Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) filed a resolution on Wednesday to impeach the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security over his deliberate and intentional failure to perform his duty to protect the southern border of the United States:
Resolved, that Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.…
In his willful admittance of border crossers, terrorists, human traffickers, drugs, and other contraband … Mayorkas has failed to maintain operational control of the border.
As a result, he “has made it easier for illegal people and drugs to enter the United States, endangering American citizens, and has made it harder for CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] to expel such threats.” Mayorkas therefore “warrants impeachment and … removal from office.”
When the history of this era is accurately written it will likely conclude that Mayorkas, among all the bad actors working deliberately and intentionally to destroy the American Republic, did the most damage. In her press release accompanying the filing of the impeachment resolution, MTG said:
Under Mayorkas’s watch, he has allowed approximately 6 million illegal border encounters, a record amount of fentanyl seized at the border, totaling approximately 40,000 pounds, more than 193 people on terrorist watchlists caught while attempting to cross the border at ports of entry, approximately 1.4 million known “gotaways” who have evaded U.S. authorities, approximately 1,424 deaths of illegals at the Southern border (853 dead illegals — the most ever in a 12-month period — died trying to cross the Southern border in 2022), and an approximate 870% increase in border encounters in just one sector of the Northern border.
Extrapolated to the end of the Biden administration’s first term, it is reasonable that that 6 million number will grow to perhaps 15 to 20 million, especially now that Title 42 — the order that allowed the CBP to expel illegals — has expired.
That alone would be enough to change and degrade the culture through the insinuation of a foreign population cohort into the country that knows little about, or even cares about, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or even the “idea” of America: that citizens have been freer here than in any country in human history to write their own ticket, to make their own decisions, to fulfill their own dreams, without government permission and constraints.
Mayorkas has been used by the Deep State ever since California Senator Dianne Feinstein recommended him to Bill Clinton for U.S. Attorney in Los Angeles. He then served the Deep State faithfully under both the Clinton and Bush administrations.
When he was nominated to be Secretary of Homeland Security by Joe Biden in November 2020, Senate RINOs Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Susan Collins (Maine), Mitt Romney (Utah), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Dan Sullivan (Alaska) helped the Democrats confirm him.
By June 2021, the number of illegals crossing the southern border surged to a then-record high of 188,800.
In October 2022, Senator Ted Cruz (Texas) and Representatives Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Michael Cloud (Texas), and Vicky Hartzler (Mo.) first raised the prospect of impeaching Mayorkas. But it went nowhere.
This writer’s assessment of the damage Mayorkas has done and continues to do to the American Republic is echoed by House Republican Whip Tom Emmer: “This, to me, is the greatest malfeasance … it’s an intentional failure to act. He should be impeached.”
The impeachment of Mayorkas is finally gaining some significant traction. Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) told the Washington Examiner: “These are huge … national security issues,” and they will “continue [as long as VP Kamala Harris and Mayorkas continue] to do nothing, and in fact, do the opposite of nothing by actually weakening our border system.”
And according to Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas):
Secretary Mayorkas has violated the law and … implemented policies that undermine law enforcement activities at our southern border….
His willful actions erode our immigration system, undermine border patrol morale, and imperil American national security. He must be removed from office.
So far, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been silent on the idea, but is feeling pressure from Majority Whip Emmer and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), both of whom held McCarthy’s feet to the fire to permit him to ascend to that position.
One example among hundreds illustrating the damage Mayorkas has already done was provided by news aggregator Discover The Networks. When Mayorkas was pointedly asked if he was going to do anything about illegals already present in the country, he responded, “Unlawful presence in the United States, alone, will not be a basis for immigration enforcement action.”
This so outraged Angel Families — those whose loved ones had been murdered by illegals — that they posted the following:
No one is or should be above the law.
When it comes to the 15-30 million individuals who entered the country illegally, refused to leave when their visa expired or were denied asylum, and disappeared into the country, they are considered by the president, every Democratic legislator (and some Republicans), most of the media, and many state and local governors and state legislators and particularly DHS Secretary Mayorkas, to be above the law.…
DHS Secretary Mayorkas made it very clear that being here illegally is not a crime.…
The truth is that this administration and Mayorkas, in particular, decided to open the borders … to protect those who have already committed crimes.
As more and more illegals seep into the country through the porous southern (and now northern) border, enabled by criminals such as Mayorkas and supported by RINOs, pressure continues to build among real Americans in Congress to get rid of Mayorkas.
That pressure, if successful in the House, will run into a wall in the Senate, where 60 senators must pass the measure in order to remove the illegal-immigration enabler.
So, the invasion of illegals will continue, and the Republic will continue to suffer.
