The statement 'Cut the nonsense & seal the border. This is downright embarrassing, @SecMayorkas.' is a response to a tweet by @DHSgov about protecting the planet through resilience and adaptation in relation to climate change. The statement appears to criticize the focus on climate change, suggesting instead that attention should be directed towards border security issues. It uses a confrontational tone and directly addresses a public figure, which indicates it is engaging in public discourse.
