Sec. Mayorkas: Fundamentally We Need Congress to Fix a Broken Immigration System

‘Fundamentally we need Congress to pass legislation that fixes what everyone agrees is a broken immigration system’

EXCERPT:

MAYORKAS: "So -- so, I have to say three things, Jose. First of all, you know, different countries have different laws. But importantly, you mentioned about the tragedy of people taking to the seas, a number of Haitians, having lost their lives at sea. That is exactly why we communicate time and time again, not just through my voice, but on social media, on outlets in the countries of origin, do not take the dangerous journey because what could happen is exactly what did happen last week, people lost their lives. But fundamentally, Jose you refer to things as ad hoc, fundamentally, we need Congress to pass legislation that fixes what everyone agrees is a broken immigration system."
