Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina just wrote a letter to Alejandro Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, accusing him of “gross dereliction of duty.” They warned him that he could face impeachment if things are not changed with the chaos at the southern border.
“Your failure to faithfully enforce this nation’s immigration laws and willful blindness to the very real humanitarian crisis at our southern border amounts to a gross dereliction of duty and a violation of your oath of office,” the senators wrote in their letter.
“Historically high levels of illegal immigration and illicit drug trafficking demonstrate that our southern border is open for every kind of public health and national security threat imaginable. Despite the heroic efforts by the men and women of Border Patrol, who operate with very little support from Washington, D.C., you have failed to achieve any semblance of operational control of the southern border. We have grave concerns about what this failure means for both national security and the health and safety of American citizens. These failures cannot go unaddressed, and your actions cannot be unaccounted for,” the letter continued.
And the final blow came with this summation, “This is gross dereliction of duty and, if not corrected swiftly, could provide grounds for impeachment,” the letter states. “We fully expect that in a few months’ time a Republican-led Congress will hold you to account for your willful negligence regarding the security of the southern border and the safety of the American people. We ask that you provide a full accounting of what DHS will do to achieve operational control of the southern border, as it is required to do by law, and stop the flow of illegal aliens and illicit drugs into the United States.”
Hopefully, this straightforward letter will make something happen.
