Mike Johnson warns Ukraine-border deal likely ‘dead on arrival’ in House –
Democrats and Republicans in the upper chamber have been negotiating for months on an agreement to #restrict #immigration policy in a bid to keep undocumented migrants from entering the United States.
While no compromise has yet been reached, House Speaker Mike #Johnson said today that “if rumors about the contents of the draft proposal are true, it would have been
dead on arrival
in the House anyway.”
Johnson also said he would support the effort to #impeach Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, who Republicans have accused of mishandling border security.
“When we return next week, by necessity, the House Homeland Security Committee will move forward with Articles of Impeachment against Secretary #Mayorkas. A vote on the floor will be held as soon as possible thereafter,” he wrote.
Impeachments of cabinet secretaries are exceedingly rare, and the Senate’s Democratic majority will almost certainly refuse to convict Mayorkas.
