Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has thus far been unsuccessful in convincing enough Republicans to take action against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to take action to stop tidal waves of migrants from crossing illegally into the country.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, she came up short in an effort to impeach him over dereliction of duty, but she announced on Sunday she would try again after the Thanksgiving holiday in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time, the Republicans in Congress better deliver different results,\u201d Greene said on \u201cSunday Morning Futures.\u201d \u201cMayorkas must be impeached, and the invasion must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAmericans deserve security and sovereignty. After the holiday break, I\u2019ll reintroduce my articles to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. Congress must choose between protecting our homeland or the Biden regime. I will not stop fighting for border security and the rule of law,\u201d she wrote on the X platform in a post that contained a video clip of her interview.<\/p>\n
The Daily Wireadded<\/a>:<\/p>\n Eight Republicans\u00a0joined\u00a0with all voting Democrats last week to approve a motion that kicked Greene\u2019s\u00a0impeachment\u00a0resolution to the House Homeland Security Committee, which is already investigating Mayorkas for\u00a0alleged dereliction of duty\u00a0in a probe that\u00a0could lead to\u00a0impeachment proceedings in the future. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has derided what a spokesperson called \u201creckless impeachment charades\u201d by congressional Republicans.<\/em><\/p>\n Some Republican holdouts explained that they do want to move ahead with impeaching Mayorkas, but in a deliberate manner that isn\u2019t rushed and ensures that he will be convicted in the Senate, which is a very high bar at the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cWe didn\u2019t kill a Mayorkas impeachment. We voted to launch hearings and make our case to the entire nation. If we impeached Mayorkas today, the Senate would have rejected it today,\u201d one of the holdouts, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.),said<\/a>in a post to X. \u201cHouse Democrats will now have to defend Biden or admit his border disaster. We can win this.\u201d<\/p>\n Greene, however, emphasized the importance of moving quickly against Mayorkas, citing the high volume of drug trafficking associated with the migrant border crisis as well as the increased potential for a terrorist attack.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely outrageous,\u201d she told Bartiromo. \u201cI serve on the Homeland Committee. We have had hearing after hearing listening to parents cry over their children murdered by fentanyl. I mean, we are wondering how many \u2026 dead American bodies are going to have to pile up before Republicans in Congress get serious about impeaching Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMTG,\u201d as she is known, explained in a new book which is set for release in the coming days why she believes Republicans continually fail to deliver on issues their voters want.<\/p>\n A chapter titled \u201cWhat is the GOP doing?\u201d that was provided to the Washington Examiner\u2019s \u201cWashington Secrets\u201d column says that Republicans are frightened that taking bold action that their voters want would cost them power and positions.<\/p>\n \u201cFear of consequences. Fear of reprisal. Fear of lost influence,\u201d shewrites<\/a>. \u201cIt paralyzes everyone from Republican members of Congress to administrative officials to special office holders to attorney generals. These people are responsible for not doing the right thing, and their inaction costs us all.\u201d<\/p>\n The Examinernoted further<\/a>: \u201cIt is a harsh assessment of her colleagues but one she is uniquely qualified to make since she owes no one in the House GOP caucus for her position of influence and won reelection with 65.9% of the vote.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe conservative base is ready; they see the problems and want change. Yet over and over, I and other conservatives fighting for an America-first, MAGA agenda must come home to our districts full of frustration and impotence because the rest of our party won\u2019t get things done,\u201d shewrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n
