Because Secretary Mayorkas has not committed an impeachable offense. I disagree strongly with how he's handling the border. I think the border is porous. I think it's a threat to this country, but it's not a high crime or misdemeanor. It's not treasonous, it's bribery, it's not the crimes, the issues that our founders set forth in the Constitution, and it's wrong. We are using impeachment in the last five, six years, you know, in a way that's just inappropriate and it means really the integrity of the House.
