House Republicans impeach Alejandro Mayorkas in historic vote!

[RicoSuave102954]

The Republican-led House on Tuesday night impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over what they say is his failure to enforce immigration law at the southern border.

He denies that as partisan and "baseless" and Democrats argue the historic impeachment is a political ploy.

It marks just the second time in U.S. history a Cabinet official has been impeached, after William Belknap in 1876.

The articles of impeachment against Mayorkas passed 214-213, with the majority made up of all Republicans and three Republicans voting with Democrats against impeachment. Two Democrats and two Republicans did not vote.

"Alejandro Mayorkas deserves to be impeached, and Congress has a constitutional obligation to do so," House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement. "Next to a declaration of war, impeachment is arguably the most serious authority given to the House and we have treated this matter accordingly."

Johnson blamed Mayorkas for "fueling the worst border catastrophe in American history."

Mayorkas will now face a trial in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Republicans have accused Mayorkas of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust" amid a surge in unauthorized migrant crossings, according to the articles of impeachment against him.

Treason Trash

Now it's put up or shut up time for the Dems in the Senate to send Mayorkas packing.

So stupid. They won’t put up a border bill because “it’s not gonna pass”, but they hold an impeachment vote TWICE that has zero chance to going through.

So, you're admitting the Dems are not serious about securing the Border?

Neither party is.

Walk away from this idiotic take.

Walk away from this idiotic take.

Translation = must deflect from the Biden Administration at all costs.

You get it. Hats off

Sigh…it’s unfortunate how many members of the “normal” GOP voted to impeach.

The GOP is a domestic terrorist organization. All in. None and I repeat none are worthy of any office...

No, it’s just a stupid and wrong take on the issue.

They already passed one. H.R.2.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

They already passed one. H.R.2.

And if the Senate decided to vote on it, Trump would tell every GOP senator to vote against it so Biden doesn’t get a win. You know…like he already has done.

No he wouldn't. Not H.R.2.

And you guys are making too much of Trump having an impact on swaying their vote. Most Rs knew that the senate bill was a joke. They didn't need Trump's input to realize that.

 

[sabula]

The Find-A-Way-To-Do-Nothing House fails again. They must be terribly embarassed by their failure at this point.. cant find a Speaker, can't pass any meaningful legislation... what a boondoggle.

This is said without any detection of sarcasm. Holy hell dude, Trump 1000% runs the GOP.

Letting in 10 million people from God knows where is treason.

Remember the Democrats made impeachment the new normal.

 

[sabula]

Remember the Democrats made impeachment the new normal.

Anyone that tries to overthrow the legal transition of power in the government after losing the election and also blackmail foreign leaders with US assets, deserves to be impeached. Which he was. Twice.

 

[joelbc1]

So Rico, what was “historic” about this vote? It took’em twice to pass the impeachment charge??
That’s just piss-poor management…Nancy got hers passed the first time….both times.

San Diego border agents arrest 269 Chinese migrants in a single day​

San Diego border agents arrest 269 Chinese migrants in a single day
San Diego Border Patrol agents have faced an untenable flood of Chinese migrants sneaking over the border each day, raising fears over the growing influence of the hostile state in the US. Border sources claim that 269 Chinese migrants were apprehended by CBP officials in a single day this week, according to Fox News ' Bill Melugin - with the number not including those who manage to cross undetected. Chinese nationals now make up the largest growing demographic of migrants crossing the porous US-Mexico border. And 2024 is already well on-track to easily exceed the staggering 37,000 Chinese migrants who were apprehended by the CBP in the 2023 fiscal year.

So far in the 2024 fiscal year, which began in October, over 20,000 Chinese migrants have been apprehended. In 2021, this number stood at just 342. It comes after a US Border Patrol chief warned that his agents are being overwhelmed by the flood of Chinese migrants, fearing poor verification measures mean they could be missing Communist spies, DailyMail.com revealed last week . Fears over the soaring rate of Chinese nationals crossing into the US comes as the nation continues to grow its real estate holdings in the US, raising questions over whether regulations should be put in place to halt the CCP's potential influence in the US.

In total, the CBP has tracked over one million migrant encounters since October, the earliest the mark has ever been reached in a fiscal year - with mounting scrutiny falling on the number that are hailing from China. Among those seeking asylum, some have been found to have links with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated People's Liberation Army (PLA), but border chiefs are concerned more could be slipping through their grasp. Chief Patrol Agent Anthony Good, of the Border Patrol’s El Paso Sector, told the Homeland Security Committee during a private hearing in September last year that his agents were 'trying their best to figure out why [individuals from other continents are] coming' but that 'information can be hidden' and 'their agendas, their ideologies, the reason for them coming could be missed'.

'While it is true that some individuals may be seeking relief from authoritarian regimes, there is no way for our brave men and women on the frontlines of this crisis to adequately vet all of them before being effectively forced to release them—particularly when countries like China won’t allow us access to their various law enforcement databases. 'My Committee has been informed that some of these Chinese nationals have even been found to be affiliated with the People’s Liberation Army and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—and those are just the ones we’ve been able to vet. 'As the CCP works to undermine and infiltrate our institutions and even military installations, Secretary Mayorkas has made it clear to the entire world that our borders are open.

What could possibly go wrong with this “dream team” leading the charge?
High comedy is in the offing!

Even if Trump wins. The House is going to flip D. And the bill they would agree to wont be nearly as good as the Senate’s. Cruz and Sessions have admitted it.
