Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) became the first GOP senator to suggest that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas resign in the midst of a surge of illegal border-crossers.

“It is clear to me the Biden Administration has lost control of the border. Under its current leadership, it doesn’t have either the will or capability to fix the problem,“ Graham said in a statement Thursday. “It is time for DHS Secretary Mayorkas to change course or change jobs.”
