House Republicans impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the open border problem is a completely stupid move and is even worse than that because it will set a precedent that Congress can impeach Cabinet Secretary's over policy differences. Whatever Mayorkas did or did not do in regards to the border issue he was just implementing the policy of President Joe Biden, Full Stop, The Issue Is That Simple! What the hell are you Republicans doing you are going to make our government going forward more dysfunctional as Congress explores and pursues impeaching Cabinet officials in the future. This low standard for impeachment is going to come back to bite the Republicans big-time if Donald Trump wins the Presidency this year because if Democrats win the House and they very much might I think you have forty-nine House Republicans not standing (open seats are harder for possessing Party to hold onto) for reelection with this impeachment tool the Republican are creating the Democrats are going to tie the Trump administration into knots, they are going to paralyze a second Trump administration. A second Trump administration is going to try to shut down the border which anyone that believes in the rule of law knows you can't because these illegal immigrants have a right to asylum so once the Trump appointee makes this move even though the Court system will enjoin this move super quickly, the Secretary will have broken the law so the Democrats can impeach the Secretary and that will impede the Trump administration's effort to do things like mass deportation of illegal immigrants residing throughout the country as the Secretary's time will be full defending the impeachment. What anyone that really knows Trump knows that in his second term he is going to blow away all records in firing Federal government civil servants and federal employees under the auspices that he is saving America from the Deep State, this supposed bureaucracy that fights and ignores the officially elected President's administration and his appointees; if Democrats are on the ball during confirmation hearings they are going to get the cabinet and agency candidates to commit to not doing this government employee purge, the Deep State purge. Now once these Cabinet and Agency officials become installed Trump will go off his rocker that these appointees aren't doing the purge which will boost his reputation as a great Maga President that eliminated the Deep State (the fact that he is eliminating people with irreplaceable experience and talent and making the country weaker doesn't matter) and so Trump will turn the screws on these people and they will begin the purge. Once they cross that line pursuant to the Republican standard on impeachment they can be impeached for being dishonest to Congress they said they wouldn't do a purge but then they did! This will result in the Attorney General, the FBI director, the National Security Advisor being impeached. Further anyone that knows Trump knows the Affordable Care Act ain't surviving a Trump second term, Trump will instruct the Secretary of DHHS to not enforce the ACA mandates against the states let the states offer much cheaper health insurance the fact they do it by giving the shaft to people with a preexisting condition doesn't matter to Trump he campaigned on repealing Obamacare, he hates Obama, Obamacare is getting defacto repealed. Based on the Republican standard of impeachment once the Secretary begins disregarding provisions of the ACA that Secretary can be and will be impeached. Many more scenarios could be listed where Trump's cabinet and officials will not follow the law and pursuant to the new Republican standard an impeachment action will be triggered. If Republicans do this Mayorkas impeachment and Trump wins in November and the Democrats get the House the payback on impeachments will be epic it will make it into the history books!
It is really mind boggling how stupid the Republicans are in impeaching Mayorkas. To ordinary Americans they perceive this situation like this the House Republicans are impeaching Mayorkas for failing to do his job and allowing an open border but the House Republicans have the means to stop this open border and get control of the border in the Senate Bi-partisan Border Protection bill but have rejected it because they want to use the border issue as an election and the Republican presumptive Presidential nominee Trump conveyed his will to House Republicans not to give the Democrat presumptive nominee Joe Biden a legislative win this year which passing the bipartisan border bill would do. The Republicans with this impeachment move are just highlighting they are putting Party over country! House Republicans are dumb on another front if they impeach Mayorkas Senate Democrat Majority leader could make a big spectacle of his impeachment trial in the Senate and its been my observation that most Senators both Republicans and Democrats have a high regard for the rule of law which in the area requires that to have an impeachment the official has to have committed a high crime or misdemeanor which Mayorkas didn't, the real issue here is a policy difference and most Republican Senators recognize this. The results of a Senate trial could leave seventy-five Senators voting against impeachment and this would leave House Republicans looking really bad.
If the House Republicans impeach Mayorkas the underlying facts on the border issue will make the Republicans look real bad. I have heard that the Department under Mayorkas has turned away and deported more illegal immigrants at the border in three years than Trump did during his whole term. The country of Mexico has come out publicly and said that they are not accepting and will not in the future accept illegal immigrants with asylum claim for America back in their country to wait to have their asylum claim heard! If Mayorkas tried to shut down the Border, asylum advocates would run to the federal court and have that shut down enjoined within three weeks.
In the beginning of this Impeach Mayorkas campaign I heard a lot of House Republicans claim Mayorkas lied to Congress when he said his Department has operational control of the border and so he must be impeached for this statement; members of Congress should have the highest regard for the law the way the law defines operational control is that it is an extremely high standard honestly if there are any people illegally emigrating to America through the nation's border the Department does not have operational control of the border meaning any Secretary in the last fifty years that made a representation that the U.S. government has operational control on the border lied since the President Ronald Reagan years immigrants have continually illegally entered America through our southern Border; selective impeachment is unfair and probably violates the U.S. Constitution.
