McCarthy Begins To Build Case For Mayorkas Impeachment
TUCSON, Ariz. — Kevin McCarthy began to build the case for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment this week with the California lawmaker’s first trip to the border as House speaker.
McCarthy, speaking to reporters while the southeast Arizona border wall was his background, outlined the numerous crises plaguing America due to unchecked migration. McCarthy also accused DHS Secretary of lying to members of the public.
“Our border, we don’t even have operational control of it anymore,” McCarthy spoke. “This is why I will continue to investigate what has gone wrong here and we will hold people accountable. And that includes Secretary Mayorkas.”
McCarthy spoke out in an exclusive interview after the press conference to The Federalist and stated that there was no timetable for a possible impeachment inquiry. He also maintained that it all depends on the outcome of the legislative investigations over the next weeks.
“You never do impeachment for political purposes,” McCarthy spoke. “If something rises to that level,” He said, “we will follow it wherever it goes.”
McCarthy led the congressional delegation with four GOP freshman, kicking off what will be a top priority for the new Republican majority under the second half of President Joe Biden’s term.

“You cannot tell us this is secure when more than 42 percent of gottaways come through here,” McCarthy stated this on Thursday. “You cannot tell us this border’s secure when now there is enough fentanyl in this country to kill every single American more than 20 times over.”
“This has got to stop,” The speaker continued. “And it starts with the secretary of Homeland. Stop lying to the American public. Tell them the truth [about] what’s happening and change back the regulation that we had before so our border can be secure.”
The White House hit McCarthy’s border trip as a partisan publicity stunt with a Wednesday statement. “Solutions are what President Biden is focused on, and his is plan working,” Ian Sams, White House spokesperson. “House Republicans would be wise to join him to work together to strengthen our immigration system and fund border security.”
