House Impeaches Mayorkas

House Impeaches Mayorkas In Historic Vote
TUESDAY, FEB 13, 2024 - 07:27 PM

Exactly a week after a failed attempt, the House has impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, under whose tenure more than 10 million illegal immigrants have entered the US - doubling the existing population of migrants.

With a vote of 214-213, Mayorkas is the first cabinet official to be impeached since the 1870s.
Last week's effort to impeach Mayorkas failed by one vote because three Republicans voted with all the Democrats against the move. The vote was made possible only by the return of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), who missed last week’s vote while undergoing treatment for blood cancer, according to The Hill.

Mayorkas was accused of demonstrating a "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law," and "breaching the public trust," which Democrats suggested was nothing more than disagreements over policy or performance failings, but not impeachable crimes.

"Secretary Mayorkas is a danger to every American," said Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) on X. "I’m voting to impeach him."

The GOP leaders moved to hold the vote before their majority potentially shrinks even further, with a*closely watched special election Tuesday in New York to replace expelled Republican Rep. George Santos. The race is considered a tossup.

Republicans continued the impeachment effort after rejecting an effort in the Senate to craft a bipartisan border deal to address many of the same issues House conservatives are raising. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) called the Senate’s deal—which paired aid for Ukraine with changes to border policy—dead on arrival, eventually leading most Republicans in the House and Senate to criticize the bill as insufficient. On Tuesday morning, the Senate passed a $95.3 billion package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan that excluded border-policy changes. -WSJ

The fucker willfully allowed our country to be invaded and this is grandstanding? Public hanging is more appropriate but that option seems out of reach. Impeach the traitors if that is all congress can do.

Does he lose his job, goto prison?

Or is this like a POTUS impeachment where nothing happens.

Has to have a trial in the senate, which won't pass so he keeps his job. But at least the GOP did something more than a strongly worded letter for once. He must be held accountable, he's in violation of the law and lied to congress, Senate should convict but they won't. Next step is to take away his salary and strip his department of funding for non-essential operations.

Good riddance. Guy deserves it for allowing this country to be invaded.

Imagine that it came down to a single vote when it should have been an overwhelming majority.

Only the feckless GOP holds any of its own accountable.

The reason this vote was so close is because they ran off that goofy, half queeer bastard from NY, Fenton, Benton, WTF was his name?

George Santos.

Anyhow, they ran him off for campaign finance crimes, IIRC, and today, they just lost that seat.

It's DOA in the Senate. That's what makes it pointless.

The trial will be something, gets the Senate Dems on record as supporting the invasion. All the evidence will be laid out to the American people and the Dems lose control of the Senate next election.
