speaker, last week the house homeland security committee released documents that identified over 45 airport locations that were used by president biden to secretly fly over 400,000 illegal immigrants into our country. these documents, which the biden administration only turned over-under subpoena, show that secretary mayorkas and president biden have been transporting illegal immigrants into communities across the united states. it is clear that president biden is using our regional airports to spread this crisis and effectively make each and every state a border state. the american people cannot afford to have a homeland security secretary that fails to keep america safe. and pennsylvania families cannot afford a president who cares more about illegal immigrants than about the american people. thank you, mr. speaker. and i yield. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from guam, mr. moylan, for five minutes. mr. moylan: thank you, mr. speaker. today i rise to recognize mayor john cruz as he serves his final term representing the village after almost two decades. before

republican mark green who chairs the house homeland security committee called the rule a �*unserious,e biden administration itself created.�* some in mr biden's own party are calling for tougher action as well. in a letter this week, a group of house democrats called on the president to take executive action on immigration and border policy. immigration is set to be one of the most contentious issues in the run—up to the 20—21; election. let's turn to some important news around the world. taliban officials in afghanistan say at least fifty people have died in flash floods in the northern province of baghlan. more than a hundred have been injured by the heavy rains, and at least five districts had been hit — according to a taliban spokesman. experts say a relatively dry winter has made it more difficult for the soil to absorb the rain. brazil announced the release of ten billion dollars to help rescue efforts and reconstruction in the state of rio grande do sul. at least 113 people have died, more than 100 are still missing, and more than 330 thousand have been displaced. forecasts pro

and over a year ago, house republicans not only put h.r. 2 across the finish line in the homeland security committee, but got it across the finish line on the floor of this house. it was voted against by democrats. it was sent over to the senate. where it has collected dust. on chuck schumer's desk. it's collected dust and in the process the crisis at our southern border, mr. speaker, the biden border crisis, has gotten worse. it's affected more people. people have died. because of the failed policies of joe biden and secretary mayorkas. and the fact that we have our colleagues on the other side of the aisle saying that this is about messaging, well, mr. speaker, i wonder if they'd deliver that same message to the family and loved ones of victims who have fallen prey though biden border crisis. you see, mr. speaker, when we are back home in our districts, we ensure our constituents, they need to know we are committed, dedicated to fact finding. and well-researched policy. you see, the other side of the aisle, they can't support this simply because they're trying to deny that there's even a crisis. t

a recent report from the house committee on homeland security estimated t bder surge is costing the americana $450 billion a year. you've got that right, costing the americans taxpayers $450 a year. after 10 years we're looking at a $5 trillion bill. in terms of actual ne it's estimated that illegals receive 42 billion in welfare annually, 68 billion in 7 bill care, we're spendin hdreds of billions of dollars to support all of thesepeople. the american taxpayers can simply afford it. so why are joe biden and the decrats allowing this to happen? it's simply becausere more abou than safety and keeping the taxpayers and the american citizens. a new york congresswoman nfmed this, she says she welcomes illegal immigration because it helps with redistricting. the president and the democratic party know, theepeop country, the longer they say in stricts. in the blue simple fact, but enough lives been lost by blatant disregard of the law by the biden administration. >> it's time elected officials fulfill the oath of office s protecting the country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. so, this bill

now, democratic california congressman robert garcia, he is a member of the house oversight committee and the homeland securitywas the senate once again trying to pass this immigration bill. it failed there. how would you have voted it had it come to the house? >> well, i mean, first, look, i appreciate the senate's efforts and certainly the democrats in the senate aren't trying to put a comprehensive bill that looks at security at the border. i appreciate that. i think unfortunately many of us in the hispanic caucus on the house side are concerned that the bill does not include real immigration reform. i think you have to have both. i think a lot of what's in there as it relates to border security, supporting border patrol agents, technology. those are the right things. the president supports those. it's also true that we have 11 million people in this country with no pathway to citizen ship. it's also true we need to strengthen our asylum laws. we have dreamers who are looking at their futures not knowing what could be next for them. we believe that that package could have been a lot stronger. it could have

homeland security secretary under the bush administration. he said, in referencing this, the effort to impeach you, he wrote this in january. "i can say with confidence that the role the investigating of the house committee on homeland security, they have failed to put forth evidence that meets the bar. that is why republicans are not seeking to hold mr. mayorkas to the constitution's high crimes and misdemeanors standards for impeachment they make the unsupported argument that he is derelict in his duty". with respect to that issue, the issue of trying to get something done, instead of continuing on with the theatrics of impeachment, former secretary chernoff says, i don't agree with every policy decision that the biden administration has made. the aspects of immigration strategy are worthy of debate. house republicans are ducking difficult policy work and hard- fought compromise. impeachment is a diversion from fixing our broken immigration laws and giving dhs the resources needed to secure the border. here today, we discussed the bipartisan senate bill. while moving forward with the effort to put together an impeachment proceeding against you, you were working in the senate. senator langford and other

the house committee on homeland security advanced articles of impeachment against department of homeland security alejandro mayorkas. he has been impeached by the people's house. these articles do not impugn the secretary's character nor list dissenting views on how to handle the crisis at the border. instead impeachment articles against secretary mayorkas carry the charge of high crimes and misdemeanors. it's important that all americans recognize the true meaning of high crimes and misdemeanors. while some of my colleagues have claimed that this charges confined to specific violations of criminal statute, let us not fail to recognize the founders original intent and well-documented debate regarding the origin and meaning of this term. article 2 section or jik of the constitution reads the president, vice president, and all civil officers of the united states shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. our founding fathers used this phrase high crimes and misdemeanors having 400 years of reddish parliament hi
