Impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors
Floor Speech
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Ms. GREENE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H. Res. 863, impeaching Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Alejandro Mayorkas is guilty of aiding and abetting the complete invasion of our country by criminals, gang members, terrorists, murderers, rapists, and over 10 million people from over 160 countries into American communities all across the United States.
His willful refusal to secure the border has bankrupted communities, closed down U.S. schools that our children attend, drowned hospitals, and incapacitated law enforcement, while empowering criminal cartels and illegal aliens.
My Democrat colleagues argue that one cannot be impeached over policy differences. Well, I argue that breaking our laws is more than just policy differences. Mr. Speaker, 300 dead Americans every day from fentanyl poisoning is more than just a policy difference; it is murder.
Today, in my own office, narcotics law enforcement officers from Georgia told me that 7 out of 10 doses of Oxycontin or Percocet sold on the street are laced with fentanyl, and that comes directly across the border from Mexico.
Secretary Mayorkas has violated numerous provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act, including unlawfully directing DHS to mass-parole illegal aliens into the U.S. when Federal law specifically prohibits this, and unlawfully implementing catch and release policies when Federal law specifically mandates the detention and removal of inadmissible aliens.
In fact, detention facilities under Mayorkas have been mostly vacant because of such unlawful policies. The largest detention facility in California, which can house almost 2,000 illegals, is currently housing only 6 illegal aliens. He has violated his oath of office and breached the public trust by willfully refusing to ensure the laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the President are faithfully executed as required by Article II of the Constitution.
He has allowed over 10 million illegal border crossers to invade our country, approximately 2 million of whom are known got-aways. These are people who have completely evaded U.S. authorities and are roaming the interior of American communities, assaulting, raping, and murdering Americans. God help us if we have a terrorist attack on our land.
His subversion of the law has resulted in the highest number of illegal alien encounters in a single day, the highest number of illegal alien encounters in a single month, and the highest number of illegal alien encounters in a single year, surpassing every national record on each account.

Ms. GREENE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, his willful refusal to enforce the law has resulted in the most egregious national security crisis in the history of our country.
Democrats are in a quandary. Either they must own the policies of murder and crime of American citizens, or they can admit Secretary Mayorkas has broken Federal laws and vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas.
