Impeach Alejandro Mayorkas: The Constitutional Case

In a representative government, our elected officials are held accountable by the people, but those appointed by the president must be held accountable by Congress. The crisis at our southern border has raged on for two years too long, causing havoc and destruction for migrants, Americans, and the rule of law. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is largely responsible for this, and indeed, he should be held accountable.

Our Founders anticipated that our country might face officeholders like Alejandro Mayorkas, which is why they provided the tools necessary to push back against them. Now it’s time for Congress to use those very tools and begin impeachment proceedings against Secretary Mayorkas.
