In a move that highlights the ongoing concern over the state of the U.S. southern border, Congressman Posey has voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Congressman Posey, who was an original cosponsor of the impeachment legislation, cited Secretary Mayorkas' dereliction of duty as the primary reason for his decision.

"Under the Biden Administration and Secretary Mayorkas' tenure, over 7 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border, as well as an untold number of individuals who have evaded CBP detection," Congressman Posey stated. He further emphasized Secretary Mayorkas' problematic "catch and release" policy, pointing out that "85% of illegal aliens who are apprehended by CBP have been released into the country."

The growing crisis at the southern border, infiltrating cities and straining resources, has led Congressman Posey to believe that Secretary Mayorkas must be removed from office. He also called for a major overhaul of the country's border security policy. This is not the first time Congressman Posey has taken action against Secretary Mayorkas. He previously introduced articles of impeachment, not only against Mayorkas but also against President Biden for their failed policies that have contributed to the border crisis.

The decision to impeach Secretary Mayorkas underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive and effective approach to border security. The ongoing influx of illegal immigrants and the flaws in the current system cannot be ignored. The voice of Congressman Posey adds weight to the concerns raised by many who believe that immediate action is necessary.

As the situation at the southern border continues to escalate, it remains to be seen how this impeachment vote will impact the broader conversation surrounding immigration policy. The focus on Secretary Mayorkas' actions and the subsequent impeachment vote serve as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by the Biden Administration in addressing the complex issue of border security.
