Who planted or created the device remains at this time unknown. In the meantime, the Biden administration is struggling even more than usual as it faces post-Title 42 migrant waves arriving and Fox News reports that the Department of Homeland Security is forcing border officials to work over the weekend in an effort to cope.
Republicans have passed the Secure the Border Act of 2023 in the House to try to offer a legislative means to deal with the immense problem. However, its chances in the Democratic-controlled Senate of passing are small and the White House threatened to veto the measure. Republican frustration over the lack of security on the border boiled over into rumors that they will try to impeach Biden's Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, for dereliction of duty.
