We voted 'Yes' on H.Res. 863 – Impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for high crimes and misdemeanors. Our vote in favor of this bill reflects our commitment to prioritizing the needs of the Lowcountry. We cannot let our borders be overrun by hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. We need to stop the thousands of pounds of lethal fentanyl being smuggled into the United States and eradicate the threats posed by dangerous criminal cartels. It's time to put the Lowcountry first and ensure the safety and security of our communities.
