| House Pubs Release Articles of Impeachment Against POS Mayorkas |

| [Hot Air] Two articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas were released by House Republicans on Sunday. Republicans said they will quickly move forward to try to oust Mayorkas from office. Mayorkas faces impeachment due to his failure to manage the southern border. Democrats claim it is an election year stunt, politically motivated as House Republicans have no constitutional basis to remove him. Republicans contend Mayorkas is guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors" that amount to a "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" on immigration and a "breach of the public trust." Impeachment, they say, is "Congress’s only viable option." "Alejandro N. Mayorkas willfully and systemically refused to comply with the immigration laws, failed to control the border to the detriment of national security, compromised public safety, and violated the rule of law and separation of powers in the Constitution, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States," the impeachment resolution says. When House Republicans took control of the House in 2023, a top agenda item was to hold Mayorkas responsible for the chaos on the southern border. Granted, he is doing the bidding of Joe Biden but Mayorkas has continually lied to Congress. He claims that the border is not open and it is secure. He has not enforced existing immigration laws. He has turned Border Patrol agents along the southern border into paper pushers instead of letting them do their job. |

| #1 It took the Rep's long enough. An yes I would have to say they timed it 14+ million illegals too late for the election run up. All at our cost. |
