House Republicans impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday, reversing their failed vote on the extraordinary move a week ago — and setting up a showdown in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The House voted 214-213 to pass two articles of impeachment against Biden’s chief border enforcement officer on charges of “willful and systemic refusal to comply” with federal immigration law and lying to Congress about the border being “secure.”
Mayorkas, 64, is only the second Cabinet official to be impeached after Secretary of War William Belknap, who resigned in 1876 from President Ulysses S. Grant’s administration hours before the House formally charged him with corruption.
Belknap was later acquitted by the Senate — an outcome also likely for Mayorkas given that politically vulnerable Senate Democrats such as Jon Tester of Montana have dismissed the House’s impeachment push as “political games.”
But some Republicans in the Senate — which puts individuals on trial if they are impeached, or charged, by the House — are vowing to make the case for removal nonetheless.
“There will absolutely be many who believe his case merits removal from office and will vote accordingly,” a Senate GOP aide told The Post. “Since Democrats control the chamber, however, it’s basically certain that the vote will fail — if [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer [D-NY] allows it to happen in the first place.”
……House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has already named 11 GOP impeachment managers to make the case for conviction during a Senate trial: House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (Tenn.) and Reps. Michael Guest (Miss.), Michael McCaul (Texas), August Pfluger (Texas), Clay Higgins (La.), Ben Cline (Va.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Andrew Garbarino (NY), Harriet Hageman (Wyo.), Laurel Lee (Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), who authored the resolution.
“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,” Johnson said in a statement following the vote.
RINO Mike Gallagher insisted:
“The person chiefly responsible for the chaos and devastation that has unfolded at the border is Mr. Biden, not Mr. Mayorkas,” he said. “If Mr. Mayorkas were removed, his replacement would also implement Mr. Biden’s disastrous border policies. If anything, impeaching Mr. Mayorkas would absolve Mr. Biden of blame for his own policies.”
Then you impeach them as well. Any DHS director who refuses to do their job should be kicked to the curb.
Pro-illegal shitbag Alejandro Mayorkas says securing the border, increasing the number of Border Patrol agents, limiting asylum, and enforcing our immigration laws, is “violence to our fundamental values”. This arrogant, boorish criminal collaborator took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and faithfully discharge the duties of his office. He is derelict to the point of being an accomplice to the illegals who flood across the border every day. He lies under oath. Fuck impeachment. He should be in jail.
There’s a simple solution too the Biden border clusterfuck. Enforce the law. Secure the border. Round up illegals and send them back across the border where they belong. I like how Dwight Eisenhower handled the illegal alien problem; a military-directed operation with a no-nonsense approach to kicking out and keeping out illegal aliens. Round them up, send them home.
Anyone who follows the pattern of Dem agenda, talking points and strategy knows that illegal aliens are part of their voting bloc. They intend to entrench and exploit as many (Hispanic) illegals as they can to push their socialist agenda, institutionalize selective rights, and wrest control of the country away from American citizens. Democrats would rather subvert the voting process for political gain than follow the law.
It boils down to this: The Dem Party is trying to replace the American citizen electorate with more obedient voters from the Third World. In order to gain power, they plan to change the fabric and demographic of the country. Even if they have to destroy it.
