GOP Charges Mayorkas in Impeachment, Dems Dismiss the Charges

This week, the House transmitted the impeachment papers of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Mayorkas to the Senate.

Senior GOP Impeachment Manager Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) claimed that Mayorkas has rewarded Mexican Cartels and killed thousands of migrants.

All that was for naught, however, as Democrats dismissed the charges before the trial ever started.

Murderer Set Free

Green hammered Mayorkas while presenting the impeachment papers, telling the media, “Mayorkas’ unlawful mass release of apprehended aliens and unlawful mass grant of categorical parole to aliens have enticed an increasing number of aliens to make the dangerous journey to our Southwest border. Consequently, according to the United Nations’ International Organization for Migration (IOM), the number of migrants intending to illegally cross our border who have perished along the way, either en route to the United States or at the border, almost doubled during the tenure of Alejandro N. Mayorkas as secretary of Homeland Security from an average of about 700 a year during the fiscal years 2017 through 2020 to an average of about 1,300 a year during fiscal year 2021 through 2023.”

Just as we expected, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) floored the charges, and Democrats immediately moved to dismiss each charge.

The vote fell along party lines, and before you knew it, the impeachment was over with no trial being held.

Schumer then stated that impeachment should not be for political issues, shutting it down cold.

The GOP went ballistic, as we would expect, especially since Republicans held the impeachment trials against Donald Trump when the GOP had control of the Senate.

Andrew McCarthy, a former chief assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York and a senior fellow at the National Review Institute, stated, "The Senate has no constitutional authority to rule that the articles approved by the House do not state impeachable offenses.”

McCarthy later added that dismissing the charges in this fashion “nullifies the House’s important role in the impeachment process.”

McCarthy also believes that Democrats will take a “big hit” during the election cycle for this.

I was 100% behind this impeachment, but only because I thought we would see a trial and it would enable Republicans to hit Democrats very hard on how rogue Mayorkas has gone regarding our immigration laws at the border.

Like McCarthy, I never believed we would see a conviction, but the media had virtually ignored this issue, so I would have rolled the dice here myself.

We can only hope McCarthy is right and the American people will see the duplicity of Democrats on this issue when it is time to vote in November.
