“I would like to address something that happened in this Chamber earlier this week, something that we haven't done or seen in over a century in this country, and that is the impeachment of a Cabinet member. Impeached was Secretary Mayorkas, Homeland Security, for ignoring his duties, and by ignoring his duties, creating a situation which I think is the biggest crisis in this country in my lifetime. That, of course, concerns his inability to address the huge problems at the border. I will remind the American public that only 4 years ago during the final year of the prior administration, the number of people being let in this country at the southern border bounced back and forth between about 6,000 and 25,000. A good estimate of the number of people who came here in the last month is 37,000, so it has gone up by a factor of about 18 to 1. Not only have this many people crossed the border--think about that. I guessed 37,000. In addition to this many people crossing the border-- because around the world, it is known the United States is not enforcing our border--we have people dying in the Pacific Ocean trying to get around the wall over there. We have people dehydrating in the Arizona desert. We have people drowning in the Rio Grande, all horrific instances in and of themselves, because of the inability to address people coming across our border.…”
