Mayorkas says the migrant surge isn't the result of early Biden moves: 'People leave their homes because of the conditions under which they suffer'

• Alejandro Mayorkas in a recent interview said the migrant surge isn't because of early Biden moves.
• "I think that people leave their homes because of the conditions under which they suffer," he told the Times.
• House Republicans, who've long clashed with Mayorkas, are pushing to impeach him from his position.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in a recent interview rejected the notion that President Joe Biden's early immigration moves caused a surge in migrants at the US-Mexico border.
