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.
How much do you want to bet that they never would have impeached if he was named “Alex Mayor” and was born here instead of Cuba?
I’ve been saying this from the start- they went after a non-white administration member first and that was a message.
The nomination approval process, where white people and men sailed through while non-white women where put through the wringer with some of them not even making it, also delivered that message.
The fact that he got a black woman onto the Supreme Court floors me.
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.
