Republicans have just passed impeachment charges in committee against Biden’s hack Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, advancing it to the House floor.

Here’s more via Reuters:

A Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives panel early on Wednesday advanced impeachment charges against Democratic President Joe Biden’s top border official, a near-unprecedented move that comes as political tensions around immigration ramp up.

Nancy Pelosi led impeachment against Trump so this isn’t unprecedented. But it is absolutely necessary.

The House Homeland Security Committee approved two articles of impeachment, targeting Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas following a lengthy hearing where lawmakers split sharply along partisan lines. The charges allege Mayorkas intentionally encouraged illegal immigration with lax policies and violated public trust by making false statements to Congress.

Democrats have dismissed the impeachment effort as a political ploy and constitutional experts have said the policy criticisms outlined by Republicans do not meet impeachment’s high standard of misconduct. The only Cabinet member ever to be impeached by the House was former President Ulysses S. Grant’s secretary of war.

Of course Democrats disagree. They are partisan hacks trying to protect their president and refuse to look at the facts of Biden’s disastrous border policies.

If you remember Democrats pitched a humongous fit when the border was being overrun under President Trump in 2019, but they could’t give two hoots about Biden’s border being WAY WORSE than it ever was under Trump. They can’t be taken seriously but Reuters treats them that way.

It continues:

The timing of a possible impeachment vote on the House floor remains unclear but the earliest would be next week, a source close to the proceedings told reporters. If impeached by the House, Mayorkas likely would be acquitted in the Senate, where Democrats have a slim majority.

Border security is a core issue for Republican voters concerned about a record number of migrants illegally crossing the border since Biden took office in 2021 and the party has made it a focus in the runup to the Nov. 5 elections that will decide control of the White House and Congress.

Republicans fault Biden for rolling back restrictive policies of Republican former President Donald Trump, the leading candidate for his party’s nomination to challenge Biden.

“He has willfully and systematically refused to comply with the laws passed by Congress and breached the trust of Congress and the American people,” Representative Mark Green, the committee chairman, said at the hearing. “The results have been catastrophic and have endangered the lives and livelihoods of all Americans.”
