In a significant move, Congressman Wesley Hunt has voted for the impeachment of Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, for the second time in a week. The impeachment comes as a result of Mayorkas' failure to effectively secure the American homeland.

Following the impeachment, Congressman Hunt released a statement expressing his concerns and justifying his decision. He emphasized the pressing issue of illegal immigration at the southern border, stating, "The number one issue facing Americans is the illegal invasion at our southern border."

Highlighting the severity of the situation, Hunt pointed out the alarming amount of fentanyl that has entered the country, enough to "kill every single American five times." He also raised concerns about the release of individuals on the terror watchlist into the interior of the United States and the increasing control of Mexican cartels at the southern border under Mayorkas' watch.

Congressman Hunt stressed the importance of the oath taken by all Americans, including the Secretary of Homeland Security, to defend the nation against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. He criticized Mayorkas' failure, stating, "thanks to Mayorkas’ failure we now have both enemies foreign and domestic roaming the American countryside."

Consequently, Congressman Hunt firmly believes that Mayorkas deserved to be impeached and now calls for his removal from office. The impeachment of Mayorkas highlights the dissatisfaction and concerns among representatives regarding the handling of border security and immigration issues.

The decision to impeach Secretary Mayorkas reflects the ongoing debate and division within Congress regarding the best approach to address the challenges at the southern border. It remains to be seen what impact this impeachment will have on future policies and the overall management of homeland security.
