An even better source:

Mayorkas faced two articles of impeachment filed by the Homeland Security Committee arguing that he “willfully and systematically” refused to enforce existing immigration laws and that he breached the public trust by lying to Congress and saying the border was secure.

But critics of the impeachment effort said the charges against Mayorkas amount to a policy dispute over Biden’s border policy, hardly rising to the Constitution’s bar of high crimes and misdemeanors.

The charges against Mayorkas would next go to the Senate for a trial, but neither Democratic nor Republican senators have shown interest in the matter and it may be indefinitely shelved to a committee.

Didn't a convey just go to the Texas border to find out things aren't that bad? And doesn't Biden have THROUGH THE ROOF numbers of people being stopped at the border? Y'all just hate for the sake of hating huh?

Yes that’s exactly what’s going on. Desperately searching for something, anything to justify the hate

Impeaching somebody over their boss' policy decisions doesn't seem like a correct use of the procedure to me, but finding a scapegoat to punsh over a crisis that republicans don't want solved has at least the appearance of doing something, so bravo for that.
