In a renewed effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has introduced a new resolution, following the dismissal of her previous attempt earlier this month. The House is set to consider a Democratic-led motion on Thursday to block this latest impeachment bid.

Greene's latest resolution was introduced as "privileged," setting a two-day deadline for the House to take action. However, it is anticipated to face a similar fate to her previous attempt, as lawmakers are expected to refer the resolution to the Homeland Security Committee, effectively ending its progress. Despite the potential setback, Greene has stated her determination to reintroduce the resolution until it succeeds.

In her seven-page resolution, Greene accuses Mayorkas of violating both federal law and the Constitution by allegedly failing to ensure "operational control of the border" and protect against an "invasion." While some Republicans, including Rep. Tom McClintock of California, agree with criticism towards Mayorkas, McClintock emphasized that these concerns do not constitute impeachable offenses.

McClintock also raised concerns that if Greene's impeachment efforts are successful, Democrats could potentially target conservatives on the Supreme Court and Republican officials when they hold the House majority again. He warned that Republicans, by supporting these impeachment resolutions, would be endorsing an "unconstitutional abuse of power."

Other Republican representatives, including Reps. Darrell Issa of California, Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, and Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, who supported the referral of the previous resolution, have argued that further investigation into Mayorkas' actions should be allowed before an impeachment vote takes place.

The Department of Homeland Security spokesperson dismissed Greene's impeachment measure as a "baseless attack" with "no merit," labeling it a harmful distraction from urgent national security priorities. The spokesperson stressed the necessity for Congress to focus on essential tasks such as funding the government, immigration system reform, and providing necessary resources to the department to address critical issues like fentanyl and border security.

It remains to be seen how the House will ultimately decide on Greene's latest impeachment resolution against Secretary Mayorkas. As the debate unfolds, both sides present contrasting arguments about the justification, timing, and potential consequences of such actions.
