Rep Andy Biggs is calling for the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas, the head of the DHS for his corrupt open borders policies. I have often wondered why Republicans did not vote unanimously to withhold office from him.
The Democrats could have confirmed him without any Republican support and that’s the way it should have gone down.
His close ties to China in approving visas during the Obama/Biden administration for Chinese businessmen who were barred from getting visas due to national security threats alone should have disqualified him.
Then add to that he was instrumental in getting visas for Chinese businessmen who financially backed Terry McAuliffe, Tony Rodham, Hillary’s brother, and Harry Reid should have sent warning signals to Republicans.
FOX News reported:
Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., on Tuesday introduced articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing him of having presided over a “reckless abandonment” of border security since taking the helm at DHS.
“Certainly Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have a substantial amount of blame with this, they’re the ones who campaigned on this, but Mayorkas has not pushed back at all,” Biggs told Fox News in an interview. “So he is the guy who is responsible for the border security and national security and it is a disaster down there.”
“He has failed utterly in his duty,” he said.
The resolution introduces two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas. The first accuses him of having “engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his duties as an Officer of the United States.”
“Secretary Mayorkas has failed to faithfully uphold his oath and has instead presided over a reckless abandonment of border security and immigration enforcement, at the expense of the Constitution and the security of the United States,” the first article says.
It comes amid a continued surge in migrant apprehensions at the border that has continued to escalate through the summer months. The Associated Press reports that the initial numbers suggest there were 210,000 apprehensions in July, a dramatic increase over the 78,000 encountered in January.
But, Biggs efforts are just noise because the Democratically controlled House will never vote for impeachment. It would be better to wait until 2025 when Republicans retake the House making such a move.
