Rep. Rose: The Case for Impeaching Sec. Mayorkas Is Even Stronger Than It Was Last Week

WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-06) took to the House Floor Tuesday to express his continued support for impeaching Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The full remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below:

Mister Speaker, the case for impeaching DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is even stronger today than it was last week.

In the last seven days, there have been tens of thousands more illegal immigrant encounters at our southern border. That’s not from Customs and Border Protection officials. They don’t release daily or weekly numbers. This is just based on what we’ve come to expect every month, every week, under his leadership.

There were more than 302,000 encounters in December. More than 9,700 people a day and more than 400 every hour.

The case is also stronger because we now know we’re on track to break another illegal immigration record this fiscal year. Fewer than five months in, encounters have already surpassed one million.

Secretary Mayorkas continues to subvert federal immigration law and must be removed from office.
