Marjorie Taylor Greene pushes for impeachment vote against Alejandro Mayorkas
The House of Representatives is expected to meet next week to make a decision on the case.
Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives to vote on a possible impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Taylor Greene on Thursday filed an impeachment resolution against Mayorkas for "blatantly violating his oath of office" by "aiding and abetting the complete invasion" of the country. The representative's measure was presented as "privileged," requiring the vote to be carried out within two legislative days. However, as the House is adjourned until Monday, the decision is expected to be made next week.
"Every week in America, the same amount of Americans die that were killed in Israel by Hamas terrorists all because of Secretary Mayorkas's bitter refusal to secure our Southern border, which he could easily do today. The utter disregard for American life displayed by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas can no longer be ignored," said the Republican representative.
In her community, Taylor Greene highlighted the record increase in border encounters, large seizures of fentanyl and the captures of people on terrorist watch lists. Likewise, she noted the increase in "escapes" of illegal aliens and the growing number of undocumented children who are arriving unaccompanied at the border.
"As a result of intentionally failing to secure our homeland and putting the lives of every American in danger from his very first day in office, Alejandro Mayorkas is unfit to hold the office of Secretary of Homeland Security and must be impeached," indicates the representative's text.
