DHS Secretary Mayorkas: Children Will Be Exempt from Asylum Ban

CAVUTO Nevertheless you re ░░░░░░░░ the one thing you ░░░░░░░░ President Trump for doing ░░░░░░░░ he was in office ░░░░░░░░ want to take you ░░░░░░░░ to October 2020 sir ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden was saying ░░░░░░░░ about the president s ░░░░░░░░ at the time President ░░░░░░░░ s move at the ░░░░░░░░ to deal with these ░░░░░░░░ cases This is from ░░░░░░░░ boss Clip starts Biden ░░░░░░░░ is the first president ░░░░░░░░ the history of the ░░░░░░░░ States of America that ░░░░░░░░ anybody seeking asylum has ░░░░░░░░ do it in another ░░░░░░░░ That s never happened ░░░░░░░░ in America That s ░░░░░░░░ happened before in America ░░░░░░░░ come to the United ░░░░░░░░ and you make your ░░░░░░░░ that I seek asylum ░░░░░░░░ on the following on ░░░░░░░░ following premise why I ░░░░░░░░ it under American law ░░░░░░░░ ends CAVUTO And now ░░░░░░░░ s doing what Donald ░░░░░░░░ did Mayorkas Not true ░░░░░░░░ And President Biden spoke ░░░░░░░░ in the clip you ░░░░░░░░ you just showed President ░░░░░░░░ shut down asylum altogether ░░░░░░░░ we are doing is ░░░░░░░░ out the smugglers and ░░░░░░░░ irregular migration in between ░░░░░░░░ ports of entry where ░░░░░░░░ s so very dangerous ░░░░░░░░ the crossings are illegal ░░░░░░░░ are allowing asylum claimants ░░░░░░░░ come to the ports ░░░░░░░░ entry using our CBP ░░░░░░░░ app in a lawful ░░░░░░░░ and orderly way We ░░░░░░░░ have built other lawful ░░░░░░░░ for individuals to seek ░░░░░░░░ in this country So ░░░░░░░░ haven t shut down ░░░░░░░░ What we ve done ░░░░░░░░ further strengthen the border ░░░░░░░░ executive action which can ░░░░░░░░ challenged and will be ░░░░░░░░ in the courts which ░░░░░░░░ why we need Congress ░░░░░░░░ act That is the ░░░░░░░░ solution CAVUTO All right ░░░░░░░░ might be but the ░░░░░░░░ is not pleased with ░░░░░░░░ asylum action said that ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration just announced ░░░░░░░░ executive order that will ░░░░░░░░ restrict people s legal ░░░░░░░░ to keep asylum putting ░░░░░░░░ of thousands of lives ░░░░░░░░ risk This action takes ░░░░░░░░ same approach as the ░░░░░░░░ Administration s asylum ban ░░░░░░░░ will be challenging this ░░░░░░░░ in court Yet in ░░░░░░░░ defense of it sir ░░░░░░░░ I heard you correctly ░░░░░░░░ were saying that there ░░░░░░░░ ways around that and ░░░░░░░░ the CBP where a ░░░░░░░░ of people are sort ░░░░░░░░ processed and then released ░░░░░░░░ re not really going ░░░░░░░░ be that strict on ░░░░░░░░ asylum thing So the ░░░░░░░░ really has nothing to ░░░░░░░░ about Mayorkas Neil I ░░░░░░░░ with the ACLU s ░░░░░░░░ and I should say ░░░░░░░░ when we when people ░░░░░░░░ the CBP One app ░░░░░░░░ come to the port ░░░░░░░░ entry they have been ░░░░░░░░ and vetted before they ░░░░░░░░ at the port of ░░░░░░░░ further advancing our security ░░░░░░░░ the southern border CAVUTO ░░░░░░░░ so the way this ░░░░░░░░ is that you get ░░░░░░░░ 2 500 which right ░░░░░░░░ if this went into ░░░░░░░░ like right now it ░░░░░░░░ instead of just midnight ░░░░░░░░ you re already dealing ░░░░░░░░ that Then what happens ░░░░░░░░ you get below that ░░░░░░░░ how long does that ░░░░░░░░ in Because some people ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ an on again off ░░░░░░░░ approach to dealing with ░░░░░░░░ mess at the border ░░░░░░░░ throngs are still going ░░░░░░░░ get in and working ░░░░░░░░ like clockwork Mayorkas Neil ░░░░░░░░ will in fact be ░░░░░░░░ in effect And then ░░░░░░░░ we experience seven consecutive ░░░░░░░░ days where the average ░░░░░░░░ of encounters each day ░░░░░░░░ below 1 500 then ░░░░░░░░ days after those that ░░░░░░░░ day we will reopen ░░░░░░░░ if in fact if ░░░░░░░░ fact the number of ░░░░░░░░ thereafter is 2 500 ░░░░░░░░ more on average for ░░░░░░░░ consecutive days we have ░░░░░░░░ authority to again implement ░░░░░░░░ bar which we would ░░░░░░░░ CAVUTO So the one ░░░░░░░░ I didn t understand ░░░░░░░░ there are a number ░░░░░░░░ exemptions for this including ░░░░░░░░ know unaccompanied children And ░░░░░░░░ t that a green ░░░░░░░░ for drug cartels to ░░░░░░░░ advantage of that And ░░░░░░░░ know the whole purpose ░░░░░░░░ this it sort of ░░░░░░░░ up in your face ░░░░░░░░ Oh absolutely absolutely not ░░░░░░░░ crosstalk CAVUTO But where ░░░░░░░░ s going to watch ░░░░░░░░ unaccompanied children If they ░░░░░░░░ allowed and you don ░░░░░░░░ ship them back you ░░░░░░░░ t do anything like ░░░░░░░░ so where do they ░░░░░░░░ Mayorkas Neil we deal ░░░░░░░░ unaccompanied children in a ░░░░░░░░ way adhering to our ░░░░░░░░ We deter irregular migration ░░░░░░░░ build lawful pathways crosstalk ░░░░░░░░ But this encourages drug ░░░░░░░░ to take advantage of ░░░░░░░░ kids does it not ░░░░░░░░ Mayorkas Neil we re ░░░░░░░░ it to the drug ░░░░░░░░ with unprecedented strength through ░░░░░░░░ Transnational Criminal Investigative Unit ░░░░░░░░ CAVUTO No no this ░░░░░░░░ actually a green light ░░░░░░░░ those cartels Isn t ░░░░░░░░ the fear that this ░░░░░░░░ actually a green light ░░░░░░░░ say oh we can ░░░░░░░░ these kids as pawns ░░░░░░░░ get what we want ░░░░░░░░ Neil let s be ░░░░░░░░ The cartels the smuggling ░░░░░░░░ are unscrupulous They exploit ░░░░░░░░ of all different types ░░░░░░░░ vulnerabilities We are taking ░░░░░░░░ to the cartels We ░░░░░░░░ unaccompanied children from this ░░░░░░░░ bar because of the ░░░░░░░░ humanitarian picture they present ░░░░░░░░ Alright let me get ░░░░░░░░ better Mayorkas We re ░░░░░░░░ to adhere to our ░░░░░░░░ CAVUTO Okay Mayorkas We ░░░░░░░░ going to adhere to ░░░░░░░░ values while we take ░░░░░░░░ enforcement measures which is ░░░░░░░░ we have done.”
