The Republican-controlled House voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The vote marks the first time in nearly 150 years that a Cabinet secretary has been impeached.

House Republicans have spent months investigating the secretary’s actions as they’ve aimed to make immigration and border security a key election issue.

    Seems like kind of a waste of government time and resources.

      The best way to prove your point that the government is too big and too dysfunctional is to make it too big and too dysfunctional.

      For most, this would reflect poorly at review time. For some, this would invite a dismissal for performance or team cohesion issues. These folks wouldn’t know anything about any of that.

      I’m mostly disappointed in the Biden speechwriters. Mayorkas Malarky would be excellent branding for this.
