"Impeaching Mayorkas would have moved the ball forward. Unfortunately, his impeachment was blocked this week by three cretinous House Republicans: Ken Buck of Colorado, Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin and Tom McClintock of California. You can get some Republicans not to step on a rake all of the time, and all Republicans not to step on a rake some of the time, but you can't get all Republicans not to step on a rake all of the time."
"The crisis at the border is the No. 1 issue with voters, and it's killing the Democrats. To my surprise, my party -- the stupid party -- has done something smart (which Fox News tried to talk them out of). They've forced Democrats to vote on the impeachment of the man orchestrating the invasion, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
"Their plan: Work with open-borders, amnesty-supporting Republicans to concoct an immigration "deal" that's way worse than what we have now. If Republicans are fool enough to vote for it, then they own the border crisis. And if they reject it, the media will never stop telling us that it was a fantastic bill, it would have totally shut down illegal immigration, but Republicans rejected it for churlish reasons.
"The most cursory glance at the immigration "deal" shows that it would do absolutely nothing to protect the border -- and a lot to make things worse.
"One example of many: The deal expressly provides for up to 5,000 illegals to come into our country every day. That's 2 million a year, or about twice as many as under Presidents Bush and Obama. Biden can admit more, but that's the bare minimum of illegals to be admitted. It's as if Senate negotiators were playing a trick to see how many members of Congress actually read the bill.
"Republicans seem poised to reject this monstrosity. But keeping bad things from happening is a pretty low bar, insurmountable only by Sen. James Lankford and Fox News. It's when we get to the Moving the Ball Forward step that the GOP usually chokes.
