WATCH: Biden DHS Sec Bravely … Runs Away When Confronted Over Border He Never Secured

Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made it clear on Friday that he had absolutely zero interest in discussing the recently-secured state of the United States-Mexico border.

Mayorkas, when confronted at an airport by The Blaze national correspondent Julio Rosas, made every effort instead to beat a hasty retreat rather than answer questions about the fact that the border — which was open by design during his tenure as part of President Joe Biden’s administration — has been largely secured since the day President Donald Trump returned to the White House.

Mayorkas seemed approachable enough at first, saying it was “a pleasure” and offering a hand to shake as Rosas introduced himself and stated that he was with Blaze media.

“I just wanted to ask you how it feels to see —” Rosas had not even gotten his first question out before Mayorkas waved him off, saying, “Not right now.”

“— that the United States has a secure border now that President Trump is in office, as opposed to when you were Secretary of Homeland Security,” Rosas finished, and Mayorkas kept walking.

Mayorkas kept his mouth shut as Rosas followed up by asking whether he had “any regrets” with regard to allowing the border to remain open, especially given the new data that says under Trump’s DHS, “border crossings are down 95%.”

“Do you regret allowing Tren de Aragua to gain a foothold in the United States?” Rosas asked, but again, Mayorkas remained silent. “Do you have anything to say, sir, about your time as Homeland Security Secretary? facilitating an open border?”

The former DHS chief boarded an escalator, but Rosas met him at the bottom with another question: “I mean, it was a big issue, sir, that’s one of the reasons why President Trump won re-election. You don’t have anything to say about it?”

Rosas went on to ask whether Mayorkas had regrets about the thousands of migrant children the Biden administration had “lost track of” after they came into the United States — and whether he had anything to say about the fact that lax policies under his tenure had actually helped to increase widespread support for the mass deportations Trump promised and had already begun to deliver.

Mayorkas still said nothing, and exited the airport.
