As The Gateway Pundit reported, Greene introduced the resolution following a tragic incident in which two of her constituents were killed by human traffickers near the border. These deaths and many more are the results of Biden and Mayorkas’ failure to control the border and prevent the entry of terrorists, human traffickers, drugs, and other contraband into the United States.

The House voted 209-201 Monday night to sideline a resolution introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for his disastrous mishandling of the border, even as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) greases the skids on a funding package that punts a broader border policy battle until the new year.
Greene introduced the privileged resolution Friday, one day after two of her constituents were killed in Texas in a head-on collision with a car driven by a human smuggler evading police.
Privileged resolutions require House floor action within two legislative days after introduction. Rather than voting on the underlying motion, Republican leadership chose to address the resolution through a Democratic motion to refer it to the Homeland Security Committee. Democrats altered their motion before the vote after previously preferring a vote simply to table the resolution.

On Monday night, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to refer to committee the resolution from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. With a close vote of 209-201, the move essentially kills the resolution, which was introduced last week as a privileged motion.

There’s been chatter about impeaching Mayorkas for years for his deriliction of his duties at the southern border, even since before Republicans took control of the chamber. Greene has been particularly passionate about impeaching Mayorkas. The Republican Study Committee (RSC) threw their support behind such an idea back in July.
Fox News’ Chad Pergram pointed to he votes as “the gentleperson’s agreement” to kill the resolution.
