immigration-migration enforcement measure. the decision on when to lift title 42 was made by the cdc >> reporter: but even before the announcement was made, pastor albert rivera, who runs the migrant shelter, was already building an expansion to eventually house 1,200 asylum seekers. >> some of them have been waiting a year and a half for a permit just to come to the border here because they want to apply, do it legally. >> reporter: seeking asylum in the u.s. is a legal right, but with ports of entry not processing most asylum seekers due to title 42, some say they have no option but to cross illegally to try to make their claim. norah. >> manny bojorquez on the border, thank you. to talk more about the crisis, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas joins us for an exclusive interview. mr. secretary, thank you so much. when title 42 is lifted, it could mean up to 18,000 more migrants every day. this will become an even bigger
3:13 am
crisis. how is the department preparing to deal with it? >> it's very difficult to predict what that migration will be, but we are planning for different scenarios. we are then at the border, surging resources. what distinguishes us from the past is the fact that we will not implement policies of cruelty that disregard our asylum laws. we are rebuilding a system that was entirely dismantled. >> but you acknowledge you're likely going to see a surge? >> we very well could, and our job is to be prepared to address it. >> ukrainians can be exempt from title 42. how do you respond to critics who say, "this is discriminatory against those from central america?" >> so what we do on an individualized basis is evaluate whether a ukrainian family and, frankly, other families, from other countries, qualify for our discretionary authority of granting humanitarian parole.
3:14 am
and that's not specific to just ukrainians. we apply that across the board. >> but is there a double standard here? >> there is not. >> do you have a number of how many ukrainians have come through thus far? >> i don't have a number, but i believe we had close to 3,000 last week. >> we just heard from manuel bojorquez at the border. he also met roxana ruiz ramierez from honduras. she's been waiting for nine months to claim asylum, and that gang threats have put her life at risk, too. what do you say to migrants like roxana? >> what we say is, do not take the dangerous journey. we are building an asylum system that has been dismantled. we are providing alternative pathways to seek relief under the laws of the united states. >> i want to ask you about u.s. cybersecurity. what targets is russia considering in terms of a cyberattack?
3:15 am
>> what we focus upon, of course, is our critical infrastructure, because that is where the damage can be inflicted and really impact our day-to-day lives. >> banking? >> banking. our energy system. >> have they attempted an attack? >> they have not attacked our critical infrastructure in retaliation to the sanctions we've imposed arising from the russia-ukraine crisis. but we are on alert, and we are on alert together. >> are you confident that america could defend against any russian cyberattack? >> we are preparing for an attack. we are poised to respond to any attack, should it materialize. >> well, secretary mayorkas, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you, norah. and we want to turn now to a cbs news investigation by catherine herridge, who spoke with a top republican senator who, for years, has been investigating the business dealings of the president's
3:16 am
brother and son. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that more than 150 transactions involving either hunter or james biden's global business affairs were flagged as concerning by u.s. banks for further review. some of those concerns included large wire transfers. after nearly a three-year investigation, republican senator chuck grassley told cbs news he believes the president's younger brother, james, was instrumental in hunter biden's chinese business ventures. >> i think james biden was very much a part of this. >> reporter: james biden has worked as an entrepreneur, and recently, in the healthcare industry. >> we will focus on james biden, the president's brother. >> reporter: this week, grassley released bank records indicating james biden's company, the lion hall group, was paid directly by a chinese-financed consulting firm. these records come directly from the banks, no third party. >> you're absolutely right. >> reporter: in our interview, grassley did not allege the
3:17 am
bidens broke the law, but he said it's concerning that both hunter and james biden were promised retainers for their china work totaling $165,000 a month in 2017, after joe biden left the vice presidency. >> we have people with the biden name dealing with chinese business people that have a relationship through the communist party. i think it's very concerning. >> reporter: this 2019 subpoena, verified by cbs news, shows federal investigators also sought hunter and james biden's business records from a major u.s. bank dating back to 2014 as part of a separate probe by the u.s. attorney in delaware, into possible violations of tax and foreign lobbying laws. >> i think hunter and james biden should not have entered into those relationships. in the best case, those things look really bad. in the worst case, the conflicts can be quite serious. >> reporter: the white house chief of staff said this week that the president is confident his family did the right thing, adding, these actions by hunter and james are private matters and don't involve the president. cbs news began outreach to james
