Biden impeachment effort grows over open borders policy

 Just the News:

Rep. Lance Gooden, a Texas Republican whose district has been overrun by the surge in illegal immigration, says the border insecurity that Joe Biden unleashed isn't just impacting border states. It's spreading to the interior of the country, and with it the temptation to impeach the president if Republicans gain control of Congress next year.

"I really believe that impeachment could be on the table," Gooden told Just the News in a recent interview. "And I would support that, certainly."

Gooden has been investigating how the Biden administration and nonprofit groups have been funding a mass effort to move illegal aliens from the southern border to the interior of the country, uncovering travel packages that assist the migrants and a weakening of identity security provisions so the migrants can even use their arrest warrants as an acceptable form of ID to board American planes.

Gooden, like all but a handful of Republicans, opposed the Democrats' two failed impeachment efforts against former President Donald Trump. He says while those actions lowered the bar for impeachment, Biden's record of mismanagement qualifies him for removal under even a tougher strandard.

"The bar was so low to impeach President Trump," he told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "And even if the bar were raised exponentially, I believe that President Biden has met that requirement. What we're seeing at the border is not just criminal, but it is immoral.

"The fact that our United States government is putting its own citizens behind those of other nations, and also encouraging human trafficking. And what we're seeing [is] they're filling the bank accounts and the cash stashes of the cartel. It's really a travesty. And it's not what this country should be about."

When Sen. Ted Cruz first suggested a Biden impeachment was possible a month ago, he was panned by the media, and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell said it would not happen.

But since then, a growing chorus of Republicans are arguing for it, and even leaders like Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, the No. 3 Republican in the House, have been forced to acknowledge the rising voices,

"Anything is on the table when we are in the majority," Stefanik told Just the News, noting the border crisis is now inflaming her own state as illegal migrants have been shipped north to places like New York's Weschester County.

"We're focused like a laser on the crises in America, and what I hear from voters even in my district in Northern New York — because I represent border patrol officers who have been transferred again and again and again to the southern border — is that the crisis after crisis is a catastrophe.

I think Biden's dereliction of duty on enforcing US immigration laws is clearly an impeachable offense.  He is also using US resources to traffick the illegals to various points inland from the border in an attempt to change the demographics of certain areas for political purposes.  

The political opposition to Biden's lawlessness is growing and it has become an overwhelming majority.  It is likely to be one of the reasons the Republicans should retake Congress this year.
