Murphy Votes to Dismiss Baseless Impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas

WASHINGTON-U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, on Wednesday released the following statement on the Senate's vote to dismiss the impeachment of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas:

"Republicans see the border as nothing more than a campaign issue. It's more important for them to be able to score political points by going to the border and dressing up as patrol agents or yelling about Secretary Mayorkas on cable news than it is for them to actually do something about the challenges at the border. If House Republicans were serious people, the bipartisan border security bill that I helped to write would be law. Instead, they've wasted taxpayer dollars on a baseless impeachment that failed to prove that Secretary Mayorkas has committed a single high crime or misdemeanor but will keep feeding the Republican moneymaking grievance machine. It's an embarrassment."
