Angry and frustrated Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill are demanding the head of the Department of Homeland Security step down in disgrace over the unchecked invasion of tens of thousands of illegal aliens and tons of illicit drugs that are flowing north across the U.S.-Mexico border, but their calls were met this week with excuses and counter-accusations.
During this week’s hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee, Republican members showed up well-prepared to challenge Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the border crisis. As the secretary sat, and as Democrats helplessly watched, one GOP lawmaker after another tore into the DHS boss with a long list of failures.
In one exchange, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) reminded Mayorkas the stated mission of the third-largest federal agency literally promises “security” of the nation’s border, but the Biden administration is failing that mission. The DHS boss, the GOP rep said, is currently in charge when the U.S. Border Patrol has recorded a record-breaking jump in illegal border crossings and a record-breaking drop in deportations of illegal aliens.
Johnson went on to state the view of his fellow GOP lawmakers – and much of the American public – that the overrun border is not accidental, or due to incompetence, but it is being welcomed by the Biden administration and for that Mayorkas deserves to be impeached.
“It is your policies, and because of them,” Rep. Johnson told Mayorkas, “that our entire country is becoming a crime scene.”
In his remarks, Mayorkas blamed the Trump administration and said President Joe Biden “inherited a broken and dismantled system” that is unable to manage what he called the current level of “migratory flows” across the border.
“Only Congress can fix this,” Mayorkas said, placing the blame on the lawmakers in front of him, “and yet we have managed an unprecedented number of non-citizens seeking to enter the United States.”
“Own the moment,” a second frustrated lawmaker, Rep. Clay Higgins, (R-La.), told the DHS boss. “You’ve been called upon to resign by myself and others. Next year, if we have the majority in this committee, which we shall, if you’re still in office you’ll face impeachment.”

I have a great idea, send Alejandro Mayorkas to trial as a traitor, convict him and do the right thing by sending him to a permanent fate called *****! By sending Mayorkas to a permanent fate called *****, the politicians will not be able to give him a get out of jail free card with a pardon!
AND NOT just him. EVERYONE Of these abject traitors, needs to face that same punishment.
“Johnson went on to state the view of his fellow GOP lawmakers – and much of the American public – that the overrun border is not accidental, or due to incompetence, but it is being welcomed by the Biden administration and for that Mayorkas deserves to be impeached.”
No doubt the border crisis is intentional—but there is a high level of incompetence, as well.
“Only Congress can fix this,” Mayorkas said, placing the blame on the lawmakers in front of him, “and yet we have managed an unprecedented number of non-citizens seeking to enter the United States.”
All of these committee hearings—confirmation hearings—investigative hearings—blatantly point out a glaring fact—there is rampant stupidity among the people holding positions within our government. They go to the finest—most expensive—most demanding educational institutions in the Nation—assume positions of power and responsibility—and make complete fools of themselves. There is no way I could contain my anger if I had to interrogate these buffoons on a daily basis. I would lose my cool really quick.
IT DOWN RIGHT is intentional!
Who did away with finishing the wall. While the wall may not completely stop illegal invaders from coming across, it would have made more difficult for the drugs to get here and stop the coyotes from making millions because it is very easy to get the illegal invaders here. Biden’s administration thinks that providing a phone to illegal invaders is going to “ensure” they check in and report as required, lol. Getting rid of Title 42 is just going to make matters worse and biden knows it. Well, maybe he does not know cause he forgets very easily what is what.
More and more, i would just love to go back, say to 1900s, and use prison labor, to DIG A MASSIVE Ditch, 100 meters deep, along the ENTIRE border.. Then use those walls that trump had made, to fill in a long line, across the entire Rio-grande area…
