Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tried to shift blame for the border crisis onto Republicans, who do not control the government.
What is the background?
Republicans are prepared to impeach Mayorkas over what they see as a failure to enforce immigration laws, resulting in a record surge of migrants, human trafficking, and drug smuggling.
Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham wrote to Mayorkas this month:
Your failure to faithfully enforce this nation’s immigration laws and willful blindness to the very real humanitarian crisis at our southern border amounts to a gross dereliction of duty and a violation of your oath of office.
...
Far from taking steps to address this crisis and secure the southern border, you have allowed the situation to worsen and pursued policies that have greatly exacerbated the problem while continuing to insist that "the border is secure." This is gross dereliction of duty and, if not corrected swiftly, could provide grounds for impeachment.
