joe Biden recently signed an executive order that seeks to limit the number of daily asylum seekers at the border, but these migrants have been reportedly been released in the U.S while their claims are pending and ISIS-linkedmigrants have reportedly also entered the country. Brzezinski on “Morning Joe” asked Mayorkas about NBC’s reporting, suggesting Biden’s executive order is not working as it is not stopping many migrants coming to the country in “the way they shouldn’t.”

“The two issues here I want to ask you about, the first is NBC News reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has identified over 400 immigrants who have come to the U.S. from central Asia and elsewhere as subjects of concern and some even affiliated potentially with an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network,” Brzezinski said. “That’s number one, and then number two, reporting from NBC News that the administration is still releasing illegal crossers inside the U.S. to live while they pursue asylum claims, that it’s not officially really working and … there’s still a lot of folks coming through here the way they shouldn’t.”
