And we as a Republican Congress should put our entire careers and our entire ownership of the House of Representatives on the line to stop funding that smirking son of a b---- Alejandro Mayorkas, who is the secretary of Homeland Security and shouldn't be," said Roy. 

"Not only should he be impeached, the entire organization should have funding withheld until we stop what's happening at the border," he added. "Until these gutless losers in Washington recognize we're supposed to use the power of the purse to stop it, nothing is going to change."
