The House GOP is done with failed DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas…
According to a New York Post report, GOP House members announced articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Sunday, accusing him of failing to do his job by allowing thousands of asylum seekers to enter the country amid record-breaking illegal crossings.
From The New York Post:
The House Homeland Security Committee is expected to approve the charges at a Tuesday hearing and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) vowed Friday to hold a floor vote “as soon as possible.”
Mayorkas, 64, would be the second Cabinet secretary in US history to be impeached — and first since Secretary of War William Belknap in 1876.
The first article says Mayorkas chose not to enforce the law, specifically a requirement that asylum seekers who illegally cross the border “shall be detained” until there is a decision on their status — with release into the US interior only allowed on a case-by-case basis.
…
The second article of impeachment accuses Mayorkas of lying to Congress about the border being “secure” and failing to comply with document requests.
302,000 illegal migrants were apprehended along the US-Mexico border in December.
House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) said that the data “serve as more undeniable proof that Secretary Mayorkas must be impeached.”
“This secretary is utterly unfit for the office he holds,” Green said.
