He has dismissed calls for impeachment and said he is focused on his job.<\/p>\n<p>The impeachment process would almost certainly come to an end in the Democrat controlled Senate.https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/06\/politics\/kevin-mccarthy-alejandro-mayorkas-republican-impeachment-effort\/index.html&#8221;>mpeaching Only once has a Cabinet official been elected in American history.<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/government\/congress\/congressman-andy-biggs-moves-impeach-dhs-secretary-mayorkas-over-border-crisis\">Andy Biggs<\/a>\u00a0Mayorkas filed the first impeachment articles in August 2021.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe Mayorkas has committed high crimes and misdemeanors,&#8221; Near that time, he also mentioned trying to impeach Mayorkas. &#8220;What he has done has just been unconscionable.
