Friend,

The Biden administration recently announced that 302,034 illegal immigrants were encountered at the southern border in December — the highest monthly total ever. For 34 straight months, monthly encounters have been higher than even the highest month seen under the previous administration.  In fact, the unprecedented monthly total in December is a 460 percent increase from the average December during the Trump administration.

It is clear: the crisis at the border is man-made, self-inflicted, and avoidable — it is caused by the Biden administration’s failure at every level. They repealed effective border security policies and refused to enforce the laws we have on the books. Now, it’s American citizens who are bearing the consequences. We see the deadly impacts of the fentanyl crisis, rising crime, and the massive strain on our localities, schools, and other community services.

For three years, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has refused to enforce the laws passed by Congress, abused his authority as secretary, and misled Congress and the American people about the crisis and the role his actions and decisions have played in sparking and facilitating it.

An average of 5,000 illegal immigrants are being released into the United States each day, which is a flagrant abuse of immigration laws passed by Congress governing the parole, detention, and removal of illegal migrants.

Congress has a responsibility to hold executive branch officials accountable when they fail to uphold their oath of office, abuse their authority, or are dishonest with the American people. This is essential in a constitutional republic built upon the separation of powers.

This Republican-led House of Representatives is working to hold the Biden administration accountable for their failures, starting with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas. I will be voting to impeach Secretary Mayorkas when Articles of Impeachment come to the floor.

Sincerely,
