It comes as no surprise that the Biden administration is opposed to this sham impeachment. The Biden administration has done everything in its power to uphold the law and have an orderly, humane approach to border security. I include in…

I want to push back. What is happening here is not political theater, as my friends on the other side of the aisle wish to make this. The Democrats have sought to blame Republicans, saying that our inaction has helped cause this border…

My Republican colleagues are starving DHS of necessary border security resources while accusing Secretary Mayorkas of not doing his job. House Republicans refuse to consider the White House's $13.6 billion border supplemental funding…

The statements from the other side this afternoon have misrepresented the facts and the laws of this baseless, sham impeachment. This extreme MAGA Republican majority is more about stunts rather than solutions. This political stunt is…

The definition of ``operational control'' in the Secure Fence Act of 2006 has never been achieved under any administration, including the Trump administration. This is not grounds for impeachment. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the…

With no input on behalf of the House of Representatives, we are now supposed to adopt that bill before it even passes the Senate. I want to give you a number, Mr. Speaker. That number is 370,000. That is the number of immigrants who came…

Republicans say this impeachment is not about policy disagreements, but every argument they make is about policies. Secretary Mayorkas has taken action to secure the border, but he has used different, more humane policies that are not…

Former Department of Homeland Security officials recognize that this impeachment is baseless and has the potential to distract from the ``actual business of legislating.'' A divisive impeachment is far from a constructive solution. I…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 214, nays 216, not voting 1, as follows: [Roll No. 37]…

Though she sits on the Homeland Security Committee, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has raised doubts about 9/11 to the false assertion that 9/11 was done by our own government. She said that is all true. She also thinks Jewish space…

Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green denied Secretary Mayorkas the ability to testify during the committee's sham impeachment ``investigation.'' Secretary Mayorkas, however, wrote the Chairman to set the record straight. I…

I remind my colleagues that they voted to terminate the COVID-19 national emergency and thus voted to end title 42. In addition, DHS has no role in ending this policy. Madam Speaker, I now yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Rhode…

90 percent of fentanyl seized is interdicted at ports of entry, mostly in passenger vehicles driven by U.S. citizens and lawful residents, not migrants. If we invest in our ports of entry instead of pursuing this sham impeachment, we can…

If my Republican colleagues were serious about the border, then they would drop this baseless impeachment and bring up the Senate's bipartisan border agreement for debate. Be that as it may, they aren't serious about reform. Speaker…

Despite what Republicans want us to believe, the courts at the highest level have not found that Secretary Mayorkas is violating the law. Courts are where we go to determine whether a Cabinet Secretary is following the law Congress wrote…

The Republicans highlight the Secretary's enforcement guidelines as an example of breaking the law. They fail to mention that the conservative Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals said: ``The guidance does not necessarily violate a single word…

Before coming to Congress, I spent 8 years as a sheriff in my home county and 42 years as a law enforcement officer. If I hadn't done my job as a sheriff, I would have been fired and removed from office. Mr. Speaker, Secretary Mayorkas has…

Republicans ignore the fact that no administration has ever had the resources to detain all border crossers. President Trump released over 500,000 people without ever detaining any of them. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman…
