At the same time as talks have progressed in the Senate, Mayorkas has become the target of a partisan impeachment effort in the House, with Republicans claiming that he has broken the law by not more forcefully stopping migrants from crossing illegally into the United States.
He was also careful when I asked him about the political repercussions of what many Americans, including many Democrats, now view as an immigration crisis. (Mayorkas will not use the word crisis. He says the system is broken.) And he would not talk about Biden-administration missteps. But immigration, of course, is not just an issue on Capitol Hill. Undocumented migrants are sleeping on streets across the country, city resources are overwhelmed and the border has become a major concern for voters in an already volatile presidential election year.
