House panel approves Mayorkas impeachment articles

That lying snake has got to go.
It's insane that the man tasked with keeping the U.S. safe is doing untold damage to the U.S.
He should be removed, and then held accountable for his actions. Sadly, that isn't going to happen.
It's hard to watch these hearings. California senator and consummate idiot Eric Swalwell, who is on the Homeland Security Committee, blamed the Republicans for the border disaster. Swalwell had an affair with a Chinese spy. And he's on the Homeland Security Committee.
Lord, I'm startin' to feel ill.





Biden admits crisis, blames Republicans

Per the articles, his first offense is “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” by implementing a so-called “catch and release” policy, which allows many migrants awaiting court proceedings to remain in the United States without being detained.

And there's more. Stay tuned.

Dereliction of duty, but it's not a criminal case, it's an impeachment. If you need clarification on that just holler.

He should be impeached, removed, and then tried for treason.

Whats the point? He won't be convicted by the Senate. Their time would be better spent passing legislation that would help alleviate the issues at the border. They prefer grandstanding on the tax payers dime to doing anything useful. This won't end well for the Republican control of the house in the next election; then again, they are going to lose the house anyway, so they might as well go down in flames, which they most certainly will.

Why do people keep saying that? Don't they hear all the rest of the people saying they don't need to pass any new legislation, they just need to start enforcing the laws already on the books? That would solve the problem.

And I'd like to repeat that, so people can hear it - enforcing laws already on the books would solve the problem. I mean they figured out this immigration thing a long time ago here in America. Now, they're simply just doing nothing to enforce the laws we have about legal and illegal immigration. It's a free for all.

I do agree that impeaching him is totally pointless. he is just following orders from his Boss, Joetatoe. But congress isn't who needs to fix the border with it's existing issue. There are already laws on the books stating that it's illegal to enter the US outside a legal port of entry, it's just not being enforced. And in fact Mayorkas (again, following orders) is preventing the border patrol from doing their sworn duty to prevent unlawful entry, and instead ordering them to process and release the illegals who unlawfully enter the country, while the terrorist and criminals pay the cartels to smuggle them in through places the border patrol is NOT in, so they can get away and not be detained.

If you live in the US, what reason do you have to cheer for more terrorists to congregate inside our borders? I would think most people who value safety would be just a little concerned about that aspect. Looking forward to hearing your answer on that.

I thought there were already law on the books that were pretty clear about the boarder?

Isn't the issue, no one is enforcing those laws?

yea, but with it taking 2/3 of the democratic majority senate, that won't happen. Border security is now a partisan issue. I sure don't know why, but it is.

That's what makes it so frustrating. If it were solely up to the dems, they'd give him a raise for the outstanding job he's doing. Joe would probably give him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, or whatever they call it.

Per the articles, his first offense is “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” by implementing a so-called “catch and release” policy, which allows many migrants awaiting court proceedings to remain in the United States without being detained.

....

Is that the same "catch and release" policy that Trump implemented in 2019?

From the AP, April 2, 2019; "US expands ‘catch and release’ amid surge in migrants":

"EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The surge of migrant families arriving at the southern border has led the Trump administration to dramatically expand a practice President Donald Trump has long mocked as “catch and release.”

With immigrant processing and holding centers overwhelmed, the administration is busing people hundreds of miles inland and releasing them at Greyhound stations and churches in cities like Albuquerque, San Antonio and Phoenix because towns close to the border already have more than they can handle.

...

For many years, families arriving at the border were typically released from U.S. custody immediately and allowed to settle in this country with family or friends while their cases wound their way through the courts, a process that often takes years.

Trump has railed against the practice, tweeting in November that it was over: “Catch and Release is an obsolete term. It is now Catch and Detain. Illegal Immigrants trying to come into the U.S.A., often proudly flying the flag of their nation as they ask for U.S. Asylum, will be detained or turned away.”

But in recent months, the number of families crossing into the U.S. has climbed to record highs, pushing the system to the breaking point. As a result, the government is releasing families faster, in greater numbers and at points farther removed from the border.

Since Dec. 21, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has set free more than 125,000 people who came into the U.S. as families."

And then there's this from the Libertarian CATO Institute a few months ago:

"New Data Show Migrants Were More Likely to Be Released by Trump Than Biden"

"According to new data published last month, the Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden.

In absolute terms, the Biden DHS is removing 3.5 times as many people per month as the Trump DHS did. These figures are important for understanding how each administration has carried out border enforcement.

During the Trump administration, DHS made 1.4 million arrests—what it calls “encounters”—in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 (24 months). Of those people arrested, only 47 percent were removed as of December 31, 2021, which includes people arrested by Trump and removed by Biden, and 52 percent were released into the United States.

Under Biden, DHS made over 5 million arrests in its first 26.3 months, and it removed nearly 2.6 million—51 percent—while releasing only 49 percent. In other words, the Trump DHS removed a minority of those arrested while the Biden DHS removed a majority. Biden managed to increase the removal share while also increasing the total removals by a factor of 3.5."

I read this this morning in the news,

Did I was glad to read it? no really, why? because is smells and looks like just a pre national elections political stunt.

Our government and political figures has become soo predictable that anything they do is all linked to political gain.

a reply to: Boomer1947

do you have a link to the immigration numbers before Trump, during Trump, and now? I'd like to see the numbers so I know you understand what you wrote. Oh wait, you don't come back to threads you post in, so I doubt you will be bringing anything.

a reply to: Boomer1947

Data matters more than the liberal spin put on them. Numbers don't lie; people do.

The U.S. Border Patrol is reporting more than three times the number of encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border than it experienced under former President Donald Trump, punctuating what Republicans have defined as a "crisis" level situation at the southern border that has emerged under President Joe Biden's leadership.

Data from the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) and Office of Field Operations (OFO) compiled by Newsweek show that the average number of encounters under Biden reached totals of roughly 189,000 per month, compared to an average of just under 51,000 per month during the Trump presidency.

There's already legislation to secure the border.

All they have to do is follow the law.
