Dear John,
In a stunning display of partisanship, the Democratic-majority U.S. Senate has shamefully dismissed impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. This unprecedented move marks a departure from historical norms, as never before has the Senate dismissed impeachment charges against an official without the individual resigning beforehand.
The charges against Mayorkas accused him of failing to enforce U.S. border laws and lying to Congress, amidst a surge of illegal immigration under the Biden administration. Despite record-breaking numbers of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, Senate Democrats have chosen to endorse the Biden administration’s reckless open-border policies.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, along with fellow top Republicans, rightly condemned this dismissal, highlighting the Senate Democrats' complicity in enabling dangerous border policies. The U.S. Border Patrol's alarming statistics, with over 1 million arrests of migrants in the past six months alone, underscore the severity of the crisis ignored by Senate Democrats.
Mayorkas, a former federal prosecutor born in Cuba, has attempted to shift blame onto Congress for the border surge, hoping to exploit the crisis to push through a reckless 30 million illegal immigrant amnesty policy. This blatant disregard for the rule of law and national security is unacceptable.
Despite calls from top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell for a thorough consideration of the charges, the Senate has chosen to evade its responsibility to hold a legitimate public hearing.
Senator John Kennedy's impassioned appeal for action reflects the frustration felt by many citizens, as the Senate continues to turn a blind eye to the lawlessness within the DHS administration.
Yesterday's events mark a dark day for our nation's democracy, as the Senate abandons its duty to uphold the Constitution and protect the interests of the American people. The House hearings have laid bare the devastating impact of the DHS's lawlessness, yet the Senate remains inert, failing to act in the face of undeniable evidence.
It is now more crucial than ever for the American people to demand accountability from their elected officials and ensure that justice prevails. The Senate's failure to act must not go unanswered, and we must continue to fight for the integrity of our nation's borders and the rule of law.
