Majorkas Rides Again

The open southern border is a complete disaster, costing the US taxpayers billions and endangering us all.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's resolution to impeach Homeland Security's Secretary Majorkas for his myriad failures failed Monday due to a vote instead to send it to a committee (in other words, to let it die).

This motion passed only because a handful of Republicans voted with the Democrats, which basically killed the impeachment effort, and 13 other Republicans dodged their responsibility to cast a vote.

Had those 13 voted with the party majority, the resolution would have instead gone to a vote in the full House, and forced a difficult vote for Democrats to cast.

Who the heck are the Cowardly 13?

    Well, good thing McHenry didn't become "permanent" Speaker.

    It’s more than obvious that there are those on both sides of the aisle who benefit from an open border

    On another thread I mentioned that manufacturing jobs are done overseas because our laws make manufacturing most things more expensive than the cost of making it elsewhere and shipping it in.

    Similarly, it is cheaper to leave the door open for 'undocumented workers' to do work more cheaply than what we would have to pay citizens to do it.
