We do not need more laws. We need a President of the United States and a Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security who enforce the laws of this country.

This isn't a policy difference. This is a matter of following the laws written by Congress and thus a matter of Constitutional significance.

I believe that Secretary Mayorkas has lied to Congress.

Secretary Mayorkas is carrying out his duties faithfully.

rule XI does not mention anything about having a Minority witness at any given hearing.

Mr. Chairman, what other conclusion can the American people draw but that House Republicans don't actually want to fix the problems on our Southern Border?

My bill, the Alabama Underwater Forest National Marine Sanctuary and Protection Act, is an important measure to safeguard Alabama's ancient underwater cypress forest.

This is about scoring political points. You want to make this administration look weak on the border.

We need solutions, legislation, not impeachments of the Secretary and certainly not impeachments of President Biden.

Republicans may not like the Biden administration's policies, but policy differences are not grounds for impeachment under the Constitution.

Senate Republicans and Democrats are working together, in a bipartisan manner and with the direct involvement of Secretary Mayorkas, to try to fix the issues raised here today.

As Professor Pearlstein has explained today, there is no Constitutional basis for impeaching Secretary Mayorkas.

Democrats want to strengthen border security. We want to keep fentanyl off our streets.

These problems are not new. They will require serious policy making, not an impeachment vote that will do nothing but undermine our Constitutional system.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Congressman Huffman, for your support on this bill. That really means a lot to us.

I never stopped, slowed down, or prevented my officers from enforcing the law. I swore an oath to protect the citizens of my community.

There is no basis for impeaching Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, for the number of fentanyl deaths in the United States, he is neither a drug lord, nor trafficker of uncontrolled substances.

I believe that Secretary Mayorkas has willfully failed to enforce the law.
