Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H. Res. 863, the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas. Mr. Speaker, Montana is about the same size as from here to Chicago plus 2 miles. It is a long, long border. The few border people we have generally are deployed down south. My friend and the gentleman from New York said: What evidence do we offer? What evidence of negligence? What evidence of wrongdoing? I would say it is pretty easy to find. It is found in every street, every city, every county, every State across this Nation. The evidence is found in every fentanyl pill and death. The evidence is found in every woman that is raped along our border. The evidence is found in every child-trafficking case that is in every city, to include Billings, Missoula, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. It is found in every evidence of children being sex trafficked, and I could go on. The evidence of negligence is the willful blindness to the horror that we have on our southern border. Our northern border, while not discussed a lot, is wide open, because this country doesn't have a border. In Montana, this administration can't even prevent a balloon. So the evidence is clear, compelling, and not in dispute. The lack of action, willful blindness, and willingness to do nothing is deserving of no less than impeachment.
