98 known-suspected-terrorists were apprehended at the border, in addition to 9 apprehensions in the first month of fiscal year 2023. These record numbers, combined with a blatant disregard for national security vetting procedures, are a failure to protect the American people. Under Secretary Mayorkas, tens of thousands of illegal alien court cases were dismissed during fiscal year 2022 after the Department of Homeland Security did not properly file notice to appear documents ahead of the scheduled court hearings. Secretary Mayorkas has also usurped the parole process, especially using humanitarian parole to bypass immigration law and legally admit aliens who intended to cross the border illegally. He has abused categorical parole, allowing unprecedented numbers of unvetted aliens (particularly Afghans, Ukrainians, and Venezuelans) to enter the United States, effectively disregarding Congressional enforcement measures and encouraging further illegal immigration. In addition to increasing the number of illegal aliens, Secretary Mayorkas’s policies have led to a significant increase in illegal drug smuggling across the southern border. In just 2 months of fiscal year 2023, more deadly fentanyl has been seized at the border than the entire amount in any year on record before. The 14,700 pounds seized at the border in fiscal year 2022 is enough to kill every American 10 times over. As a result of this, fentanyl is now the leading cause of death among people 18–45, and opioid deaths are at an all-time high across our Nation. The actions of Secretary Mayorkas have made the border less secure and encouraged aliens to enter the United States illegally, instead of taking actions to maintain operational control of the border. His actions have subverted the will of Congress and the core tenants of the Constitution. Wherefore, Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
