Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the presumed next Speaker of the House, visited the southern border this week and offered a simple message to Biden DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: Resign or face a possible impeachment.
This is the first visible effort of Republicans to get the southern border under control as they look at taking over the House of Representatives.
Jennifer Van Laar of RedState has a transcript of McCarthy’s words:
“In 42 days the united Republican House takes control. In 42 days we end one party Democrat rule in Washington. The new House Republicans will work to stop Joe Biden’s assault on our laws, our borders, and our border agents. We will use the power of the purse and the power of the subpoena. Now, let me be clear, those responsible for this disaster will be held accountable. I’ve spoken today again with Congressman Jim Jordan and Jamie Comer, the future chair of Oversight and Judiciary committee, and they have my full support to investigate the collapse of our border and the shutdown of ICE enforcement nationwide.“Our country may never recover from Secretary Mayorkas’ dereliction of duty. This is why today I am calling on the Secretary to resign. He cannot and must not remain in that position. If Secretary Mayorkas does not resign, House Republicans will investigate every order, every action, and every failure. We’ll determine whether we can begin an impeachment inquiry.”
