Mayorkas Impeached

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has made history. Not only has he presided over three years of record-breaking illegal immigration, but he just became the first cabinet secretary in nearly 150 years to be impeached.

It wasn’t easy. The first attempt failed. But it was worth the effort. Someone has to be held accountable for the Biden administration’s abject failure to secure our borders.

The impeachment resolution now heads to the Senate, where Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer is expected to quickly kill it.

Nonetheless, other senators now have an excellent opportunity to make the case as to why Joe Biden and Mayorkas have been derelict in their duty to secure the border.

We also have the entire House of Representatives on the record for and against these failed and dangerous open borders policies. This is not a waste of time if conservatives continue to effectively press the issue and focus the public’s attention.

Congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson for keeping his promise to get this done. Following the historic impeachment vote, Speaker Johnson issued this statement:

“For nearly a year, the House Homeland Security Committee has taken a careful and methodical approach to this investigation and the results are clear: from his first day in office, Secretary Mayorkas has willfully and consistently refused to comply with federal immigration laws, fueling the worst border catastrophe in American history.

“He has undermined public trust through multiple false statements to Congress, obstructed lawful oversight of the Department of Homeland Security, and violated his oath of office.

“Alejandro Mayorkas deserves to be impeached, and Congress has a constitutional obligation to do so. Next to a declaration of war, impeachment is arguably the most serious authority given to the House and we have treated this matter accordingly. Since this secretary refuses to do the job that the Senate confirmed him to do, the House must act.”

I agree completely!
