Everything to know about the April 8 eclipse in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #eclipse | SaltWireWASHINGTON - The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives this week is due to deliver its impeachment case against President Joe Biden's top border official, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, to the Democratic-majority Senate.
The U.S. Border Patrol made more than 1 million arrests of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally in the past six months, according to internal agency statistics reviewed by Reuters, a pace similar to record-breaking totals during Biden's first three years in office.Reuters/Ipsos polling shows that immigration is the top concern for Republicans and the party has used the issue to motivate their base.
Representative Bennie Thompson, the top Democrat on the homeland committee, has dismissed the impeachment proceedings as a politically motivated"sham."Several constitutional experts have said the allegations against Mayorkas raised by Republicans do not meet the high bar for impeachment outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
Other scholars have raised concerns that Republicans have weaponized impeachment for political gain, setting a dangerous precedent for the divided U.S. government. Hardline Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene began to push for Biden's impeachment immediately after he took office in January 2021, a move that observers described as revenge for House Democrats twice impeaching Trump, a historic first. Both times Trump was acquitted by the Senate.
