The Democrats’ control of the media can muddy the waters on the heinous immigration bill. Republicans need something dramatic to prove irrefutably that, no matter what individual Democrats
say
, they’re all rooting for the destruction of America.
The only way to lay the blame for the immigration Armageddon at Democrats’ feet, where it belongs, is to make them vote on Mayorkas’ impeachment. (You always forget this, Republicans, but you don’t have the media.)
Almost none of the “migrants” Biden is admitting have a credible fear of persecution, the requirement for asylum. They’re coming here for the welfare and criminal opportunities after having wrecked their own countries.
But even those found to have a credible fear of persecution must be detained until their cases have been
fully adjudicated
. (Section 235(b)(1)(B)(ii) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act.) Under written federal law, no illegals should be getting in.

These are laws on the books that have been banged out by Republicans and Democrats, negotiating over generations of Congresses, and signed into law by presidents of both parties.
Mayorkas is openly breaking the law.
Democrats claim that Republicans are trying to impeach Mayorkas over a mere “policy dispute,” not “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
This is like saying Dylann Roof had a “policy dispute” with the state of South Carolina about its murder laws. Roof thought he should be allowed to gun down defenseless black people in a church, but the state disagreed. See? Policy dispute.
I’m amazed that this needs to be said, but you can’t break the law and then walk away by saying you disagree with the policy underlying the law.
That is seriously what the Democrats — plus three not-smart Republicans — are arguing.
Fox News’ Neil Cavuto
mocked
the Mayorkas impeachment as pointless, telling Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, “he’s not going to lose his job.” Right, so what’s the point?
The point is to do what I’ve been begging Republicans to do since they won a majority in the House: Force Democrats to cast unpopular votes.
We have an important election in 10 months, there are half a dozen Senate Democrats in vulnerable seats, and, so far, they’ve been able to avoid saying anything about their party’s worst issue.
Do Democrats care that millions of criminal, terrorist and needy illegal immigrants are streaming into our country? Who knows!
Make them vote. Mayorkas is entirely responsible for the invasion. Will Democrats vote to keep him in office? How about Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Kyrsten Sinema (Arizona), Bob Casey (Pennsylvania), Jacky Rosen (Nevada) and Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin) — all up for reelection in conservative or semi-conservative states?
Could you at least put them in a difficult position, Republicans? If the House impeaches, Senate Democrats will be
required
to express an opinion.
Either they vote to remove Mayorkas, or they admit they don’t give a crap about our wide open border.
That’s a gift to every Republican running for office this year.
