                   SECRETARY MAYORKAS MUST BE REMOVED

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, the case for impeaching DHS Secretary 
Alejandro Mayorkas is even stronger today than it was last week.
  In the last 7 days, there have been tens of thousands more illegal 
immigrant encounters at our southern border. That is not from Customs 
and Border Protection officials. They don't release daily or weekly 
numbers. This is just based on what we have come to expect every month, 
every week, under his and President Biden's leadership.
  There were more than 302,000 encounters in December, more than 9,700 
people a day, and more than 400 every hour.
  The case is also stronger because we know we are on track to break 
another illegal immigration record this fiscal year. Fewer than 5 
months into the year, encounters have already surpassed 1 million.
  Secretary Mayorkas continues to subvert Federal immigration law and 
must be removed from office.
