Senate Democrats are now fully responsible for our border problem. The massive illegal immigration influx is all on them after they tanked the Mayorkas impeachment.
The Senate on Wednesday ended the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, making him the second Cabinet official in history to evade a conviction and removal from office — but the first to be acquitted without evidence being presented of alleged “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) convened the upper chamber in the early afternoon to swear in the 51 Democrats or independents who caucus with them and 49 Republicans as jurors, before offering a motion to dismiss the first of the charges without a trial.
The unprecedented move set off a series of objections from Republicans, with Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) proposing a motion to adjourn the proceedings until April 30 and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) rising to oppose Schumer’s point of order that the first impeachment article was “unconstitutional.”
The whole process was a complete disgrace. You can read a solid recap of the proceedings here.
What’s notable about it all is Chuck Schumer, who was involved in several other impeachments now claiming without evidence presented, that Mayorkas is totally innocent.
.@SenSchumer: The charges brought against Secretary Mayorkas failed to meet the high standard of high crimes and misdemeanors. To validate this gross abuse by the House would be a grave mistake and could set a dangerous precedent for the future. pic.twitter.com/95H2mU6SAq

The Senate was supposed to hold a trial to determine if Mayorkas is guilty or innocent. But NOOOO… the Democrats are now on record claiming that he’s always been innocent thus examining the evidence by holding an actual impeachment trial was totally unnecessary and a complete waste of time.
There is no evidence that @SecMayorkas committed high crimes and misdemeanors, so I voted to end this waste of time.
Republicans could have made real policy changes, but they decided to play games and killed the bipartisan border package in favor of this frivolous impeachment.
— Senator Cortez Masto (@SenCortezMasto) April 17, 2024
You know what’s notable about what Cortez Masto said? THIS.
A man arrested over a crash that killed an adviser to Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto earlier this month illegally entered the US, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Elmer Rueda-Linares, 18, who was involved in an April 6 collision that killed Cortez Masto’s state senior advisor Kurt Englehart, was put on an “ICE hold” in Washoe County Jail, a DHS official confirmed to The Post.
There you have it. Cortez Masto, a Democrat from Nevada, is now on record saying the Mayorkas impeachment was a complete waste of time mere days after one of her top staffers was killed by an…illegal.
I don't know how she'll be able to live with herself. Rip to Kurt and the other thousands who've been killed by illegals & fentaynl. We had 4 great citizens murdered by an illegal in the Gardnerville area. They don't care!

Yet, according to Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats, this impeachment was frivolous. Open borders and well over 8 million illegals now wandering the country is a frivolous concern and we shouldn’t be wasting our time on holding Mayorkas’ feet to the fire.
CBP data just released, in the first 6 months of FY24, Border Patrol has apprehended 24,296 Chinese nationals crossing illegally between ports of entry. The overwhelming majority (85%) of them were single adults (20,868).
Context: FYTD24 (with 6 months to go) has already…— Bret Baier (@BretBaier) April 17, 2024
That’s a 7000% INCREASE in the number of Chinese nationals trying to sneak into the United States.
In other words, out of the 25,000 Chinese that tried to enter illegally and were caught by Border Patrol, maybe 800 were sent back. Excellent negotiations there Mayorkas. Much wow.
Whether Mayorkas would’ve actually been impeached is now moot. Oh sure, given how he’s totally mishandled the border, and at Biden’s bidding has welcomed illegals right and left, he at the very least should’ve been fired the first year. But he wasn’t, and we are all living with the consequences.
So much so that Denver just slashed its law enforcement budget by EIGHT MILLION in order to go help those poor “newcomers” (isn’t that such a quaint little description?) adjust to life in the United States. Chicago residents and politicians are fed up.
“Here we are begging for more money when we don’t have money for the people here,” said 9th Ward Ald. Anthony Beale, a Democrat who opposed the proposal. “We don’t have money for after school programs. We don’t have money to help our kids get off the street. Yet, we would just blow money left and right. That’s a fundamental problem.”
In New York, illegals are being handed debit cards, running illicit open air markets, are bitching about their food and accommodations, and wondering why green cards haven’t magically appeared.
The Senate Democrats, who voted in lockstep to tank the Mayorkas impeachment proceedings are now claiming that if Republicans had just passed the border bill, none of this would’ve been necessary.
Except it was and it is. The Democrats have completely ignored the very real national security concerns of having a wide open border. We have child molesters, drug traffickers, and terrorists trying to get into this country. Biden’s policies with the assistance of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have and will continue to turn our borders into a nightmare.
NEW: The Biden administration has appointed anti-ICE activist Michelle Brane to run DHS’s “Detention Ombudsman” office. She’s said that if we don’t let illegal aliens commit some crime before being deported, it’s a “police state”. It was in reference to ICE Director @RealTomHoman… pic.twitter.com/bbrGGCpJ6a

So yes, instead of holding an impeachment, the Democrats tanked the proceedings.
That tells me three things.
A. The Democrats weren’t confident that they could prevail against the evidence.
B. They are putting their leftist policies above the security and welfare of this Republic.
C. They don’t give a damn about our Constitution.
— Senator Eric Schmitt (@SenEricSchmitt) April 17, 2024
Schmitt gave a scorching speech late yesterday about the Democrats setting our Constitution on fire. Read it all.
The Democrats now fully own the border debacle. Any national security issues that arise from Biden’s open borders policy must be laid firmly and squarely on their heads. Democrats threw our Constitution and national security into the gutter solely to protect one of their own instead of protecting their constituents.
In other words, by making sure they didn’t have to vote to acquit the guy, they essentially voted to keep Mayorkas and Biden’s atrocious border policies in place.
Hello Democrats? YOU BUILT THIS. OWN IT.
