The House Republicans’ effort to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas failed, falling short by only a few votes.
From The Epoch Times. House Republicans failed Tuesday in their effort to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for refusing to enforce multiple U.S. immigration laws after two hours of hard-hitting floor debate, despite earlier in the day having won a key procedural vote.
Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.
The motion to approve two Articles of Impeachment against Mr. Mayorkas was rejected with 214 members voting for it and 216 opposing it.
Among the opposing votes were those cast by Republican Reps. Ken Buck of Colorado, Tom McClintock of California, Blake Moore of Utah, and Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin. …
House Majority Leader Steven Scalise (R-La.) was absent from the vote due to his undergoing medical treatment for blood cancer.
The chamber erupted with Democratic applause when Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced the tally.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a staunch proponent of the effort to impeach Mr. Mayorkas, told reporters after the vote that Republicans plan to bring the measure up for a vote again next week when Mr. Scalise hopefully returns. …
The White House applauded the resolution’s defeat.
“Clearly there is bipartisan agreement that this baseless, unconstitutional impeachment stunt should fail,” Ian Sams, White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, said in a statement. …
Impeachment Effort
The two Articles of Impeachment were reported to the floor last week by the House Committee on Homeland Security on a straight-party line vote. Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.), that panel’s chairman, was the floor manager for impeachment during the two-hour debate. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the panel’s ranking member, was floor manager for the impeachment opposition.
Article I of the measure accused Mr. Mayorkas of a “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and claims that “in large part because of his unlawful conduct, millions of aliens have illegally entered the United States on an annual basis with many unlawfully remaining in the United States.” …
Article II accused Mr. Mayorkas of breaching the public trust by having “knowingly made false statements, and knowingly obstructed lawful oversight of the Department of Homeland Security [DHS], principally to obfuscate the results of his willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law.” …
In his opening remarks of the debate, Mr. Green said that under Mr. Mayorkas, “we’ve all watched the unprecedented crisis at our borders unfold. We’ve seen the chaos. Under Secretary Mayorkas’ watch, Customs and Border Protection has reported more than 8.5 million encounters at our borders, including more than 7 million apprehensions at the Southwest border. …
Mr. Thompson’s opening statement set the tone for the Democratic responses throughout the debate, with the Mississippi Democrat declaring “what is happening here today is a travesty and an affront to the United States Constitution. It will do nothing to solve challenges at our border. And it is a baseless attack on a dedicated public servant. …

I am astonished to watch these democrats and republican rhinos how they entangle with the lies of the enemy. satan is the father of lies but for money and fear they bow down to the enemy. They are a bunch of cowards.
I know that The Lord is shaking the nations, but He is the owner of the world and is giving us a chance the church to pray for these times and act and He is exposing all the corruption and putting it into the light.
We pray that this nation will turn around from its evil ways and will come to their senses, in Jesus Name.
“Baseless?” There are no kind words i can use to describe those who voted not to impeach him and who insist the charges against him are “baseless”. We the tax payers should have the final say not these political traitors we have paid far too long to ruin our nation instead of protect and serve it.
God is in control. We should all pray for our country.
Absolutely outrageous that the extreme left dems and the rhinos are in positions of leadership. Are they trying to destroy our country? A nation without borders is not a real nation.
Antichrist DNC & Rino’s
The Dems seem to think they are public servants. Servants are people that work for no pay or little pay. They are not doing the will of the people.
When will the “people” arise?
Heathens voted NO.
How sad. Lord, may You bring justice to this situation.
This just proves how some of our republicans have been bought. Lord we pray for a second vote to bring justice to this situation. We ask that you would convict and move on the hearts of these people who can. Bring about your will to be done and for your kingdom to be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
We wrestle not against flesh and blood..,but with the AUTHORITY, POWER, DOMINION and RULERSHIP in the NAME of YESHUA! We pull down strongholds with the mighty weapons of our warfare! Believers, we are a FORCE backed by His angel armies!
