Stefanik: House GOP 'Last Line of Defense' Against Biden Admin

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., said Sunday that House Republicans are the "last line of defense" against the Biden administration, after the Homeland Security Committee unveiled two articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

"This is very important as House Republicans are the last line of defense, and we are holding the Biden administration and [President] Joe Biden accountable for the catastrophe at our southern border," Stefanik stated on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures."

"Our committee chair, Mark Green of Homeland Security, has done a tremendous job and has shown to the American people that there has been a willful ... refusal to comply with the law and an abuse of power in the position as secretary of Homeland Security," she continued.

"You have a wide-open border. It is the No. 1 issue for Americans across the country. And it's not just the border states ... who are impacted. It's my home state of New York as well. Every state is a border state."

The first article of impeachment states that Mayorkas has "willfully and systemically refused to comply with Federal immigration laws," while the second states that he both "breached the public trust" by making false statements and "knowingly obstructed lawful oversight" of DHS.
