Aderholt Statement on Impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas

WASHINGTON — Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas.

“I cast my vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas because he has failed to stop the invasion of our nation by illegal immigrants, human traffickers, drug smugglers and terrorists,” said Congressman Aderholt.  “His failure to stop this invasion most definitely meets the criteria of a “high crime and misdemeanor.”

“Since Mayorkas and President Biden began their respective roles three-years-ago, more people have entered our country illegally than the entire population of Alabama. Our government is a system of checks and balances. In that system, the Secretary is entitled to his own policies, but not his own laws. Republicans have promised to hold the Biden Administration accountable, and we are working every single day to fulfill that promise.”
