In recent news, a Wyoming Republican Congresswoman and member of the House Judiciary Committee has expressed grave concerns regarding the situation at the US-Mexico border. The Congresswoman emphasized the pressing need to address the influx of individuals, including those from China and Syria, entering the country illegally.

She underscored that the actions of the current Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are tantamount to an 'intentional invasion' that poses significant threats to national security. The Congresswoman alleged that Mayorkas has failed to enforce US laws and has actively facilitated the unauthorized entry of individuals into the country.

During a Judiciary Committee hearing, the Congresswoman accused Mayorkas of being dishonest and misleading in his responses regarding border security issues. She reiterated the importance of holding him accountable for his alleged violations of the law and urged the Senate to conduct a fair impeachment trial.

Mayorkas fails to enforce U.S. laws and lied about border issues.
Mayorkas needs to be convicted and removed from office for facilitating illegal immigration.
Senate should hold Mayorkas accountable regardless of political affiliations.

Citing statistics from Pew Research, which indicate a majority of both Republicans and Democrats believe the government is handling border security poorly, the Congresswoman highlighted the bipartisan concern over the administration's approach to immigration.

Having personally visited the southern border multiple times, the Congresswoman decried the inhumanity and national security implications of the current border crisis. She recounted encounters with individuals from various regions, raising questions about the motives behind their attempts to enter the US and calling for stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

In conclusion, the Congresswoman emphasized the urgency of regaining control over the border and restoring order to the immigration system. She expressed hope that the Senate would prioritize national interests over politics and give due consideration to the impeachment proceedings against Mayorkas.
