Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise to call out the hypocrisy and extreme political stunts Republicans are displaying with this baseless and unconstitutional impeachment against the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas. Instead of seeking bipartisan solutions, they voted to cut border security funding. Let me repeat that: cut border security funding. They are now bringing an impeachment that lacks basis in law just to pull another one of their political stunts. Secretary Mayorkas has dedicated his career to public service and our country. During his time in the Department, he led the development and implementation of DACA and led the Department's successful response to Ebola and Zika outbreaks. He has worked tirelessly on combating human trafficking and developed an emergency relief program for orphaned youth following the tragic January 10 earthquake in Haiti. Secretary Mayorkas has done the work he was tasked to do by the President and more. Stop wasting time on yet another extreme political farce. Start working with Democrats for a bipartisan, real solution.”
