During a House Oversight Committee hearing on immigration enforcement last week, Rep. Eric Burlison lit into impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas .
“You know, it's really good to see that the disaster that was Alejandro Mayorkas is gone. Um, he's a disgrace," Burlison said.
"I'm glad he was impeached. And he will forever have a stain on the history of the United States and the scourge that he allowed to ensue. But he lied to us multiple times. He stood before members of Congress, and he said the border is secure.”
Mayorkas, who served during the Biden administration, was impeached for failing to protect the border.

Current border czar Tom Homan has also recently criticized Mayorkas saying the former Biden administration official “lied from day one” about the border.
Mayorkas has recently claimed that he fought against sanctuary cities, but critics note the “sanctuary” movement actually grew under his tenure.
For many, it seems, the “stain” of his tenure remains.
