For years, Republicans have called out the shocking behavior of Joe Biden and his top officials. Conservative lawmakers blame Biden and especially the Department of Homeland Security for failing to secure the Southern border.
Thanks to this administration, over 7 million migrants have been allowed to illegally enter our country.
Republicans have singled out the DHS head, Alejandro Mayorkas, for setting policy that is allowing this border crisis. They made history by successfully voting to impeach this Biden official. And now, they are putting the pressure on the Senate to act.
From The Post Millennial:
GOP House leadership delivered the articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday afternoon.The articles have been a long time coming against the DHS secretary amid the ongoing border crisis under his tenure in managing border security…
It is alleged in the documents that Mayorkas “repeatedly violated laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security” as well as “made false statements to Congress” saying that the border was safe and secure.
Republican leaders from the House delivered their articles of impeachment against Biden’s DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas. Mayorkas has long been defiant to House Republicans, refusing to admit his role in the border crisis—which he has repeatedly denied even exists.
By law, the Senate has the power to act on these articles. According to historical precedent, a trial must be held over this impeachment. Yet, with Democrats controlling the Senate, it is unknown if they will even hold a trial.
It is likely that Democrats will quickly vote to dismiss these articles. Democrats fear losing their majority in the upper chamber. With it being a major election year, it is impossible that they will do anything that casts a shadow on the Biden administration.
But if they do dismiss these articles without even a trial, it will outrage millions of Americans. Nearly every state has been affected by the border crisis. Millions of migrants are overwhelming major cities and countless communities. President Biden has shocked Americans by his ongoing blindness to the crisis.
For Democrats in the Senate to play a role in ignoring Mayorkas’ culpability, it could only hurt them.
Key Takeaways:
- House Republicans delivered articles of impeachment against DHS head Mayorkas to the Senate.
- Republicans impeached Mayorkas for failing to protect the Southern border.
- Democrats control the Senate and might not hold a trial against Mayorkas.
