for almost a year, committee democrats have turned a blind eye to the victims of the border crisis while berating us for spending what they believe was too much time investigating secretary mayorkas' handling of the border. let me repeat that, democrats have berated us for spending too much time on it the border crisis. keep that in mind when you hear that this impeachment is somehow being rushed. the truth is, this process has been painstakingly thorough. our intent was to be fair, cover heads of, and meticulous. unlike house democrats, we take the use of impeachment extremely seriously. i am proud of the work that my republican colleagues have put in as we have uncovered a lot. phase one of our investigation documented multiple laws, court orders, and rulings that secretary mayorkas disregarded, ignored, or refused. he has been dishonest with both congress and the american people. in phase two, we learned that secretary mayorkas ' actions and unlawful policy have surrendered the border to the south of the border drug cartels, enriching the cartels to the tune of $13 billion per year fr
