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

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

Donald Trump, as always, has said the quiet part out loud when he said immigrants, and I quote, "are poisoning the blood of our country."

We can't have a conversation with a Presidential candidate, a former President, who thinks immigrants are poisoning the blood of our Nation.

There is no Constitutional basis for impeaching Secretary Mayorkas.

Just as we've said all along, the outcome of Republicans' so-called impeachment 'investigation' has been predetermined from the start.

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

Before we begin today's hearing, I want to address misinformation my Republican colleagues are spreading, falsely alleging that Secretary Mayorkas is refusing to testify before this committee.

It's far easier to demand impeachment. Instead of engaging in a good-faith effort to improve homeland security, House Republicans are more interested in giving interviews to FOX News.

One of the tenets of who we are as a democracy is that I have an opinion and you have an opinion, and let's respect that.

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