So yesterday, the Republicans voted incredibly narrowly to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security

Alejandro Mayorkas. It was very narrow because a few Republicans defected, like three

Republicans defected, and Republicans, as we'll discuss in just a little while, have a shrinking

House majority. But they were able on a 214 to 213 party line vote impeach the Homeland Security Secretary.

getting picked up by border patrol, and then being released on parole into the country never to show

Secretary of Homeland Security. To be totally fair to Alejandro Mayorkas, he works for Joe Biden. So here is the other side of the impeachment, because there's really

two questions. One is, is the border policy horrific and should it be highlighted? Yes, it's horrific. Yes,

it should be highlighted. Then there's the second question, whether that merits impeachment. So on the

merits of impeachment, this depends on what you think impeachment is for. So for nearly all of American history, people thought that what impeachment. So on the merits of impeachment, this depends on what you think
