Several Republican lawmakers have publicly criticized Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his handling of border security, following his impeachment. Senators Rick Scott and Ted Cruz, along with representatives from the Homeland GOP and others, have accused Mayorkas of failing to secure the nation's borders, refusing to comply with laws passed by Congress, and breaching the public trust. Cruz mentioned that impeaching Mayorkas was the right thing to do as he has aided and abetted the criminal invasion of the United States. The Homeland GOP highlighted Mayorkas' blatant disregard for the law and the extremely concerning implications for national security, labeling him a complete failure as DHS Secretary. They argue that the Senate should hold a trial to hold him accountable, emphasizing the need for action 10 days after his impeachment and the Senate's constitutional duty.
I voted to impeach Secretary Mayorkas because he intentionally failed to secure the border.
Reminder: it’s been 10 days since Secretary Mayorkas was impeached. He’s still betraying our country by refusing to follow the law and stop the invasion. The Senate needs to do its constitutional duty and hold a trial. The American people are watching!

Secretary Mayorkas’ blatant disregard for the law has extremely concerning implications for our national security. @HouseGOP held him accountable. It’s time for the Senate to do the same. https://t.co/6O0f2Z2197
Impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas was the right thing to do. The Senate should convict him since he has aided and abetted the criminal invasion of the United States. https://t.co/BZMctM8kQp
Mayorkas has TOTALLY failed to keep our border secure. The Senate should put him on trial immediately! Who agrees? https://t.co/1iVtO4byUJ
