House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) called on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to be impeached on Friday, saying the chief border official’s “failure to act” necessitates Congress removing him from his position.
Because Mayorkas has not resigned, “he should be impeached,” Emmer told Breitbart News.
The Minnesota Republican, while speaking during a one-on-one interview in his Capitol Hill office Friday, delved into the heated topic of impeachment, saying the overwhelmed southern border represents the “greatest malfeasance” at the hands of President Joe Biden’s top border official.
“They talk about being humane. Children are disappearing. People are getting killed,” Emmer said. “You’ve got 80 people that have come across the southern border that are on the terrorist watch list.”
Emmer’s comments come the day after Biden lifted the Title 42 border barrier, a policy former President Donald Trump implemented in the name of coronavirus that has served as one of the last tools for border officials to work to stem waves of illegal migration.
Prior to Thursday, the Biden administration had seen more than five million encounters of illegal migrants at the southern border, according to federal data.
“This, to me, is the greatest malfeasance, and malfeasance is — it’s not a failure to act — it’s an intentional failure to act. Mayorkas should be impeached,” Emmer said. “I think we should be talking seriously about that regardless of what this feckless Senate might want to do.”
Emmer, the number three Republican in the House, moreover concluded that the Biden administration has “blood on their hands,” a comment that is similar in gravity to what House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) said one day prior at a press conference.

(”Children are disappearing. People are getting killed,”)
Disruption and chaos. Since 2008.
Nothing is happening to Mayorkas. He will serve out the term, then he will move on to the Ivy League teaching position or Wall Street job that awaits him.
Talk talk talk...
Bunch of do-nothings, worse than democrats who at least get the wrong kind of stuff done, but don’t just yap about it.
Then entire executive branch needs to resign. There is not a single one of them that is worth a damn.
“Then entire executive branch needs to resign. There is not a single one of them that is worth a damn.”
I agree with that. However, the media is carrying the water for them big time and too many people do not realize it.
The time for talking has come and gone. They DO NOT CARE what we say.
Don’t call for it; do it.
Sounds good for the masses...Senate will never convict...this is a waste of time and mere words, just like it always is.
I guess AOC is too busy to protest, right?
Exclusive?
From post-Election Day 2022...
Kevin McCarthy Calls for Alejandro Mayorkas to Resign, Threatens Impeachment if DHS Secretary Resists (11.22.22)
EXACTLY HOW “HUMANE” IS ALL OF THIS WHEN AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE BEING PUT INTO DANGER?????
Republican leadership actually said the “I” word? That’s a good first step, but only if it leads somewhere.
Even if they could get him out of office via impeachment, which they can’t, how would anything change with whomever Biden would replace him with?
Another empty gesture from the GOP wing of the uniparty.
He SHOULD have been IMPEACHED 2 YEARS AGO!
Nothing will be done.
And there was a story a few weeks ago about the discovery of a young girl’s body with over 60 different DNAs in her...
The US feral government and Catholic Charities are participating in human and sex trafficking with the Mexican cartels.
There is no denying it.
And it is all about the money.
Probably went shopping
