By Marjorie Taylor Greene – February 14, 2024
Last night, after months of hard work, the House Republican conference finally impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
After I introduced my Articles on the House floor, they were referred to the Homeland Committee to be marked up and reported favorably to the House. I thank Chairman Mark Green for working these Articles through our committee to get a vote on the House floor.
Secretary Mayorkas is guilty of breaking our federal immigration laws, breaching the public trust, and violating his oath of office.
Since assuming office, Secretary Mayorkas has aided and abetted the complete invasion of our country by deliberately flooding our nation with drugs, terrorists, and illegal aliens.
Under Mayorkas’s watch, he has allowed approximately 10 million illegal border crossers from over 160 countries to invade our country.
Secretary Mayorkas has repeatedly pulled over 50% of border agents from guarding the border wall and moved them to processing, caring for, and transferring illegals, leaving huge gaps for cartels and smugglers to exploit.
The Secretary provided copious amounts of baby formula to illegal aliens at one of the largest processing centers in the country, all while American mothers and infants were intensely suffering from severe shortages. He flooded a hospital’s maternity unit with illegal aliens, so much so that American mothers were forced to delay inductions.
Mayorkas canceled border wall construction contracts that would have secured our nation’s border, violated the law by directing DHS to “mass-parole” illegal aliens into the U.S. when federal law specifically prohibits this, encouraged asylum fraud, abused the credible fear standard, and exercised mass catch and release policies.
Not only has Secretary Mayorkas enabled child exploitation, sex and drug trafficking, and fentanyl overdoses, but he has also done everything in his power to put Americans last. His policies, directives, and statements have created a national security crisis and have endangered the lives of American citizens.
As a result of intentionally failing to secure our homeland and putting the lives of every American in danger from his very first day in office, Alejandro Mayorkas is unfit to hold the office of Secretary of Homeland Security and must now be tried and convicted in the Senate.

I am honored to serve you in Congress and always put America First!
