Republican lawmakers celebrated the historic vote, calling on the Biden administration to safe the border.
“To all families who have lost a loved one due to Joe Biden’s man-made border crisis, we have answered the call: Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas has been IMPEACHED,” Congressman Byron Donalds, R-Fla., wrote. “House Republicans stand with the American people to ensure everything that can be done, will be done to SECURE OUR NATION.”
“Alejandro Mayorkas has just been impeached by the House of Representatives,” Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., wrote. “His open-borders policies have led to ACTUAL death and destruction within our country. It is now incumbent upon the Senate to take this up and remove this man from office. He has NO place in our government.”
Impartial presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. additionally responded to Mayorkas’ impeachment on-line.
“Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was just impeached for failing to secure the border,” he wrote. “As President, I will build a bipartisan cabinet and hold them accountable when they fail to do their jobs.”
MSNBC government opinion editor Tim O’Brien bashed Republicans for impeaching Mayorkas.
“The House — after intentionally sabotaging a bi-partisan bill meant to address the immigration crisis at the southern border — votes to impeach Mayorkas for…wait for it…failing to address the immigration crisis at the border,” O’Brien wrote. “Craven rodeo clowns.”
Political influencer Brian Krassenstein wrote that Home Republicans are overly centered on blaming Biden authorities officers over working to actively cease the border disaster.
“They have officially spent more time trying to impeach Mayorkas than trying to come up with new laws to provide Mayorkas tools to actually do his job better,” Krassenstein wrote. “This will end in nothing more than the House wasting more time trying to blame someone for their own inactions. Democrats better be ready to show the actual facts to counter the narrative that our border problems are all Mayorkas’ fault. Use this to your advantage.”
Berkeley professor and former Clinton administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich claimed that the impeachment was “absurd.”
“For DHS to detain every migrant with a pending immigration case, as the GOP claims Sec. Mayorkas was required ‘by law’ to do, it would require a system 50% larger than all federal and state prisons combined,” he wrote. “It’s absurd. This takes the notion of impeachment to a new low.”
