BOOM – House Republican Files Articles Of Impeachment Against DHS Sec. Mayorkas
In November The Heritage Foundation published; The Next Congress Should Impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
- Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has sparked a historic border crisis and sacrificed our national security at the altar of the Left’s open-borders agenda.
- Convicted and violent criminals, gang members, and potential terrorists are slipping by in droves.
- He has had 18 months to admit his failure and change course—or resign in protest. He has done neither. He has shown his complete contempt for the law.
In the same month, when visiting the southern border, Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called on Mayorkas to resign for not enforcing immigration laws, intentionally leaving the border open, further endangering the citizens of the United States.
“If Secretary Mayorkas does not resign, House Republicans will investigate every order, every action, and every failure and will determine whether we can begin impeachment inquiry.”
In what has to be concerning to the political left, especially those in our nation’s capital, the GOP-led 118th Congress is already following through on their campaign promises, which include replacing the Communist Cuban-born Mayorkas.
Following McCarthy being elected as the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives last weekend, the GOP’s first passed legislation defunding the 87,000 new IRS agents included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
During his swearing-in ceremony, Texas Republican Rep. Pat Fallon promised to file impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to secure the southern border.
Well, Fallon just followed through with his promise. He filed articles of impeachment against U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for “high crimes and misdemeanors”
The resolution accuses Mayorkas of not “maintaining operational control” over the U.S. border. Fallon cites the secretary’s attempt to eliminate Title 42, ending the Migrant Protection Protocols and terminating contracts for additional border wall construction.
The articles of impeachment came in late Monday but were originally filed on Jan. 3. They have been delayed because of the prolonged House speaker vote.
“Since day one, Secretary Mayorkas’ policies have undermined law enforcement activities at our southern border,” Fallon said in a statement last week.
“From perjuring himself before Congress about maintaining operational control of the border to the infamous ‘whip-gate’ slander against our border patrol agents, Secretary Mayorkas has proven time and time again that he is unfit to lead the Department of Homeland Security,”
“His willful actions have eroded our immigration system, undermined border patrol morale, and jeopardized American national security. He has violated the law and it is time for him to go,” Fallon added.
Fox News reported:
While there is currently no text available for the impeachment articles filed against Mayorkas, Fox News reported last week that Fallon’s first article alleges that Mayorkas has failed to faithfully execute the “Secure the Fence Act of 2006.” The article says that law requires the secretary of Homeland Security to “maintain operational control over the entire international land and maritime borders of the United States.”
The second article alleges that Mayorkas, “in violation of his constitutional oath, willfully provided perjurious, false, and misleading testimony to Congress.” To back up that charge, the article quotes Mayorkas’ testimony during April 26 and Nov. 15 congressional hearings in which he said the border was secure.
The final of the three articles charges that Mayorkas “publicly and falsely slandered” border agents who were accused – but later cleared – of whipping Haitian migrants in Del Rio, Texas, in 2021.
“The 511-page report by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Personal Responsibility found ‘no evidence that [Border Patrol agents] involved in this incident struck, intentionally or otherwise, any migrant with their reins,’” Fallon explained.
“Secretary Mayorkas slandered his own Border Patrol agents and TXDPS Troopers involved in this incident, contributing to a further decrease in already-low morale among agents,” Fallon added.
