U.S. Representative August Pfluger has expressed his support for the Articles of Impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Speaking on the U.S. House Floor, Pfluger emphasized the importance of accountability and the need for consequences for Mayorkas' actions.

Pfluger began his remarks by acknowledging the seriousness of the situation, stating, "It is a sad day that we have to be here, but the Framers of our Constitution forecasted that this could occur." He went on to highlight that the impeachment proceedings were the result of a year-long investigation by the House Homeland Security Committee into the consequences of the crisis at the southern border.

Describing the situation at the border as a "catastrophe" and a "national security crisis," Pfluger pointed out the alarming numbers: "9 million illegal aliens have entered our country since President Biden has been in office and 300 people have matched the terror watch list." Drawing a comparison to the 9/11 attacks, Pfluger emphasized the potential dangers of allowing such a large number of individuals into the country without proper vetting.

Pfluger criticized Mayorkas for what he described as a "systemic refusal to follow the law" and a failure to enforce existing immigration laws. He emphasized that it is Congress' duty to ensure that the Department of Homeland Security is led by individuals committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting the country's borders.

The representative concluded his remarks by urging his fellow lawmakers to take action and hold Mayorkas accountable. He stated, "I urge everyone in the House to do something that actually gets accountability to impeach Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and to get our country secure."

Pfluger's passionate speech reflects the concerns of many who believe that the crisis at the southern border requires immediate attention and decisive action. The impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas serve as a way to address the failure to secure the border and uphold the rule of law.
