The Texas Border Coalition is throwing its support behind the nomination of Alejandro Mayorkas as the new secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
In a letter to President-elect Joe Biden, TBC Chairman Eddie Trevino writes that Mayorkas is already well aware of the challenges facing the border region. The coalition’s letter adds his previous experience makes him knowledgeable about the impact border security and immigration policies have on communities in the Valley.
The letter also states Mayorkas’ leadership will be critical to implementing policies that reflect the country’s highest values.
