House Republicans Divided on Impeachment of Mayorkas, Bringing Chaos to the Border
In a shocking turn of events, several House Republicans have expressed uncertainty about whether or not they will support articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. This news comes as no surprise considering the disastrous policies Mayorkas has implemented since President Biden took office.
Mayorkas, who is supposed to oversee immigration and border security, has been an utter failure in both areas. The number of foreign nationals illegally entering and remaining in the United States has skyrocketed to over 6.2 million under his watch. It’s a complete and utter disaster.

The House Homeland Security Committee has now marked up two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, a move that should be applauded by all Americans who care about the rule of law. However, it seems that some House Republicans are wavering in their support for holding Mayorkas accountable.
Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, who is not seeking reelection, claimed he is still reviewing the documents before making a final decision. Really, McHenry? There is no need to review anything. It’s crystal clear that Mayorkas has failed miserably at his job. The evidence is right in front of your eyes.
Even Republican Rep. Greg Pence of Indiana, the brother of former Vice President Mike Pence, seemed unsure if he would support the articles of impeachment. Come on, Pence! It’s time to take a stand and support the removal of this incompetent Homeland Security Secretary.
And let’s not forget about Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, who said he’s “still looking” at the articles. Seriously, Newhouse? The American people need decisive leaders who will stand up for the rule of law, not politicians who waffle and flip-flop on important issues.
If these Republicans, and potentially others, fail to support the articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, it could spell disaster for our nation. With the slim majority that Republicans hold in the House, every vote counts. We cannot afford to let this opportunity slip through our fingers.
On the other hand, there are some Republicans who have seen the light and are now supporting the impeachment effort. Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California, while admitting he doesn’t love the language of the articles, understands the need to send a strong message to President Biden. Good for you, Issa! It’s about time someone in Congress took a stand against the Biden administration’s destructive policies.
Despite the division within the Republican Party, there is still hope that justice will prevail. Retiring Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado has already stated that he will not support Mayorkas’ impeachment. With his opposition, along with others who may join him, the vote on the articles could fail by just one vote. That would be a tragic missed opportunity.
It’s essential for every member of Congress to come to their own conclusion on this matter. However, it is clear to anyone with a functioning brain that Mayorkas has been an abysmal failure as Homeland Security Secretary. Policy differences are not grounds for impeachment, you say? Well, when those policies directly result in the endangerment of our national security, it’s time for action.
In conclusion, it is crucial that House Republicans put their differences aside and come together to support the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas. Our nation’s security and the integrity of our borders hang in the balance. Let’s hope they make the right choice and protect the American people from this administration’s dangerous incompetence.
