impeachment against him for high crimes and mis-
demeanors. 
ARTICLE I 
Rather than adhering to an oath he took to defend 
and secure our country and uphold the Constitution when 
he was sworn in as Secretary of Homeland Security, 
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has engaged in a pattern of 
conduct that is incompatible with the laws of the United 
States, as follows: 
Article II of the Constitution requires that the Execu-
tive branch, which today includes the Secretary of Home-
land Security, ensure the laws passed by Congress and 
signed into law by the President are faithfully executed. 
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 (Public Law 109–367) 
requires that the Secretary of Homeland Security ‘‘main-
tain operational control over the entire international land 
and maritime borders of the United States’’. 
In his willful admittance of border crossers, terror-
ists, human traffickers, drugs, and other contraband, 
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has failed to maintain oper-
ational control of the border, thereby violating the Secure 
Fence Act of 2006. 
The Guarantee Clause set forth in article IV, section 
4 of the Constitution dictates, ‘‘The United States shall 
guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form

of Government, and shall protect each of them against In-
vasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the 
Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) 
against domestic Violence’’. 
The Guarantee Clause clearly dictates that the Fed-
eral Government has a constitutional duty and obligation 
to protect each of the States from invasion. As Secretary 
of the Department of Homeland Secretary, Alejandro 
Mayorkas, has violated his oath to uphold this constitu-
tional duty by allowing the invasion of approximately 
10,000,000 illegals across our borders. The ongoing inva-
sion at our southern border is a direct national security 
threat against the States and against the citizens therein. 
Secretary Mayorkas has willfully abandoned his duty to 
secure the border and protect States against invasion, 
thereby violating article IV, section 4 of the Constitution. 
To wit, since Mayorkas has headed the Department 
of Homeland Security, there have been— 
(1) approximately 10,000,000 illegal border 
crosser who have invaded our country at our border, 
this is broken down between 8,000,000 encounters 
and approximately 1,800,000 known ‘‘gotaways’’ 
who have evaded United States authorities and are 
roaming the interior of the United States;

States, this is the number arrested at the border, 
not counting however many of the 1,800,000 known 
‘‘gotaways’’ are special interest aliens;
