Mayorkas: 'We will deliver consequences'

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (Border Report) -- Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas rounded out two days of touring the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas on Friday with a hardline message to migrants and smugglers not to head north, and a warning that U.S. asylum laws are soon changing with the end of Title 42.

"We will deliver consequences for individuals who arrive at our southern border irregularly," Mayorkas told media on the dirt border levee overlooking an abandoned golf course in Brownsville, Texas.

This area has been the site of 30,000 migrant apprehensions since April 16 and most are Venezuelans, according to RGV Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez. On Friday morning alone, the RGV Sector apprehended 2,300 asylum-seekers, most in Brownsville, Mayorkas said.
