The talk of the town in Washington this week is that the House has impeached Mayorkas. It's been a long time coming, and I'm mighty relieved we've managed to see it through.
This is the first time since 1876 that a Cabinet secretary has been impeached, so it’s a big deal. But that’s because the situation happening at our border is a big deal—and America deserves better than a leader who sticks his head in the sand and ignores one of the greatest threats to our national security, then lies about it under oath.
As Speaker Johnson put it, Mayorkas has done more damage than any Cabinet secretary in U.S. history. He should have known this was coming down the pipeline.
Border encounters have reached all-time highs month after month, but the Department of Homeland Security routinely fails to release the numbers in a timely manner. Their usual song and dance is a thief-in-the-night approach where they dump the statistics three weeks after the end of the month on a Friday or Saturday when no one’s looking.
Meanwhile, these migrants are pouring into every corner of our country—and surprise, surprise—even the bleeding-heart liberals have had enough. In Chicago, Democrats are ready to throw out the whole sanctuary city moniker, and in New York City, Mayor Eric Adams continues to sound the alarm about resources running dry. After years of touting their willingness to take everyone in, they finally got what they wanted—and they don’t like it. Imagine that!
The writing’s on the wall here, folks: everyone is fed up with what’s happening at our southern border. In fact, 80% of Americans say our government is doing a lousy job handling the migrant influx.
If Mayorkas had his head on straight, he’d admit defeat and pack up his office. We need a DHS leader who is dedicated to upholding the rule of law and protecting our homeland—what a concept.
Our efforts may crash and burn in the Democrat-controlled Senate, but I can sleep well at night knowing we did the right thing in the House.
