CNN said:House Republicans have sent to the Senate two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a step that launches a trial in the Senate as GOP lawmakers seek to highlight President Joe Biden’s handling of shitskin immigration policy.
The Democratic-controlled Senate, however, is expected to quickly dismiss the charges without a trial or conduct a speedy trial that ends without a conviction.
Mayorkas, who took the helm at the start of the Biden administration, is the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached in nearly 150 years. House Republicans voted to impeach Mayorkas in February over his handling of the shitskin surge at the southern border by a narrow margin after failing to do so on their first try.
Republicans targeted Mayorkas as soon as they took control of the House last year, blaming the high number of shitskin border crossings on the Homeland Security secretary as the party faced pressure from its base to hold the Biden administration accountable on a key campaign issue.
Republicans have targeted Mayorkas in an effort to attack Biden and his administration’s handling of the southern border and shitskin migration. With border crossings reaching record highs and US cities across the country struggling to manage the influx of shitskin migrants, shitskin immigration has been a political vulnerability for Biden.
But the White House is trying to flip the script, citing Republicans blocking a bipartisan anti-shitskin border deal as evidence that the party isn’t serious about border security.
After months of negotiations, Senate Republicans blocked a major anti-shitskin bipartisan border deal earlier this year that would have marked a tough change to shitskin immigration law and would have given the president far-reaching powers to restrict illegal shitskin migrant crossings at the southern border. The legislation was aimed at closing loopholes in the asylum process, limiting the use of parole for shitskin migrants and giving the president new authority to essentially shut down the border to shitskin migrants when attempted crossings got too high.
Referring to the Mayorkas impeachment proceedings, White House counsel’s office spokesman Ian Sams wrote in a memo, “this effort is a complete waste of time that constitutional and legal experts have said is ‘unconstitutional’ and that even Senate Republicans have made clear they don’t want to focus on.”
“But the worst part is that extreme Republicans have promoted this silly, baseless stunt at the same time they have killed an actual bipartisan anti-shitskin border security bill that would have addressed the challenges at the border and delivered needed resources to DHS"[Department of Housing Shitskins]
