Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC) has reaffirmed her support for an impeachment inquiry into Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In a statement released today, Foxx emphasized the importance of adhering to regular order and conducting a thorough investigation into Mayorkas' actions.

Foxx stated, "In January, I offered my full-throated support of launching an impeachment inquiry into Secretary Mayorkas – and not stooping to the same level as House Democrats when they launched a snap impeachment crusade against President Trump."

Foxx drew attention to the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Biden, currently being conducted by the committees of jurisdiction – Oversight and Accountability, Ways and Means, and Judiciary. She argued that the same level of scrutiny should be applied to Mayorkas, and that House Republicans are committed to upholding their promise of restoring regular order.

"If the United States Senate is to follow our lead and impeach Secretary Mayorkas as well, we’d better do things by the book from the get-go – shortcuts are not an option," Foxx asserted.

Foxx also highlighted the need for accountability, stating, "Alejandro Mayorkas must be held accountable for his egregious failures – there’s no doubt about that." She expressed confidence in the Judiciary Committee, led by Chairman Jordan, to conduct a thorough and fair impeachment inquiry.

"I opposed the snap impeachment Democrats launched against President Trump, and Republicans can do better than to take a page out of the Democrat political playbook," Foxx added. "I look forward to voting for the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas – when we’ve adhered to regular order and made good on our commitments."

Representative Foxx's statement underscores the Republican commitment to following a methodical and thorough process in the impeachment inquiry against Secretary Mayorkas. The focus on regular order and avoiding shortcuts demonstrates a dedication to upholding the principles of fairness and accountability. As the impeachment inquiry progresses, it will be interesting to see how House Republicans and Democrats navigate the complexities of this important issue.
