A significant number of Republican lawmakers are expressing strong opposition to the Biden Administration's handling of the southern border situation, citing 302,034 illegal border crossings in December and demanding immediate action to secure the border. Criticism from GOP members like @SenBillCassidy, @repkevinhern, and @RepBethVanDuyne is directed at President Biden, with calls for enforcing immigration laws and securing the border now. The criticism extends to DHS Secretary Mayorkas, with @RepFeenstra and others announcing their intent to vote for his impeachment due to perceived failures in border security and enforcement. The sentiment is echoed by @GOP and @alexbruesewitz, who suggest that President Biden has the authority to address the border crisis unilaterally by reinstating Trump-era policies. A Senate border bill is also under scrutiny, with @IanJaeger29 and @RepCarlos indicating that the bill will not receive a vote in the House and is considered 'dead on arrival'. The bill is described as failing to secure the border and is rejected by several Republicans, including @SenRonJohnson, who criticizes the Democrats for the crisis. Former President Trump and @ElonMusk are also mentioned as critics of the current border policies. Additionally, @SenVancePress states that the Senate Immigration Plan means 'the border never closes', and @IanJaeger29 reports that House Speaker Mike Johnson has confirmed that the Chuck Schumer Senate Border Bill will not receive a vote in the House. There are 19 Republican Senate votes against the border bill.
The border crisis created by @POTUS threatens our national security. He has the authority to end this mess RIGHT NOW by: ❌Ending catch and release ❌Reinstating Remain in Mexico ❌Ending parole abuses ❌Enforcing mandatory detention ❌Using existing expedited removal authorities
Secretary Mayorkas has: ❌Refused to comply with the laws passed by Congress ❌Breached the public trust It is critical that the House vote to impeach him.
Today I will vote to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He has presided over the worst border crisis in generations — flagrantly violating the law and turning his back on his oath to protect Americans. He should not serve in office a day longer.
Our border was never more secure than it was under President Trump. Then @JoeBiden stumbled in and abandoned all of Trump's policies in favor of not enforcing the law at all. We never needed any new legislation. We needed Biden and his enablers like @RubenGallego and… https://t.co/Scgg7GB05q
Secretary Mayorkas has failed to uphold his constitutional duty of keeping our borders secure, uphold his oath to protect our nation, and has breached the public trust by repeatedly lying to Congress. We must impeach Secretary Mayorkas for his failure to enforce the law. https://t.co/lrdncKVHIV
.@RepMcClintock (R-CA) on Sec. Mayorkas Impeachment: "Cabinet secretaries can't serve two masters. They can be impeached for committing a crime related to their office, but not for carrying out presidential policy...I'm afraid that stunts like this don't help." https://t.co/UJw1gy0Vz4
Today, I will vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas for intentionally failing to secure the border. #IA04
Today, the House is expected to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas. We have got to get this done. 🎙@JamesTHarris https://t.co/r4gGeCJ3eI
.@TomiLahren: The only border “deal” actual conservatives should consider is full funding for the wall and a closed border. Until a mass deportation of the 10 million Biden let in are removed, our border should be air tight! https://t.co/lmZPHgLNdD
DHS Secretary Mayorkas has willfully and systemically refused to comply with federal immigration laws and breached the public trust. Today I’m voting to impeach Mayorkas. Accountability is HERE.
When we vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas later today, Democrats will either stand behind the policies of open borders, human and sex trafficking, 300 daily fentanyl deaths, and rape, or they will vote to impeach Mayorkas for blatantly violating his oath of office. https://t.co/FXrHSb9k0v

Joe Biden created the border crisis by undoing border security measures. He could solve this crisis by reversing his policies. @votetimscott: “If you can undo them, you can put them back again.” https://t.co/VyJeUYl9t5
Secretary Mayorkas’ political career is on the chopping block where it belongs – he has earned his own impeachment. He has failed to apply the laws that would stop this INVASION at the southern border. Today, I’ll be voting to uphold the rule of law and impeach him.
The border is a fight. But it’s a fight worth having. This week, @HouseGOP will impeach Sec. Mayorkas for his dereliction of duty, refusing to comply with our nation’s laws, and for lying to the American people. https://t.co/BjWQEY65Iq
