House Homeland Security Committee Chair Reveals He Has Evidence of Mayorkas’ ‘Potential Fraud’

U.S. Rep. and House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green has stated that he has evidence of “potential fraud” committed by Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller on Thursday, Green stated that Mayorkas may have committed fraud, though he could not provide more details at the time of the interview. The Republican congressman suggested that in his estimation the alleged violations were likely sufficient to mount a case for Mayorkas’ impeachment.

“We’ve got some people that are sharing some information with us that there’s potential fraud, so we’re going to look very hard at all of these things, prepare a packet, show it to the American people, and then if it warrants impeachment, we’ll hand it off to Chairman Jordan. I think it will, based on the information I know,” Green told The Daily Caller.

“I think if he fails to enforce the laws written on the books that in and of itself is enough for him to be removed. He is in the executive branch. He doesn’t get to make the laws, we do, and if he can’t enforce and live by the Constitution of the United States, why is he a cabinet secretary,” Green continued.

“I’m quite alright owning that responsibility and [building a case for Mayorkas’ impeachment], but, when we’re done with that, and my gut tells me it’s gonna be enough for him to not be in the job.”

In a statement to The Daily Caller, a representative of the Department of Homeland Security pushed back at the allegations, treating Green’s suggestions of fraud as a frivolous distraction from Mayorkas’ job.

“Secretary Mayorkas is proud to advance the noble mission of this Department, support its extraordinary workforce, and serve the American people,” the spokesman said.

“The Department will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border, protect the nation from terrorism, improve our cybersecurity, all while building a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system. Instead of pointing fingers and pursuing a baseless impeachment, Congress should work with the Department and pass legislation to fix our broken immigration system, which has not been updated in over 40 years.”
