Washington, D.C. -- Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) participated in the House Judiciary Committee's Department of Homeland Security oversight hearing questioning Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Rep. Moore supports Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas due to his failure to uphold the law at our southern border. From his exchange with Secretary Mayorkas: Rep. Moore: I am certainly appalled at what's happening at the southern border, and I know my constituents are too. Your border policies make every state a border state. I said my constituents are appalled at what's happening -- I know a family that has personally suffered the consequences of your actions. In my district, the Second Congressional District in Alabama, the Autauga County Sheriff's Department arrested Grevi Geovani Rivera-Zavala, a 29-year-old illegal alien from Honduras for the rape of a teenage girl in Prattville, Alabama. Zavala identified as a minor. Why do you think it is that we are finding so many ID cards thrown down south of the border? If people are coming here for asylum, why don't they want us to know what they are up to? Sec. Mayorkas: Congressman, I am sorry to learn of the tragedy that occurred to your constituent. Rep. Moore: I understand that sir, but we've been apologizing to people for a long time. Even when the other party was in charge -- we are continuing to apologize to parents for losing their children to fentanyl, for people getting raped in restrooms, and for people killing others with cars when they can't even [legally] hold a driver's license. So, who is [going to take responsibility] for these tragedies? Is that you, Mr. Mayorkas? Is that President Biden? Sec. Mayorkas: Congressman, the criminal is responsible. I look forward to working with you to address the scourge of fentanyl that is causing so much devastation and death. I look forward to working with you to fix what is wrong with our broken immigration system. |
