Rep. Andy Biggs to file impeachment articles against DHS chief over border crisis
Fox News ^ | 8/7/2021 | Adam Shaw

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., announced Friday that he intends to file articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, citing the administration’s handling of the crisis at the southern border.

"Secretary Mayorkas is a threat to the sovereignty and security of our nation," Biggs said in a statement. "As a result of his actions and policies, America is more in danger today than when he began serving as Secretary."

Biggs is not the first Republican to criticize the administration, and Mayorkas specifically, for the crisis at the southern border -- which has seen a dramatic surge in migrant encounters that has shown little sign of slowing down. However, introducing articles of impeachment would be an escalation of that criticism.

Republican critics of the administration’s policies have blamed the rollback of Trump-era policies like the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), the ending of border wall construction, limited application of Title 42 public health protections and the narrowing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) priorities for fueling the surge.

He is correct but a minority in the REPUBLICAN wing of the DNC Socialist Party.

Sorry, won’t work because he/she is subordinate to Biden, and that ain’t gonna happen.

Nancy will rip it up like she did the state of the Union speech. Wouldn’t surprise me if she did that on national tv as well.

Heard a news bite that confirms my giving up watching or listening to mainstream news propaganda once again.

The secretary said “We are continuing to make great strides in our handling of the border. Our main struggle is against the four lost years of the bad policy in place by the last Administration. Our financial aid to the countries will eliminate the need for large migrations but we’re making up for that lost time.”

UNBELIEVABLE

Biden ought to be the one to be impeached. The DHS head is just a bureaucratic flunky carrying out Biden’s wishes.

Impeach? When you have organizations where the only way to get rid of these people is a 2/3rd vote of no confidence, its time to defund the agency!

Lindsey Graham has been one of the biggest traitors to conservatives. Hannity had him on his show constantly as he said he would “get to the bottom” of who was responsible for the Russian collusion hoax. He had the entire last year of Trump’s presidency to do something and all he did was talk (and rake in money). Then, he and Hannity spoke about how 99 percent of the FBI agents were good upstanding people. I got so sick of that spiel, that I turned Hannity off for good.

Oh, he'll "get to the bottom" of someone, all right. Just not the person who was responsible for the Russia Russia Russia garbage. Right, Linda?
