House Republicans moved in historic fashion and impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by a single vote on Tuesday night, succeeding on their second try in punishing the steward of President Biden’s immigration policy.
The unprecedented and partisan resolution — which cleared the House over opposition from Democrats and three GOP members — may not go very far in the Senate, as some Republicans in the upper chamber do not believe that Mayorkas’s actions clear the bar for the high crimes and misdemeanors necessary for conviction. But Mayorkas is the first sitting Cabinet secretary to be impeached and some bipartisan and legal observers worry that the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to rein in a public official is being misused as partisan weapon.

I have a question, and I’m scared to just go look it up because of bias. Is there actually an influx of migrants at the border or is this just republicans riling up the masses again? I know for a fact that Trump did this during his presidency where the “caravan of migrants” was winding up Central America, but as soon as he had successfully deflected whatever else he was hiding from, suddenly there was no caravan to worry about.
