“Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.” That is the U.S. Constitution’s standard for impeaching federal officials and removing them from office. Alejandro Mayorkas crossed that line a long time ago.
As Secretary of Homeland Security, Mayorkas is responsible for border security, immigration enforcement, and protecting American soil from foreign terrorists. For two-and-a-half years, he has ignored these responsibilities and endangered our nation.
Mayorkas has not simply overseen the worst border crisis in American history — he triggered it. He cultivated it. He practically celebrates it. Mayorkas likes that 1.7 million illegal immigrants entered America in 2021 and loves that the number spiked to 2.7 million last year!
Global terror networks love it too.
Under Donald Trump, it was almost impossible for terrorists to enter the country. U.S. Border Patrol encountered only 11 individuals on the FBI’s terror watch list during Trump’s entire four-year term in the White House. But in just two years of the Biden-Mayorkas open borders fiasco, almost 200 suspected terrorists have arrived!
On Mayorkas’s watch, the border has become a crime-ridden, humanitarian nightmare. Drug cartels are making billions in exploiting, abusing, and assaulting women and children. None of this has happened in a vacuum. It’s not a “tragedy” — it’s Biden and Mayorkas’s policy.
The violence and crime. The human and drug trafficking. The lawlessness and addiction. Alejandro Mayorkas made it happen.
And he must be held accountable.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) has been methodically investigating Mayorkas’s derelictions of duty. To his credit, he is not prosecuting this case on cable TV or Twitter. This is a serious inquiry, amassing the evidence necessary to remove Mayorkas from office.
Under Donald Trump, Democrats turned Congress’s impeachment powers into a partisan circus. Green is instead turning the Homeland Security Department’s circus of impeachable conduct into an opportunity to restore constitutional accountability.
None of this would happen without the House Freedom Caucus, the House Freedom Fund, and you. Chairman Green, as you may know, is a member of the Freedom Caucus. So are five other Republican members of his committee.
As the Mayorkas investigation shows, principled, conservative warriors are now in the middle of the fight to take back Congress and Washington for the American people.
HFF is proud to support Congressman Green and other conservatives like him.
Impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas will not by itself save America — but it’s a necessary first step that is only possible because of the hard work of committed, grassroots conservatives like you.
