House Homeland Security Committee Holds Impeachment Hearing for Mayorkas | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Members on the House Homeland Security Committee held their first impeachment hearing for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Republicans say they want the top Biden Administration official out over the border crisis. Democrats decry the move as nothing more than partisan politics. House Republicans have lambasted Secretary Mayorkas over what they've claimed to be a dereliction of duty as border crossings have reached record highs, laying the groundwork for impeachment proceedings. The Attorneys General of Montana, Oklahoma and Missouri shared stories of how the secretary's failed leadership has impacted their states. Austin Knudsen of Montana says, "The most devastating impact of an open border on Montana has been the massive quantities of Mexican cartel fentanyl, and methamphetamine." Gentner Drummond of Oklahoma says, "Illegal immigration costs Oklahoma taxpayers more than 750-million dollars each year with a minimal offset return." And Andrew Bailey of Missouri says, "Secretary Mayorkas swore an oath to faithfully execute the laws of our land. In Missouri, we remove officials who do not do their jobs because we have seen first hand the catastrophic toll it takes on entire communities." Democrats were quick to come to Mayorkas' defense.
