Republicans are taking the first steps to formally impeach Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas for his handling of the ongoing southern border crisis.

DailyMail.com confirmed that the first impeachment hearing into Mayorkas will be held by the House Homeland Security Committee next week on January 10.

It comes after officials revealed over 302,000 people crossed the border illegally in December.

…

The secretary told MSNBC this morning that he would ‘most certainly’ comply with the committee’s impeachment investigation. 

But he said he’s currently focused on finding ‘solution to problems,’ including by working with senators to come to a bipartisan solution on border security measures. 

In addition, Mayorkas blamed the ongoing crisis on a 30-year broken immigration system – and also climate change. 

He told MSNBC that the challenge of ‘displaced people,’ not only in the U.S., but around the world is due to the ‘effects of climate change, poverty, increasing level of authoritarianism.’

Mayorkas also blamed Texas Governor Greg Abbott for not coordinating with other governors, presumably because Abbott refused to keep all the illegals in Texas, and started shipping them to Democrat run “Sanctuary Cities”. But I find this attack on Abbott bit puzzling, given Mayorkas claims global warming was partly responsible for driving the illegals from their homes. Surely Abbott was just looking out for the climate welfare of the illegals, by shipping them away from the scorching hot Texas climate to cooler Northern sanctuary cities like New York and Chicago. I mean we wouldn’t want the illegals to be forced to relocate again, when accelerated climate change makes Texas uninhabitable.

Do I need a /sarc tag?

Surprisingly, Mayorkas forgot to name Trump in his list of people he blames for the failure of the Biden administration to deter illegal immigration, but I’m sure that oversight will be corrected during the impeachment hearing.

Mayorkas isn’t alone in blaming climate change for his failures, Biden has been blaming climate change for years.

The developing tradition of left wing officials blaming climate change for their failure to deliver would be entertaining, if the failures weren’t so consequential. A few days ago Australia’s emergency minister blamed “climate change” for messing up weather predictions, leading to disastrously late flood warnings for Australians affected by December’s wild weather.

Despite this US and Australian climate posturing absurdity, my all time favourite climate change deflection attempt still goes to Egypt. In 2015, the Mayor of Alexandria blamed climate change for causing the river Nile to flood. Critics pointed out a lot of the problems were caused by drainage issues, and that some of the Alexandria drain maintenance money seemed to have been misappropriated on the mayor’s watch. And I’m pretty sure there is also evidence the River Nile might have flooded at least once or twice before the age of climate alarmism.
