The New House Majority Must Impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
The new House Republican majority will be sworn into office this week. They have no other choice than to use the only tool at their disposal to highlight the crisis at the border. This is Alejandro Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary. His acts of nonfeasance include acting on the president’s orders and presiding over a situation in which the border is, for all intents and purposes, being erased.
GOP moderates — many of whom are members in good standing of the Washington uniparty — think they are obligated to pursue “governance.” This sets up a conflict in which anything the new majority does that is aimed more at exposing the administration’s catastrophic policies will be skewered as mere obstructionism and proof that Republicans are incapable of governing.
But they can — and must — ignore those criticisms given the almost complete breakdown of efforts to prevent illegal immigration in the last two years.
GOP moderates may be inclined to ignore the security dilemma and simply move to grant a path to citizenship to people who were brought into the country illegally as children — the so-called “Dreamers.” The vast majority of conservatives, as well as many border state Democrats, know that encouraging further illegal immigration is unacceptable, regardless of how well-intentioned, such as in the case with the Dreamers. The Democrats’ effort to secure a new, broader amnesty is at the heart of the current crisis.
Mayorkas will not be thrown out of office since the Democratic Senate will never convict him even if the GOP’s narrow House majority impeaches him, and it will be labeled as grandstanding and a colossal waste of time. They can now bring this disaster to the public with the help of hearings and other stunts. It is the only option available to those who understand that the consequences of what is happening at the border are so serious that business as usual or playing by the conventional rules of Washington politics simply isn’t good enough.
These are the latest statistics on illegal immigration as of November 2022. They show the severity of the problem. A record number of illegal immigrants arrived in November 2022, an unprecedented amount. 233,740 illegals They were arrested at the border. This was a 1 % increase over October’s total, which was a new record for the month. Additionally, more than 73,000 migrants escaped capture at border crossings was estimated, another record. The fiscal year ended September with data for Customs and Border Protection. 2.76 millionThis year, the record was broken by over a million.
This means that more than 4,000,000 illegals have crossed the border since Biden took office. These numbers are expected to surpass all estimates for the next year.
Record numbers appear at a moment when people believe that the Biden administration is over.
