i asked alejandro mayorkas and he had to answer. how does it improve our schools to pack classrooms with non-english students? how does it improve health care to pack our emergency rooms with illegals demanding basic free medical care? how does it help the safety of our communities to make it all but impossible to deport criminal illegal aliens or flood our streets with federal? -- with fentanyl? how does it strengthen arsenal for safety net -- our social safety net to allow 5 million illegal immigrants into this country that are impoverished and desperate

that ain't maga's fault it's all on biden and alejandro mayorkas. as i said if a phone call to zielinski is an impeachable offense so what biden has done to the border guard well has to be. the vast property damage they have caused has been an environmental catastrophe think about every innocent american brutalized every woman who has been raped along the way including the migrants every dollar spent could be spent on her own veterans and homeless. but somehow biden thinks voters in november are going to take it out on trump because republicans said no to defending other countries when the senate could not defend america? >> folks, this time to stop playing games with the world waiting and watching and the world is waiting in the world is watching. there waiting and watching what we're going to do we can't continue to let petty partisan politics get in the way responsibility.>> laura: translation conservatives decided they would not be ruled again and hyperbole about putin is not going to change a single voters mind. >> this bill standing up to puti

the deal, let mek asthis out for joe biden andenat alejandro mayorkas. ercure the border.w the senate passed a billt $95 billion, i will tell you right now, we are not listening to that in the house. secure the border and we can talk about other things. until then, washington does not deserve any more of the people's money because joe biden has lau failed the united states of america. >> laura: the shoveling money out the door that we don't ave have it as our country is beingn, t invaded. c congressman, thank you. will go back to ari and charlie who are also standing by. they have been watching thingsic unfold on the house floor tonight. e 18this is historic, second tie since 1876, only second time in, history that a cabinethe secretary has been impeached. of course, we have never seen the influx of humanity across any border w i don't think in world history as we havethre seo over the last three years. the total, we don't really have a clear grip on it, but a whilen ago it was over 8 million. you you can only imagine today closer to 10 million when you include the got a w

and the man responsible for executing that policy is alejandro mayorkas. he will be impeached through this committee this date. mr. chairman, i yelled. >> the gentleman yields. >> i seek unanimous consent to enter into the record, the actual notes, from the constitutional convention on that exact point that they neglected duty. if i might, this is edited by the director of the federal convention. >> we need the title. >> i need unanimous consent to enter into the record, jonathan turley states that there is no basis for impeaching secretary alejandro mayorkas. it is titled alejandro mayorkas ' failures are not impeachable and it appeared in the daily beast. i also ask unanimous consent. >> so ordered. >> to include in the record, impeachment, by raoul berger, and the founder of the constitutional regionalism that inspired supreme court justice anthony scalia, explaining that the term high crimes and misdemeanors is a limited phrase and it was not intended to be used by these purposes. >> ms. green? >> i ask unanimous consent to enter from the u.s. departme

we have the next alejandro mayorkas? >> everything with this administration is like whack-a-mole, for sure. and, yeah, they could appoint somebody else and nominate them. buff the senate then could not accept that confirmation. you get somebody who is temporary there. part of the impeachment process is to hold people accountable. and alejandro mayorkas needs to be held accountable. now, on your other point though. i do believe one of our strongest checks against an executive who has gone bad, which i think this administration has, particularly on this issue, is to use the checkbook so i have been arguing literally for several years to reduce the funding for many of this administration's programs. >> laura: yeah. >> until they actually enforce the border. so i i do think impeachment is necessary and required. it's our duty. i also think there is other ways to get at this cat as well. one of those is to actually say no more money for -- i don't know, how about the fbi new headquarters? how about the ira green new deal stuf

dhs treats alejandro mayorkas secure border claim lie, cvp official says. yorkas accused of lying under oath, playing shell game with data by former border official. and my favorite, mr. chairman, mayorkas latest litanies of lies on the border puts santos to shame. these are the headlines and these are what are being talked about because secretary mayorkas has been untruthful with the american public and he has been untruthful for congress. he comes in here and he raises his hand and he swears to tell the truth and then when he lies when he says the border is secure, he lies when he says the border is not open and we are not allowing, as we know, over 370,000 immigrants to flood across the border last month alone. i want to talk about what house republicans have done. because my friends on the other side say we're doing this again for political theater. last year we passed hr-2 the most comprehensive package that i have seen during my time in congress. when we talk about funding and what have we done on funding? i tell you that the house appropriations bill

"from his first day in office, secretary alejandro mayorkas with willfully refusing to enforce presidentut his own statement, saying "history will not look kindly on house republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games. instead of staging political stunts like this, republicans with genuine concerns about the border should want congress to deliver more border resources and stronger border security. " this all comes as the us—mexico border is being overwhelmed with record—breaking migrant crossings. in december, us border patrol agents recorded nearly 250,000 apprehensions of migrants who crossed the southern border unlawfully. that is the most arrests ever made on the southern border in a single month. breaking the record of 212,000 set the previous december. those numbers did steeply drop injanuary. at around 124,000 apprehensions. in the last hour i spoke about this with npr congressional correspondent claudia grisales. this vote failed last week, but pass tonight, what has changed

kind of echoing what you heard from alejandro mayorkas' office. will not look kindly at house republicans for blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship targeted honorable public official in order to play petty political games. public servant. charlie, again their is so raw for so many people. and it ranks now the top issue in most key districts in the united states, eclipsing even inflation which i thought was hard to do. how does this play out politically setting aside the constitutional question? >> i think it cuts clearly across party lines. partisan lines. this is something that effects democrat voters in a lot of the ways it effects democrat voters even more than it does republican voters. these invasions and now we see these invasions into blue states and blue cities and, you know, you walk around new york city today or any of these other places where -- that have you had suddenly been affected these sanctuary cities so happy to be sanctuary cities for so long and suddenly having to contend with what border states have had to contend with

i rise in support of the impeachment of secretary alejandro mayorkas. this is one of the most solemn and consequential actions the united states house of representatives can take. and i do not take it lightly. however, under the watch of secretary mayorkas, we've witnessed the degradation of our border and the willful denial of following laws. fentanyl is the leading cause of death for those 18-45. terrorists on the f.b.i. watch list are being released into the country and the cartels are a multibillion dollar business. the crisis we face today is a threat to every single american causing our communities to be less safe, and it is a direct result of secretary mayorkas' actions. a clear message must be sent to the executive branch that they no longer get to break the law without consequences. secretary mayorkas must be held accountable. with that, mr. speaker, i yield. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oklahoma yields back. the gentleman from mississippi is recognized. mr. thompson: thank you very much. mr. speaker, today three bipartisan former

if they are going to impeach alejandro mayorkas the vote essentially has to happen tonight. so far it seems like republicans have to vote because of some absences on both sides of the aisle. if and when the house is successful with this vote this effort largely dies in the senate where leader chuck schumer was pressed on whether he would take this up? he kept saying we will see what happens in the house. even some republicans not interested in moving forward they are palming a political process. >> you are going to stay with us as we continue to watch and i am going to bring back my panel. as we are keeping an eye back on this vote i want to ask your thoughts on going back to the nato conversation specifically. how we have seen so many different public and legislators particularly republican senators like lindsey graham for example sort of change their tune and contort logic just to be in line with donald trump. what does that tell you about his grip on the party as we get closer and closer to this presidential election? >> since he is essentially positioning himself as the

now, mike johnson has the votes they have just impeached alejandro mayorkas. now, the actions over to the senate and a matter of few days or weeks matter. >> let me just ask you though, as you as you lay this out, it goes over to the senate, the articles and i obviously people may remember when this happened with president trump, right? there was a group who walked the articles over. there's a process. they walk over now, if they are dismissed, as you're saying it is, it is virtually certain that they will be i understand there's a timeframe that that would happen under, but then what does that mean for the house if they're just outright dismissed by the senate, are there can you walk through whether there's hearings or not or what the house is gonna be doing with its time it's over, aaron once they're done, once the senate acts, it is done and denoted has kicked to convict. of course, you need two-thirds majority to do that, and there's absolutely no chance that would happen the senate, given that there's no democrats who supported this in the house to haunt,
