This comes after two of her constituents tragically lost their lives in a car crash involving a\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/100-migrants-found-in-two-tractor-trailers-near-border-in-texas\/\" title=\"100 Migrants Found in Two Tractor-Trailers near Border in Texas\">suspected human smuggler<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a passionate speech on the House floor, Greene accused Mayorkas of &#8220;high \u200bcrimes\u200c and misdemeanors.&#8221; She criticized him for neglecting his duty to secure the border and protect states against illegal immigration. Additionally, she expressed her frustration with his failure to address the \u2063influx\u2064 of \u2064dangerous \u200bdrugs like fentanyl into the United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: I just filed privileged Articles of Impeachment on Secretary Mayorkas.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, two Americans from \u2062my district\u2064 in \u2063Dalton, GA were \u200dkilled\u2063 in \u2062a high-speed head-on collision at the hands of human traffickers smuggling illegal aliens into this country.<\/p>\n<p>They had 5 kids\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JHbYYLpElp\">pic.twitter.com\/JHbYYLpElp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

This suggests that Greene&#8217;s efforts to\u2064 impeach Mayorkas\u200d may \u200chave more traction than\u200c previous attempts.\u200c While it remains uncertain how much support she will garner from her colleagues, Republicans have long criticized Mayorkas for his handling of the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>New House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) recently\u2062 voiced his belief that Mayorkas has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-vice-president-pence-senate-majority-leader-mcconnell-and-house-minority-leader-mccarthy-wont-attend-president-trumps-goodbye-ceremony\/\" title=\"Republicans: Vice President Pence, Senate Majority Leader McConnell and House Minority Leader McCarthy, Won\u2019t Attend President Trump\u2019s Goodbye Ceremony\">committed impeachable offenses<\/a>. However, Johnson acknowledged the limited time and resources available, as the House is already engaged in an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Greene&#8217;s\u2063 frustration with Mayorkas intensified following a tragic crash\u200d in Texas that claimed the lives of two citizens from her district. Law enforcement reports\u2064 indicate that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fmr-cpb-head-slams-bidens-new-guidelines-on-ice-arrests\/\" title=\"Fmr CPB head slams Biden\u2019s new guidelines on ICE arrests\">suspected human trafficker<\/a>, evading \u200cauthorities, crashed\u2063 into their vehicle while transporting\u200d Hondurans. The victims, identified as Jose Lerma, 67, and Isabel Lerma, 65, from Dalton, Georgia, leave behind five children.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is unacceptable! Alejandro Mayorkas is derelict in his duty to secure our Southern border, and my constituents are dying!!&#8221;\u200d Greene \u2063passionately expressed in a social media post. She further emphasized her outrage \u200con Thursday, highlighting that\u200c the victims&#8217; children will never have the chance\u2063 to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p><b>The utter disregard\u200b for American life displayed by Secretary Alejandro\u2064 Mayorkas can no longer be ignored. \u2063The time for more hearings and phases is over. Americans are getting murdered\u200b just traveling to see their\u200c families. \u200bLives\u2063 have been lost forever. Everyone should care. This is not a political issue. That&#8217;s why I just introduced\u2063 privileged Articles to IMPEACH\u200b Secretary Mayorkas.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment on Greene&#8217;s resolution. In response, a DHS spokesperson \u2064defended Mayorkas, stating that while the House \u200dMajority\u200d has been focused on baseless attacks, Mayorkas has\u200d been diligently working to keep Americans safe. The spokesperson highlighted the department&#8217;s efforts in combating \u200cfentanyl smuggling, countering threats from the Chinese government, aiding disaster recovery, and protecting\u200d the \u2064nation from cyberattacks, \u200cterrorism, and targeted\u2062 violence. They \u200curged Congress to collaborate with the DHS to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-gives-national-security-grants-to-think-tank-backed-by-ccp-front-group\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Gives National Security Grants to Think Tank Backed by CCP Front Group\">enhance national security<\/a> and address the broken immigration\u200b system through legislation.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Is there enough support\u2063 in the House and Senate to impeach the Homeland Security Secretary, considering the current political climate and differing views\u2062 on immigration\u200c and border security<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Wever,\u200b it is important to note that not all Republicans share this view, and many Democrats have \u2062expressed opposition to the impeachment resolution. Consequently, the outcome of the vote is still uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 introduction of this resolution highlights the\u200d deep \u200cdivisions in Congress regarding immigration \u2063policy and the role of the Department of\u2064 Homeland Security. Greene&#8217;s decision to pursue \u200bimpeachment reflects a growing\u2063 frustration among conservatives who believe that the \u2062Biden administration has failed to adequately address the ongoing crisis at the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>One of the \u2062main points of contention is the \u2062surge in \u2063illegal border crossings \u2064since \u2063President Biden took office. Critics argue \u200bthat\u2062 Mayorkas has \u2063been ineffective in preventing and deterring these\u2062 crossings, as\u200b evidenced by the tragic\u2062 car crash\u200b that led\u2064 to \u2063the death of\u200d Greene&#8217;s constituents. They argue that Mayorkas&#8217;s failure to \u2064secure the border has not\u200c only put American lives at risk but \u2063has also enabled human traffickers and drug\u2062 smugglers to\u2062 thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Another issue of concern is the\u2062 influx of dangerous\u200b drugs, particularly fentanyl, into the United States. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is responsible \u200bfor thousands of overdose deaths each \u2062year.\u2063 Critics \u2064argue that Mayorkas has not taken sufficient action\u200d to combat the smuggling of\u2064 these drugs across the \u200bborder, exacerbating the already devastating\u200c opioid crisis in the country.<\/p>\n<p>However, defenders \u200bof Mayorkas argue that he inherited a challenging situation at the border and has been working \u200cto address \u2064it. They point to the implementation of\u200b various policies\u200c aimed at managing the influx of migrants, including increased resources for border patrol agents\u2062 and the expansion of processing facilities. They also emphasize\u2063 the need for a comprehensive immigration\u200b reform to address the root causes of migration and create a more efficient and\u2062 humane \u200dimmigration system.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming days, the House will have to decide whether to take up \u200cthe \u2062impeachment resolution introduced by Greene. If the resolution moves forward, it will require a majority vote in the House,\u200b followed by \u200ba \u200ctwo-thirds majority vote in the Senate for\u200d Mayorkas to be removed from office. Given the current political climate and the differing views \u200don immigration and border security, it remains to\u2063 be seen whether there will \u2064be enough support to impeach the Homeland Security Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of\u2064 the outcome, this resolution underscores the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mtg-moves-to-force-mayorkas-impeachment-vote\/\" title=\"MTG Moves To Force Mayorkas Impeachment Vote\">intense debate surrounding immigration policy<\/a> and the significant role that the Department of \u200cHomeland Security plays in addressing border security \u200band immigration enforcement. It is a reminder of \u2063the challenges faced\u200c by lawmakers \u2064in finding common ground on this deeply divisive issue. \u200bAs \u200dthe debate continues, it is crucial for \u2063elected \u2063officials to prioritize \u200bthe safety \u2062and security of\u2064 the American\u200d people while also upholding\u2063 the principles of compassion, fairness, and respect for human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
