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?

it is a simple request. It is in the rules, and we just want the rules to be followed.

What other conclusion can the American people draw but that House Republicans don't actually want to fix the problem on our Southern Border?

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

Secretary Mayorkas has not committed 'Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors'--the United States Constitution's standard; for an impeachment.

While the do-nothing extreme MAGA Republican majority wastes the time of the Committee on Homeland Security with a phony, baseless impeachment ``investigation,'' they occupy the House floor with a symbolic resolution equally as false. Put…

There is no Constitutional basis for impeaching Secretary Mayorkas.

Unfortunately, Republicans are willing to damage the Constitution they claim to hold dear because they think it will benefit them politically.

And that's really what this impeachment sham is all about. A political game to make it seem like the do-nothing Republican caucus achieved something while attacking the Biden administration.

H.R. 2, you talk about it in every response. What is your alternative to H.R. 2?

Secretary Mayorkas is carrying out his duties faithfully.

Both undocumented and documented immigrants are much less likely to commit crimes or be incarcerated than native-born American citizens.

I call your attention to House rules that you have referenced my comments, that they were despicable. That is against House rules.

Democrats will continue to keep our focus throughout this sham impeachment on what our obligations are under the Constitution.

Months ago, Chairman Green promised donors at a campaign event that he would bring an impeachment case against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

House Republicans are pursuing a partisan impeachment effort that will achieve nothing.

I guarantee you House Democrats will do our best to work with you. But until then, we will continue to call out this do-nothing approach.

It is clear from my earlier parliamentary inquiries that the Chairman has not established any due process or procedure for this sham of an impeachment.

Impeaching Secretary Mayorkas will do nothing to prevent other families from suffering similar tragedies. If only it were that simple.

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.

Again, this isn't a real impeachment, it's a pre-determined, pre-planned, partisan political stunt.

Secretary Mayorkas is a public servant charged with enforcing the laws of the United States, which include drug interdiction at borders.

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.

It's the American people that are paying the price of Republican inaction.

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