Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 6, 2024
Secretary Mayorkas swore an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Unfortunately, it seems as though he hasn't defended it from a single one. Since President Biden took office, there have been more than 7 million illegal encounters at our southern border and more than 1.7 million known got-aways. Not once has Secretary Mayorkas issued a statement, signed a policy, or taken action to discourage this from happening. In fact, he has doubled down and encouraged the invasion by endorsing catch and release policies, ending title 42, and stopping remain in Mexico. This subversion of our Constitution, willful disregard of our country's laws, and unfettered dedication to exacerbating the self- inflicted crisis have left the House with no other option than to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. Madam Speaker, I urge the House to join me in voting to impeach Secretary Mayorkas and I urge the Senate to remove him from his position.
