It looks as though Alejandro Mayorkas is going to keep his job as homeland security secretary after all.<\/p>\n

You see, the U.S. House impeached Mayorkas because Republicans didn’t like the way he is running his department’s immigration policy. So … lacking a “high crime and misdemeanor,” they impeached him anyway.<\/p>\n

The case went to the Senate, which is controlled by Democrats.<\/p>\n

The Senate then managed, by a narrow partisan vote, to dismiss the impeachment charges against the DHS boss.<\/p>\n

I’m an admitted partisan on this issue. Mayorkas didn’t deserve to be impeached simply because he has done a lousy job of controlling our southern border. To the Senate Democrats’ credit, they managed to hold together to fend off this scam trial.<\/p>\n

My hope is that Mayorkas has been issued a wake-up call and tends to the need to protect our southern border against those seeking illegal entry into the United States.<\/p>\n\n
