Alejandro Mayorkas simply has to go. The United States as a nation can’t withstand another two years of his seemingly intentional mismanagement. Legal experts at The Heritage Foundation took a look at the case conservatives have laid out for his impeachment and summed it up for everyone to talk about.
Mayorkas abused power
All the gory details for the need to impeach Domestic Security Minister Alejandro Mayorkas were spelled out in a lengthy report from The Heritage Foundation. Conveniently, they summed it all up at the top in their “introductory statement.” Blame his policy decisions, they begin.
“By his policy decisions and misconduct as [alleged] Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has violated his oath of office, abused the powers of his office, and betrayed the trust of the American people.” Uncle Sam was legally “injured” by that. “As a direct result of his actions, the U.S. has become gripped by an unprecedented border, national security, and illegal immigration catastrophe.”
With Mayorkas in charge, “the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has failed to protect the sovereignty and security of the United States.” All the Biden officials responsible for securing the border ignored serious danger signals.

“Against the warnings of career border security experts, he has orchestrated policies for the mass release of huge numbers of illegal aliens into the U.S. in violation of law.” Even before this latest illegal mass “parole” scheme.
For the entire two years he’s been in office, Mayorkas “threw open the southern border, creating a humanitarian crisis of historic proportions, and he deliberately encouraged and incentivized more than 6 million aliens from 160 different countries to put their lives in the hands of ruthless cartel members and smugglers as they embarked on the dangerous trek to enter the U.S. illegally.”
Not only that, his policies and actions “have resulted in the expansion of the Mexican drug cartels’ operational control of the U.S. border, along with their capacity to increase their vast and complex networks into the U.S.”
DHS Secretary Mayorkas tells illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. they "will very quickly receive work authorization” and be able to "support themselves and their loved ones.”

Increased risk from the cartels
The drug and migrant smuggling crime cartels rule Central and South America with a ruthless and violent iron fist. “These cartels have put at risk the lives and safety of the dedicated officers” who serve under Mayorkas. Besides making it easy to smuggle in cocaine, heroin and fentanyl.
“He has also orchestrated a system of processing and transporting illegal aliens into and throughout the U.S., rather than detaining and removing them as required by law.” They like to call that “parole.” The provision is in the law but meant to be applied on a “case-by-case” basis, not en masse.
The report notes that the recent decrease in “illegal” crossings is only a smoke and mirror illusion. By lining up and coming through a port of entry for “parole,” DHS thinks they can say they’re coming in “legally.” That’s not true because the entire scheme is both unconstitutional and illegal. DHS simply “pre-registering these same aliens outside the U.S. for mass entry and release through ports of entry.”
Q: “Do you know where [the 1.1 million ‘gotaways’] are and who they are?”
DHS Secretary Mayorkas: *dodges*

The Heritage Foundation points out that “this new process has allowed Secretary Mayorkas to claim an improvement in the crisis at the border and a lessening of the strain on border officers—but it has institutionalized his violations of law by establishing a new pathway attracting an ever-increasing flood of aliens to gain quick entry into the U.S. and be released en masse and dispersed to all parts of the country without regard for the requirements of the U.S. Constitution, immigration laws, or the deleterious effects on local communities.”
That, the foundation declares, is “reckless.” Mayorkas and his “reckless policies of encouraging and facilitating the entry and release of millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. have pulled limited law enforcement personnel off the front lines, away from their national security mission, and have allowed cartels to flood America’s communities with fentanyl, violent criminal aliens, gang members, and potential national security threats.” It’s no wonder none of the troops can stand him.
Mayorkas has also “acted inexcusably to denigrate and abuse U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, lied to Congress and deceived the public about the nature and consequences of his policies, and acted to suppress the constitutional and statutory rights of Americans.” Bottom line, he simply has to go. “For these violations, abuses, depredations, and betrayals, Secretary Mayorkas deserves to be impeached, removed from office, and disqualified from holding any further office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.“
