Both Republican Senators from Texas are locking horns with the Homeland Security chief. Speaking at a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended his record despite a surge in illegal border crossings. Senator John Cornyn told Mayorkas he has a "credibility problem" with the American people as drugs and a record number of illegals continue to cross. Senator Ted Cruz demanded Mayorkas's resignation.
