Marjorie Taylor Greene is pushing to have the Biden-appointed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas impeached over the southern border crisis.
Mayorkas recently testified in the Senate for his role in the southern border crisis.
According to the Homeland Security website:
Since President Biden took office, there have been 7.5 million encounters nationwide and 6.2 million encounters at the Southwest border, in addition to 1.7 million known gotaways.
Our southern border is being invaded, and the Biden administration, along with Mayorkas, has done nothing to stop it.
Marjorie Taylor Greene should be commended for her consistent action against those who threaten our country.
Many Republicans call out problems and then do nothing to solve the issues.
ABC News shares more on Marjorie Taylor Greene’s push for impeachment:
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday introduced a resolution calling for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of the southern border.
The so-called privileged resolution requires the House to vote on the matter within two legislative days. likely next Monday or Tuesday.
The resolution accuses Mayorkas of high crimes and misdemeanors related to migrants and drugs crossing the southern border.
Taking up the measure will take up time on the House floor in the coming days, even as time is running out for Congress to avert a government shutdown in eight days
When ABC News asked Greene why she introduced the impeachment resolution now, she answered, “Because these people just died yesterday.” She pointed to a photo that she said showed two constituents killed during what police said was a car chase with suspected human smugglers near San Antonio.
“People are dying every single day in America because Secretary Mayorkas is breaking the law, breaking his oath of office. So, nothing matters more than that,” she said.\

USA Today shares more on the story:
Greene said Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, who represents a border district, supports the resolution and will be working with her to try to build support among Republican members to impeach Mayorkas. She called House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Thursday morning to give notice of her impeachment push but failed to get in touch with him, Greene added.
“I hope (Johnson) supports it,” Greene said. “I think everyone in our conference and I would hope Democrats as well would support impeaching someone that is breaking the law through his job and breaking his oath of office.”
The resolution comes after two of Greene’s constituents were killed in a car accident after a car suspected of carrying smuggled migrants fled from police and crashed in a chase, she said.
Greene’s resolution accuses Mayorkas of “willful admittance of border crossers, terrorists, human traffickers, drugs, and other contraband” and says that he “has failed to maintain operational control of the border,”
“Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, in his failure to uphold the oath he took, has, by his actions, lost the trust of citizens of the United States to faithfully execute the laws of the United States,” the resolution concludes.
I hope that the resolution makes it through the House and Senate.
We need people in our government who are motivated to protect this country, not let millions of illegal immigrants invade it.
Democrats don’t care about protecting this country.
They care about securing more voters by funneling in hordes of illegal immigrants.
