The Republican-controlled House voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The vote marks the first time in nearly 150 years that a Cabinet secretary has been impeached.

House Republicans have spent months investigating the secretary’s actions as they’ve aimed to make immigration and border security a key election issue.

    Same thing that would have happened if this failed this vote, absolutely nothing. This is just the Republicans throwing a temper tantrum to drum up news coverage and to give the talking heads over on Faux News something to yammer on about for a while. Expect to see the headline “Crisis at the Border” used prominently by Faux for a while.
