The Republican-controlled House voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.
The vote marks the first time in nearly 150 years that a Cabinet secretary has been impeached.
House Republicans have spent months investigating the secretary’s actions as they’ve aimed to make immigration and border security a key election issue.
What happens next is it goes to the Senate for a dog and pony show and dies.
Same thing that would have happened if this failed this vote, absolutely nothing. This is just the Republicans throwing a temper tantrum to drum up news coverage and to give the talking heads over on Faux News something to yammer on about for a while. Expect to see the headline “Crisis at the Border” used prominently by Faux for a while.
I’ve been saying this from the start- they went after a non-white administration member first and that was a message.
The approval process, where white men sailed through while non-white women where put through the wringer with many of them not even making it, also delivered that message.
The fact that he got a black woman onto the Supreme Court floors me.
