Why Hasn’t the GOP Yet Walked the Walk on Its Mayorkas Impeachment Talk?

By James Varney and RealClearInvestigations
April 4, 2023Updated: April 4, 2023

It’s almost an understatement to say that Republican candidates campaigned hawkishly on border control in the runup to the 2022 midterms: As they decried the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs from Mexico, many vowed to impeach the man they largely blamed for the mess, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Republicans have continued hammering Mayorkas since taking control of the House. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, who called the flooding of more than 5 million illegal immigrants across the southern border since President Biden took office an “intentional” policy, has made several visits to the U.S.-Mexico border with other Republicans, and the House has held multiple hearings on immigration.

But as winter has turned to spring, the GOP has taken little action to remove Mayorkas. Republicans Andy Biggs of Arizona and Pat Fallon of Texas have each filed bills, but the House Judiciary Committee, from which any impeachment move must come, has not taken up either resolution.

It's now almost May, and we haven't seen anything of substance yet from these squishes. 

Our contingent GOP limp wicks  are the proverbial knives at a gun fight.

They're not going to do anything.

The Pubbies in Congress are watching the travails of Mr. Trump, and thinking: "gee, if The Party can do that to a past president, what can it do to ME?"

And then... they'll go on about their business.
Like good church mice.
