Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has to date been unsuccessful in convincing sufficient Republicans to take motion in opposition to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to take motion to cease tidal waves of migrants from crossing illegally into the nation.

In latest weeks, she got here up brief in an effort to impeach him over dereliction of responsibility, however she introduced on Sunday she would strive once more after the Thanksgiving vacation in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

“This time, the Republicans in Congress better deliver different results,” Greene mentioned on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Mayorkas must be impeached, and the invasion must stop.”

“Americans deserve security and sovereignty. After the holiday break, I’ll reintroduce my articles to impeach Secretary Mayorkas. Congress must choose between protecting our homeland or the Biden regime. I will not stop fighting for border security and the rule of law,” she wrote on the X platform in a submit that contained a video clip of her interview.

Eight Republicans joined with all voting Democrats final week to approve a movement that kicked Greene’s impeachment decision to the House Homeland Security Committee, which is already investigating Mayorkas for alleged dereliction of responsibility in a probe that could lead on to impeachment proceedings sooner or later. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has derided what a spokesperson referred to as “reckless impeachment charades” by congressional Republicans.

Some Republican holdouts defined that they do need to transfer forward with impeaching Mayorkas, however in a deliberate method that isn’t rushed and ensures that he can be convicted within the Senate, which is a really excessive bar in the meanwhile.

“We didn’t kill a Mayorkas impeachment. We voted to launch hearings and make our case to the entire nation. If we impeached Mayorkas today, the Senate would have rejected it today,” one of many holdouts, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), said in a submit to X. “House Democrats will now have to defend Biden or admit his border disaster. We can win this.”

Greene, nonetheless, emphasised the significance of transferring rapidly in opposition to Mayorkas, citing the excessive quantity of drug trafficking related to the migrant border disaster in addition to the elevated potential for a terrorist assault.

“It’s absolutely outrageous,” she advised Bartiromo. “I serve on the Homeland Committee. We have had hearing after hearing listening to parents cry over their children murdered by fentanyl. I mean, we are wondering how many … dead American bodies are going to have to pile up before Republicans in Congress get serious about impeaching Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.”

“MTG,” as she is understood, defined in a brand new guide which is ready for launch within the coming days why she believes Republicans regularly fail to ship on points their voters need.

A chapter titled “What is the GOP doing?” that was supplied to the Washington Examiner’s “Washington Secrets” column says that Republicans are frightened that taking daring motion that their voters need would value them energy and positions.

“Fear of consequences. Fear of reprisal. Fear of lost influence,” she writes. “It paralyzes everyone from Republican members of Congress to administrative officials to special office holders to attorney generals. These people are responsible for not doing the right thing, and their inaction costs us all.”

The Examiner noted further: “It is a harsh assessment of her colleagues but one she is uniquely qualified to make since she owes no one in the House GOP caucus for her position of influence and won reelection with 65.9% of the vote.”

“The conservative base is ready; they see the problems and want change. Yet over and over, I and other conservatives fighting for an America-first, MAGA agenda must come home to our districts full of frustration and impotence because the rest of our party won’t get things done,” she wrote.
