Mayorkas to Reporter Asking About Action on Border: 'What Executive Action Are You Suggesting That We Take'?

During a portion of an interview with NBC News aired on Monday's "NBC Nightly News," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responded to a question on why President Joe Biden hasn't taken executive action on the border by saying, "What executive action are you suggesting that we take that we haven't taken that would survive court scrutiny?" Mayorkas also stated that the U.S. has "been working with" China to take Chinese migrants deported by the U.S. and he is "hopeful" that China's refusal to take these individuals will change.
