EXCLUSIVE: Republicans plot impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas with new report blasting his ‘coldly calculated’ border policies

Republicans have begun the third phase of their investigation into s. Alejandro Mayorkas this time focused on the ‘human cost’ of the border crisis.

The Homeland Security Committee is conducting a five-phase investigation into Mayorkas and his decisions that led to unprecedented illegal border crossings. A process that could lead to the impeachment of President Joe Biden’s DHS secretary.

At the end of the investigation, the panel will present its findings to the Judiciary Committee, which will then decide whether to proceed with the prosecution of Mayorkas.

The report examines the effect that ‘Mayorkas’ coldly calculated, political decision to open the border is having on Americans, migrants and law enforcement.

“This self-inflicted crisis has exacted a terrible human cost across our country,” Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green told DailyMail.com in a statement about the report.

“Since Secretary Mayorkas took office, we have watched in horror as fentanyl has spread more and more in our communities, criminal illegal aliens have poured across the border, and law enforcement has been completely overwhelmed. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of vulnerable people, including children, have been trafficked by the cartels or smuggled across the border into forced labor, the sex trade and other horrific situations,’ said Rep. Green (R-Tenn.) added.

‘Secretary Mayorkas’ dereliction of duty is central to these horrors, and instead of changing course on the policies that brought us here, he just doubled down on their defense. This is unacceptable, and we will continue to inform the public about what this crisis has cost us all.’

The second section of the report looked at the consequences of law enforcement from the extremely stressful position – referring to the 152 border agents who have committed suicide since 2007.

Section one focused on fentanyl, noting that 105,000 have died from overdoses in the US from this dangerous drug, as well as others illegally trafficked across the southern border.

In 2022, the Drug Enforcement Agency seized about 58 million pills laced with fentanyl and 13,000 pounds of fentanyl powder.

The fentanyl and drug trafficking crisis exploded at the border under Mayorkas’ leadership. Section one of the report notes that 105,000 people died of fentanyl overdoses in 2022 – and the Drug Enforcement Agency seized about 58 million fentanyl-laced pills and 13,000 pounds of fentanyl powder in the same year

Fentanyl has permeated the country so much that communities in the Alaskan wilderness — accessible only by seaplane or snow machine — like the 800-person town of Chevak have found fentanyl pills, according to testimony from Sandy Snodgrass with the AK Fentanyl Response Project.

And with facilities backed up, more agents are pulled from the front lines to do administrative work, so “the cartels have more gaps to exploit,” according to the report.

“They often use sophisticated tactics such as pushing one group of illegal aliens across the border in one sector, knowing that Border Patrol agents will respond, and then smuggling drugs like fentanyl into the unguarded parts of the border that they created initial tactics,” it read.

CBP and ICE personnel report feeling “completely overwhelmed,” telling the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General (IG) that they can’t do the job they signed up for and want to quit, and many are seeing significant declines in their mental health.

The report also notes that even though Mayorkas has instructed agents to prioritize the arrest of those who have fled the U.S. with criminal backgrounds, the number of criminal migrants arrested as a percentage of total arrests has dropped.

In fiscal year 2020, 90 percent of ICE arrests were of migrants with a criminal record — in fiscal year 2022, only 32 percent of those arrested by ICE had a criminal record.

CBP also stopped reporting how many migrants died on US soil, the report said.

Mayorkas’ coldly calculated, political decision to open the border.

Perhaps no professional group has been hit harder by Mayorkas’ border crisis than federal, state and local law enforcement.
