The Alejandro Mayorkas impeachment has gone as expected: the GOP failed to stand together as a solid unit and Mayorkas dodged a bullet. Mayorkas is the Homeland Security Secretary and is as useful as ice skates on a blowfish as the border has more illegal migrants coming across as China's got communists.
Along with the miscreants comes the fentanyl, cocaine, sex trafficking, murderers and terrorists, but there are some good people too who are looking to take jobs away from Americans, or at least take our tax money to pay for their stay, and even hand them a credit card for all their shopping needs.
Chinese nationalists have been coming into the country in record numbers. What could go wrong?

Anyway, the Republican lawmakers did not hold together with enough of them voting with Democrats and defeating the resolution. Had they held, Mayorkas would have been the first secretary to be impeached since 1876. The vote was 214-216.
Republican defectors, aka RINOs, included Reps. Ken Buck (R-CO), Tom McClintock (R-CA) and Mike Gallagher (R-WI).
House GOP Vice Chairman Blake Moore (R-UT) reportedly flipped to a “no” vote at the last moment to give Republicans another chance to bring up the impeachment resolution in the future.

Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) was the sole missing vote. He has been away from Washington for several weeks to undergo a stem cell transplant as he battles blood cancer. He needs to get his priorities straight. . . just kidding.
Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who had missed earlier votes, showed up just in time to cast a “no” vote against impeachment.
Meanwhile, Mayorkas is laughing at the GOP and you know what? They deserve it.
