Mayorkas: 'Impact of Climate Change,' 'Surging' U.S. Economy Are Some Reasons for High Number of Border Crossings

On Friday's broadcast of CNN's "Situation Room," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that "The impact of climate change, extreme weather events," is part of the reason for the large number of migrants crossing the border, and that "we have to take into account the fact that America's economy is surging. We are seeing us emerge from the pandemic in a way that other countries south of our border are not."
