This week, the House will send impeachment articles against Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate. By failing to follow the law and by failing to secure our borders, Secretary Mayorkas has put Pennsylvania families at risk and jeopardized our national security. Since Secretary Mayorkas was sworn into office, we have had 9 million encounters nationwide with illegal immigrants, 1.8 million known got- aways, and over 340 encounters with individuals who we know are on the terrorist watch list. This continued security and humanitarian crisis is the result of the open-border policies implemented by Secretary Mayorkas using his parole authority, which should only be used on a case-by-case basis to grant parole for millions of illegal immigrants, including entire nations and classes of people. By Mayorkas ending the remain in Mexico policy and returning to catch-and-release procedures, the Secretary has failed in his duty to protect the United States of America. It is time for the Senate to hold a full and complete trial. The American people deserve accountability for these reckless actions that have put all American citizens in harm's way. ____________________
