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

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

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

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."

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

This impeachment hearing just distracts from the important work that DHS is doing to secure the border.

House Republicans have refused to consider this request. Instead of pursuing solutions to these problems, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are chasing an illegitimate impeachment and using tragedy to score political points.

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

I just heard a committee Member say, and I quote, "They are not prepared to be assimilated," talking about immigrants.

There is no Constitutional basis for impeaching Secretary Mayorkas.

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.
