GOP's Ken Buck opposes Mayorkas impeachment
Just the News ^ | 2/1/24 | Ben Whedon

Posted on 02/01/2024 1:53:02 PM PST by cotton1706

Colorado Republican Rep. Ken Buck on Thursday indicated he would not support an effort to impeachment Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, contending that such a move lacked a valid basis.

The Republican indicated he was unconvinced of the merits of the impeachment articles the Homeland Security Committee approved earlier this week which accuse Mayorkas of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law," among other things.

"I've talked to constitutional experts on the outside. I’ve talked to former members about the impact that this would have in the future," he told reporters. "The people I'm talking to... agree that this just isn't an impeachable offense." He further described himself as a "solid" no on the impeachment vote.

Buck isn't running again, so doesn't feel any pressure from his constituents.

So he is free to be a Democrat helpmate.

What is wrong with these people? What would Mayorkas have to do before Buck would impeach him?

I would say he’s an embarrassment to us here in Colorado, but ever since this state descended into deep blue hell, our list of embarrassments is long and distinguished. Buck’s foolishness is just one more thing to toss on the pile.

I might otherwise agree with Buck (its a useless measure) BUT passing in the House will put Dem Senators up for re-election with a choice to agree with Biden’s policy of unlimited, unrestricted immigration or to oppose it.

It is Biden who should be impeached. May is just his buttboy

............and the ever popular another reason why Biden should be in prison
Biden should be serving up to 5 years in prison
It is a crime to encourage illegal immigration :
8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens
(a) Criminal penalties
(1)
(A) Any person who—
(iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or
(v)
(I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or
(II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts, shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).
*** 😎 A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs—
(i) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i) or (v)(I) or in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), or (iv) in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;
(ii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v)(II), be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;
