House Homeland Security Committee Holds First Hearing on Impeachment of Mayorkas
“Our evidence makes it clear, Secretary Mayorkas is the architect of the devastation that we have witnessed for nearly three years.”
The House Homeland Security Committee’s hearing on the impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas started today at 10 AM ET.
Mayorkas and the entire Biden administration have failed concerning immigration and border security.
The Committee will call four witnesses:
- Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen
- Oklahoma Attorney General Genter Drummond
- Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey
- Missouri School of Law Professor Frank O. Bowman III
Bowman is the Democrat witness.
“For almost a year the House Committee on Homeland Security has conducted a comprehensive investigation into the causes, costs and consequences of the unprecedented crisis at our southwest border,” said Chairman Mark Green. “Our evidence makes it clear, Secretary Mayorkas is the architect of the devastation that we have witnessed for nearly three years.”

How do they do it? Drummond explained:
Foreign operatives conduct a “straw” purchase of rural property just outside city limits. Sometimes they have a front man lease the real estate. Either way, they take steps to conceal their activities. It is common to see that they have pushed up a berm to prevent visibility from the roads. They often will post armed personnel to stand watch and imply threat.
“…the cartels trafficked 100% of that across the southern border.”

I’m glad Knudsen testified. The northern border is a concern, too:
While the crisis at the southern border is often the focus of attention, the northern border is also a grave concern to me. The border between Montana and Canada is 545 miles long. Recent reports indicate the fentanyl super labs have been proliferating in that country, including in British Columbia, a province directly adjacent to Montana. In one November bust, authorities there seized approximately 55 pounds of fentanyl and 6.5 pounds of fentanyl diluted for distribution, along with 10 industrial-sized barrels worth of chemical precursors. In all, the seizure represents over 2.5 million street doses of the drug.
This is particularly alarming because under Secretary Mayorkas, DHS has made it a common practice to redeploy Border Patrol personnel from states like Montana to the southern border. As this committee has revealed, thousands of Border Patrol agents and officers were relocated between October 2020 and April 2023, with a substantial increase in Federal Fiscal Year 2023.7 I have first-hand knowledge that this includes agents from Montana. Adding insult to injury, the redeployed personnel were not there to help secure the border, but to process and more quickly release illegal aliens into the interior of our country. The redeployments forced stations at the northern border cut back on patrols, and curtail participation in joint law enforcement operations, ultimately lessening their effectiveness to disrupt cross-border smuggling.

Mayorkas is just a front for thr real source of the problem: a President and a party that hate America.
Mayorkas has about as much power to do anything as Lloyd Austin under sedation.
Fire the smug SOB.
This is open and shut. Ignore your instincts, GOP, and don’t screw it up.
You ask a lot.
New Year, New GOP 😁
Apparent Mayorkas told the committee, be careful what you ask for, my replacement will be worse
He’s probably right
That may be true, but he’s not going to be replaced, because even if the House actually does impeach him (which I would advise against) the Senate is sure to acquit him. So it’s an empty threat. Unless he resigns.
House Committee: What do you think should be done concerning the millions of people wading across the Rio Grande to illegally enter our country?
Mayorkas: A bridge would be nice.
But incredibly, their response to a boom in illegal crossings through undeveloped border regions each side of Lukeville was to CLOSE the LEGAL crossing at Lukeville.

White House Orders Cabinet Heads to Inform the “President” If They Cannot Perform Their Duties
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Let me save everyone the time: None of them is capable of performing their duties. Pete Buttigieg fucked off to play mommy for months and months and then have a secret vacay in Portugal and no one even noticed he was gone.

If it were t so true it would be funny
Who the F is running the Country?
WHO?
Probably not, at least not yet.
But WEF is a solid possibility.
Beat me to it.
Most of them can, however, perform their PR roles. The Brandon Operation wants to know when someone won’t be available, one presumes so they can send in the understudy.
NGOs have received tens of millions of tax dollars to transport millions of these invaders all across the country. Congress could cut off the $$$$$ today, and seriously curtail this invasion force, but instead, engage in this failure theater to delude the public that they actually intend to do anything about it.
Speaking of NGOs…

No, it couldn’t. The most it could do is refuse to appropriate any more for this next year. This year’s spending is already appropriated
I don’t give two shits about your ‘hearings’, ‘meetings’ or ‘discussions’.
Call a vote and do it or just shut the hell up you RINO cowards.
Call a vote and do what? Impeach him, so he can go straight to the senate and be acquitted? That is, if the senate even bothers taking it up at all? What good would that do?
The hearings are the whole point. The object is not to impeach him, it’s to make out the case against him and the president he is faithfully serving, as publicly as possible. Make the public understand why they can’t reelect Democrats. Keep the pressure on them. Hearings are the best way to do that, and the only way to supoena the necessary evidence.
Four witnesses, only one from a border state – the Canadian border.
Doing Biden / Obama policies. There’s not enough tar and feathers to cover them all.
Myself, I’d like to see him referred for impeachment for his job existing.
“What, exactly, can your role or organization do as chartered that isn’t on the face a violation of the constitution you swore to uphold when appointed? How about we begin with your daily calendar from last week, vs. the first and fourth amendments.”
His job existing is not a high crime or misdemeanor.
Congress does many things it is not authorized to do, but creating departments isn’t one of them. Congress is authorized to create as many departments as it thinks appropriate, and the president is authorized to appoint secretaries to them, with the senate’s consent.
The things he does in that role are all pursuant to authority Congress gave him and mandates it placed on him. Now you can start in with challenging Congress’s authority to make those laws, but if you go that route, rejecting Wickard and all the other supreme court decisions that expand Congress’s powers beyond anything recognizable to the constitution’s ratifiers, he can turn that around on you by asking you to lay your finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of regulating or restricting immigration. If you want to go all originalist on him, if supreme court decisions are not enough authority for Congress to act, then all immigration laws disappear and you can’t complain about his refusing to enforce laws Congress was never given authority to make. The moment you point to Chae Chan Ping he will point to Wickard and all its progeny.
Well, yeah, BUT it would be a delightful circus.
We impeach him because it’s hard to get Congress in the dock. Congress going after authority they themselves created. Did we have the authoritah to do that?
The question is: are The Feckless R’s rabid enough to do it? We know The Screaming D’s would if they had an admin head they didn’t like.
Hey! good timing!
Maybe you can string this out enough that you won’t have to do anything like state a position.
Great job showing your moral cowardice.
