Washington D.C. - Congresswoman Bice has voiced her support for the impeachment of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during her recent speech on the House Floor. The articles of impeachment have already passed the House, and now the Senate must proceed with a formal impeachment trial.
In her remarks, Congresswoman Bice expressed the gravity of the situation, stating, "This is one of the most solemn and consequential actions the U.S. House of Representatives can take, and I do not take it lightly." She went on to highlight the failures of Secretary Mayorkas in upholding border security and enforcing federal immigration laws.
Under Secretary Mayorkas' watch, Congresswoman Bice argued, there has been a degradation of border security and a consistent refusal to comply with immigration laws. She pointed out the alarming statistics that fentanyl has become the leading cause of death for individuals aged 18-45, terrorists on the FBI watchlist are being released into the country, and cartels are thriving as a multi-billion dollar business.
The Congresswoman emphasized that the crisis at hand poses a direct threat to every American, making communities less safe. She firmly stated, "The crisis we face today is a threat to every single American, causing our communities to be less safe, and it is a direct result of the Secretary's actions."
Congresswoman Bice concluded her remarks by stressing the need to hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable for his actions. She asserted, "A clear message must be sent to the executive branch that they no longer get to break the law without consequences. Secretary Mayorkas must be held accountable."
The impeachment of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has garnered significant attention, and Congresswoman Bice's support adds weight to the movement. As the Senate prepares for the formal impeachment trial, the nation waits to see if Secretary Mayorkas will be held accountable for his perceived failures in upholding border security and enforcing immigration laws.
