Washington, D.C. — Congressman Gosar issued the following statement following his vote in favor of H. Res. 863 – Impeaching United States Department of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for willfully refusing to enforce federal immigration laws and breach of public trust:

 “Once again, I voted to impeach Secretary Mayorkas for failing to uphold and execute our immigration laws and repeatedly lying to Congress and the American people.

As I have previously noted, more than 10 million illegal aliens, 360 terrorists, 90,000 convicted criminals and 26 tons of fentanyl have been welcomed into our country by Secretary Mayorkas and Joe Biden.  Their open border policies and willful disregard for the law have put our entire country in harm’s way.

By chosing to ignore the laws, instructing border patrol agents to welcome, caress and help illegal aliens, Secretary Mayorkas has violated his Constitutional oath of office and deserves impeachment,” concluded Congressman Gosar.
