Murphy Votes in Support of Israel Security Supplemental

Washington, D.C. —Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. issued the following statement after voting in support of H.R. 7217, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act: 

"In the face of terror and unprovoked aggression, Israel is in a righteous fight for its existence and the United States must stand behind it," said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "The nation is our greatest ally in the Middle East and critically needs the support of the West to defend itself against Iranian-backed, extremist militant groups who wish to eradicate it. It is obvious Senator Schumer and Senate Democrats wish to use this emergency as a political football despite its critical nature and I will not allow it." 

House Republicans passed H.R. 6126, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act on November 2, 2023, less than one month after Hamas' attack on October 7th. 

Murphy Votes to Impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas

Washington, D.C. — Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. issued the following statement after voting to impeach Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas:

 “On the first day of his administration, President Biden flew open America's southern border," said Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D. "Secretary Mayorkas bears responsibility for the worst border crisis in our nation's history and is guilty of refusing to enforce federal law and lying to Congress and the public. This self-inflicted disaster has cost this nation over 450 billion dollars. Mayorkas' actions are unbecoming of a cabinet secretary and an affront to the American people who entrust our executives to lead with dignity and honor. Impeachment is one of the most serious actions Congress can take. We have a responsibility to judiciously test the merits of a case brought before us. It is clear Secretary Mayorkas has violated U.S. law. After carefully reviewing the validity of the two articles brought forth by the House Committee on Homeland Security, I voted to impeach Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas."

Background

• OVER 8.7 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border.

• 1.7+ million known gotaways have evaded the U.S. Border Patrol.

• In FY23, 169 people, whose names appear on the terrorist watchlist, were stopped trying to cross the Southern Border.

• This total is more than the encounters in all FY17, FY18, FY19, FY20, FY21, and FY22 combined.

• During FY23, CBP seized “enough fentanyl to kill the entire U.S. population,” and fentanyl poisoning is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-45.
