President Joe Biden seems to think that he can convince everyone that he is taking the border crisis seriously. If so, he should fire Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
During his State of the Union address, Biden laid blame for the border crisis at the feet of Congress. This would be entirely fair if he had not repealed effective border policies on the very first day of his presidency, causing a massive surge at the border. It would be fair if he had not eased up on deportations and unjustly punished Border Patrol agents for doing their jobs based on left-wing misinformation.
No one is under the impression that removing Mayorkas from office will actually fix the issues at our southern border. After all, he is simply doing what Biden asks of him. But Mayorkas has come to symbolize the ineffectual, destructive border policies pushed by the Biden administration. There is no path forward while Mayorkas remains in his current position.
Of course, Biden won’t actually move on from Mayorkas, either out of loyalty to him or because Biden doesn’t actually care about the border crisis. Therefore, the onus falls on Congress to send the message to Biden that this is unacceptable. Mayorkas is the avatar of Biden’s failed border policies.
If House Democrats don’t have the stomach for it, then House Republicans should start the process of impeaching Mayorkas without them and leave it to Senate Democrats to defend Biden’s border crisis. Democrats will either need to defend the indefensible or finally recognize that the status quo must be changed.
