Top Republican lawmakers are calling on the Biden administration to change its immigration policies Friday after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was caught on leaked audio telling border agents the current crisis is “unsustainable.”

In the audio obtained by Fox News, Mayorkas told agents during a private meeting in Brownsville, Texas on Thursday the current situation “cannot continue” and that the system wasn’t designed to handle such high numbers of illegal immigrants.

“A couple of days ago I was down in Mexico, and I said, ‘Look, you know, if, if our borders are the first line of defense, we’re going to lose and this is unsustainable,’” Mayorkas said during the meeting.

“We can’t continue like this, our people in the field can’t continue and our system isn’t built for it.”

Mayorkas says border crisis ‘unsustainable’ and ‘we’re going to lose’ in leaked audio:

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas met privately with Border Patrol agents in Texas and said in leaked audio that the border crisis is “unsustainable” and “we’re going to lose” if “borders are the first line of defense.”

“A couple of days ago I was down in Mexico, and I said look, you know, if, if our borders are the first line of defense, we’re going to lose and this is unsustainable,” Mayorkas said Thursday, according to the audio obtained by Fox News’ Bill Melugin through a Border Patrol source. “We can’t continue like this, our people in the field cant continue and our system isn’t built for it.”

Mayorkas told the agents that the current border situation “cannot continue.” He said the federal government’s system was not designed to handle such an influx of migrants as the U.S. has seen in recent months and he was “very well” aware that the sector recently came close to “breaking.”
