The invasion of America by illegal immigrants will continue unimpeded now that a handful of House Republicans have helped Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stay on the job.
According to RedState.com on Monday, eight GOP lawmakers in the House sided with Democrats to defeat Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resolution to impeach Mayorkas.
Greene had sought a straight up-or-down vote on Mayorkas. Fox News noted that instead the Republicans joined a Democratic maneuver to send Greene’s resolution back to committee.

In a video posted after the vote, Greene said that is where articles of impeachment “go to die.”
The final vote for the Democratic initiative was 209-201.
The eight Republicans who voted with the Democrats included Reps. Ken Buck of Colorado, Darrell Issa of California, Tom McClintock of California, Patrick McHenry, R-North Carolina, John Duarte of R-California, Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, Cliff Bentz of Oregon, and Mike Turner of Ohio.
Another 12 GOP lawmakers did not vote.
Greene called it “absolutely unbelievable” that those Republicans would allow Mayorkas to remain in office. “This is outrageous,” she added.
As the Tampa Free Press reported on Thursday, Greene filed impeachment articles against the Homeland Security chief after two of her constituents were killed in a crash in Texas.

Jose and Isabel Lerma, both in their 60s, died after a head-on collision caused by the driver of a Honda, a suspected human smuggler ferrying five illegal immigrants through Texas.
The Lerma’s left behind five children.
“The utter disregard for American life displayed by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas can no longer be ignored. The time for more hearings and phases is over,” Greene said on X (formerly Twitter). “Americans are getting murdered just traveling to see their families. Lives have been lost forever. Everyone should care. This is not a political issue. That’s why I just introduced privileged Articles to IMPEACH Secretary Mayorkas.”
As Mayorkas has managed the DHS, millions of illegal immigrants have flooded across the southern border.
