In a bold move, Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX) \u2063and Claudia Tenney (R-NY) are leading an\u2063 effort to use the Holman rule to reduce Mayorkas&#8217;s salary\u2063 to just \u200c$1. \u2063Their aim \u200bis to send a clear message \u200cthat the secretary&#8217;s failure to secure the southern border should not\u2063 go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p>The Holman rule grants Congress the power to slash the\u200c salaries of government officials, and\u2064 Roy and Tenney are determined to use it to hold Mayorkas accountable. They argue that his salary should reflect his \u2062inability to protect American taxpayers from threats crossing \u200cthe border.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;Secretary Mayorkas should not be paid hundreds of thousands\u2063 of\u2062 tax dollars to continually fail to protect American taxpayers from threats crossing our borders,&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Tenney stated. &#8220;Thanks \u200cto Secretary Mayorkas\u2019s\u2063 work, or lack thereof, \u200bthere have been \u200bat least 5.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-lawmakers-push-to-use-holman-rule-to-reduce-mayorkas-salary-to-1-over-border-crisis\/\" title=\"GOP lawmakers seek to slash Mayorkas' salary to  amid border crisis.\">8 million\u200d illegal crossings<\/a> of our southern border since Biden took\u200b office, turning all our communities into border communities.

This comes after conservatives have called for Mayorkas&#8217;s resignation, demanded the\u2063 Biden administration\u2062 to fire him for\u200c alleged &#8220;dereliction of duty,&#8221; and even introduced articles of impeachment \u2062against the secretary.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;It\u2019s time to end\u200c this border crisis once\u2064 and\u200d for all.
