A Republican lawmaker announced plans Friday to file articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, calling him a “threat” to the country’s security.
The move by Rep. Andy Biggs, Arizona Republican, is unlikely to go anywhere in the Democrat-controlled House, but it underscores a growing sense of worry among some members of Congress over the direction the Department of Homeland Security has taken in the Biden administration.
Mr. Biggs pinned that on Mr. Mayorkas.
“As a result of his actions and policies, America is more in danger today than when he began serving as secretary,” the congressman said. “He is willfully refusing to maintain operational control of the border and is encouraging aliens to enter our country illegally.”
Mr. Biggs said that amounted to a dereliction of duty to Mr. Mayorkas’s oath of office.
Impeachment requires a majority vote in the House, but removal would take a two-thirds vote in the Senate, which is even less likely than House impeachment.
Mr. Mayorkas is in his second stint at the department. In the Obama administration, he served as head of the legal immigration agency, then as deputy secretary at Homeland Security.
Through six months of his new tenure, he has overseen an unprecedented surge of children, families and extracontinental migrants, with some Republicans blaming a portion of the latest COVID-19 surge on the migrants.

Do away with DHS and FBI.
File this in that round container next to his desk. No way the dems are going to stop what he is doing.
SPJNK.
Just Do It!
Excellent!!!
The Left has repeatedly demonstrated how today’s empty, fringe threats become tomorrow’s policies. Conservatives need to start following this model.
THis is about as excellent as trying to catch a greased pig in on Vaseline covered linoleum. Ain’t gonna happen while demoncraps hold both chambers of Congress hostage.
This is something that people have been telling repubes not to do: broadcast what they are going to do. They need to focus on getting the majority in the Upper and Lower Chambers then (without announcing) introduce the articles of impeachment.
STOP broadcasting ahead of time what you are going to do and just do it then talk about it when it comes to matters like these.
Every time a repube broadcasts something llike this they are 1) seeking air time as in “look at me!” or 2) they want something the demoncraps will throw in the way of scraps towards the repube to get him to stop. Either way ain’t gonna happen right now.
Go for it Andy. Mayorkas is both an existential threat to our national security and one of the stupidest govt officials I’ve ever heard.
Anything you can do to cripple this mental midget and pro-illegal immigrant invasions is a PLUS for the safety of our Homeland Security.
Bravo to Biggs!!!!
