Impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I welcome my colleagues to another week of impeachment unlimited.

Having no legislative accomplishments to show for their 14 months in power, Republicans are voting on yet another pointless resolution.

Unable to provide any evidence against President Biden, they have now decided to impeach someone else instead. We have serious challenges at the border--no one denies that--but these are not serious people.

By this standard put forward by this hapless majority, every single DHS Secretary would have been impeached. This is a policy and political dispute, not a high crime or misdemeanor.

When an administration official tries to extort a foreign leader into helping them cheat in an election or leads an insurrection against our government, then impeach them. Until then, stop wasting everyone's time.

I have known Ale Mayorkas since we were prosecutors together. He is a person of great integrity and devotion to this country.

This impeachment is baseless, it is unconstitutional, and it should be defeated.
