President Joe Biden has not hidden his intentions when it comes to immigration. In one infamous video in 2022, he bragged about an “unrelenting” stream of immigration that would turn whites into a minority. Sitting next to him and smiling while he made this boast was current Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The DHS secretary is a former board member of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), which exists to move migrants into the United States at taxpayer expense. His intentions are hardly surprising either.

Congressional Republicans successfully impeached Secretary Mayorkas last week, winning by one vote. The HIAS says “dangerous conspiracies” are behind the effort. Former ADL chairman Abraham Foxman took to Time to denounce “antisemitic rhetoric and conspiracy theories.” Vice said the “far right” is celebrating the impeachment, driven by “proponents of the ‘great replacement’ theory.” Of course, one way to prove that “theory” would simply be to replay Joe Biden saying that nothing will stop immigration until whites are a minority, while Mr. Mayorkas smiles next to him.

However, the case Republicans actually make against the DHS secretary is careful, legalistic, and restrained. If the rule of law existed and public officials were interested in protecting the national interest, Secretary Mayorkas would probably be convicted by the Senate. Unfortunately, we do not live in such a country. Still, the articles of impeachment are worth reading just to know what is at stake.

The case made by the articles accuses Secretary Mayorkas of having “repeatedly violated laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security,” with millions of illegals having entered the country “in large part because of his illegal conduct.” It directly accuses him of “refusing” to obey the law.

Specifically, it charges that Secretary Mayorkas “willfully refused to comply with the detention mandate set forth in Section 235(b)(2)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act” which says aliens must be detained before removal proceedings. “Instead of complying with this requirement, Alejandro N. Mayorkas implemented a catch and release scheme, whereby such aliens are unlawfully released, even without effective mechanisms to ensure appearances before the immigration courts for removal proceedings or to ensure removal in the case of aliens ordered removed.” By the end of 2023, the backlog for immigration courts was about three million people (presumably more now), which is why President Donald Trump had implemented the Remain in Mexico policy in the first place. This was one of the first things President Joe Biden reversed, fighting all the way to the Supreme Court to do so.

The articles further charge Secretary Mayorkas with willfully refusing to comply with the detention mandate in Section 235(b)(1)(B)(ii), which says aliens in expedited removal proceedings “shall be detained for further consideration of the application for asylum.” Again, Secretary Mayorkas implemented a “catch and release scheme” instead. Congress also said this violates 235(b)(1)(B)(iii)(IV), which says aliens that are determined not to have a credible fear of persecution must be detained. Again, the “catch and release scheme” violates the law. Essentially, the Secretary of Homeland Security has simply refused to detain aliens before hearings.

Section 236(c) of the Act says that aliens who cannot be admitted into the United States because of issues related to criminal justice or terrorism must be taken into custody once released by law enforcement. However, DHS has issued guidelines saying that just because someone is a removable noncitizen should not be the basis of action, and that even a conviction alone should not force agents to detain aliens theoretically subject to mandatory arrest and detention. According to the 2022 ruling United States v. Texas, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit said that such guidelines have created a new policy so “extreme” that it amounts to an “abdication” of “statutory responsibilities.” The articles of impeachment particularly note that DHS had replaced Congress’s mandates with “concerns of equity and race,” exceeding its powers.

The “conservative” Supreme Court reversed the United States v. Texas decision 8-1 on the grounds Texas cannot challenge the federal government’s immigration policies. This led conservatives back to the familiar territory that only the federal government can enforce immigration laws, but the White House refuses to do so. The only measure left is for Congress to impeach White House officials, but this too is what the White House calls “unconstitutional.” However, as the case notes on page 14, the Supreme Court directed Congress to use its own powers to check the White House. “Here, in light of the inability of injured parties [states] to seek judicial relief to remedy the refusal of Alejandro N. Mayorkas to comply with Federal immigration laws, impeachment is Congress’s only viable option.”

According to section 212(d)(5)(A) of the INA, parole is only to be granted on a case-by-case basis, but Secretary Mayorkas “paroled aliens en masse in order to release them from mandatory detention.” He is also accused of inventing, reopening, or expanding categorial parole programs “never authorized by Congress” in order to admit aliens from various countries, “which enabled hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens to enter the United States in violation of the laws enacted by Congress.”

According to Section 236(a) of the Immigration and National Act, the Secretary has power to release aliens arrested on an “administrative warrant.” In order to use this more broadly, the Secretary was “retroactively issuing administrative warrants in an attempt to circumvent section 235(b)(2) of such Act,” in what a US District Court called a “sleight of hand” and “administrative sophistry at its worst.”

The consequences, as detailed by the impeachment case, were that the aliens encountered as inadmissible at ports of entry increased from 590,000 aliens each fiscal year from 2017–2020, up to 1,400,000 in fiscal year 2021, over 2,300,000 in fiscal year 2022, and over 2,400,000 in fiscal year 2023. About 130,000 illegals a year on average entered the country without being detained or turned back from 2017–2020. “[T]hat number more than trebled to 400,000 in fiscal year 2021, 600,000 in fiscal year 2022, and 750,000 in fiscal year 2023,” says the case.

The impeachment case also argues that “American communities both along the Southwest border and across the United States have been devastated by the dramatic growth in illegal entries, the number of aliens unlawfully present, and substantial rise in the number of aliens unlawfully granted parole, creating a fiscal and humanitarian crisis and dramatically degrading the quality of life of the residents of those communities.” New York City is specifically identified, along with the complaints of Mayor Eric Adams that the city is past “our breaking point.”

Furthermore, because of the lack of enforcement, the number of illegals dying while trying to enter the United States increased from about 700 people to about 1,300 people a year from fiscal year 2021 through 2023. The number of unaccompanied children sent north has also increased, with about 450,000 during Biden’s tenure. The case also argues that “alien smuggling organizations have gained tremendous wealth,” with estimated revenues rising from about $500,000,000 in 2018 to approximately $13,000,000,000 in 2022. The backlog for immigration courts has more than doubled, with Secretary Mayorkas himself admitting that migrants often wait years for a court date, assuming they even intend to show up. Nonetheless, he apparently thinks the best way to solve this problem is to overload the system entirely.

The surge in fentanyl receives significant attention in the articles. The amount of fentanyl seized by the Border Patrol increased from about 4,800 pounds in 2020 to 27,000 pounds in fiscal year 2023. More than 70,000 Americans died from fentanyl poisoning in 2022, and fentanyl is the number-one killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. The number of aliens encountered who were on the Terrorist Watch List has also increased. Even as these crises build, Border Patrol agents and Federal Air Marshals have been diverted from law enforcement to process illegal aliens and release them into the country.

“In all of this,” the case says, “Alejandro N. Mayorkas willfully and systemically refused to comply with the immigration laws, failed to control the border to the detriment of national security, compromised public safety, and violated the rule of law and separation of powers in the Constitution, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.”

It accuses him of having made false statements to Congress, namely that the border is “no less secure than it was previously,” that the border is “closed,” and that the government has “operational control.” It further argues that he made false statements to Congress regarding the vetting of Afghan refugees, that apprehended aliens with no legal basis to remain in the United States were being quickly removed, that US Border Patrol agents whipped illegal aliens, and that he ignored subpoenas and delayed or denied access to DHS records.

Critically, the case says that Secretary Mayorkas, despite being advised of the consequences, terminated the Migrant Protection Protocols, border wall construction, and asylum cooperative agreements that would have prevented or lessened the border surge.

It concludes:

In all of this, Alejandro N. Mayorkas breached the public trust by knowingly making false statements to Congress and the American people and avoiding lawful oversight in order to obscure the devastating consequences of his willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law and carry out his statutory duties. He has also breached the public trust by willfully refusing to carry out his statutory duty to control the border and guard against illegal entry, notwithstanding the calamitous consequences of his abdication of that duty.

Wherefore Alejandro N. Mayorkas, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national and border security, the safety of the American people, and to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his duties and the rule of law. Alejandro N. Mayorkas thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

Unfortunately, none of this is going to matter. The White House plans on mostly ignoring the battle, relying on advocacy groups to take the fight to the Republicans and charge that it is the GOP that does not want to solve the border crisis. The Republicans’ baffling attempt to move forward with yet another amnesty bill a few weeks ago was an unforced assist to the Democrats. President Biden said that “history will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games.” Indeed, he tried to defend the Secretary by calling him a “Cuban immigrant who came to the United States with his family as political refugees,” an attempt to cloak the DHS Secretary as a victim. Instead, the President unwittingly showed that the man in charge of Homeland Security has little connection to the United States and a vested interest in lowering barriers to mass immigration. In modern America, such alienation from the national interest is a political asset. Not surprisingly, Senate Democrats, including the supposed “moderate” Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), are eager simply to dismiss the charges, even skipping a trial.

Unless some Senate Republicans — perhaps prompted by Donald Trump — decide to make a stand, the Secretary will be swiftly acquitted. No changes will be made, and the invasion will continue. Still, the charges speak for themselves. They show that the “rule of law” in modern America does not count for much. They are a useful reminder for American citizens about the way our rulers view us. While the government demands our loyalty, sacrifice, and money to defend “Our Democracy” and the “rules-based international order,” it will not even carry out its most basic responsibility. Perhaps it needs to be reminded that loyalty must go two ways.

  1. Impeachment, chimpeachment, none of it matters unless the Jewish Power is named and it is explained why agendas such as this is pushed.

    When THAT DISCOURSE becomes mainstream, all will follow.

  2. Impeachment?

    Where is Otoya Yamaguchi when we need him to deal with these heeb rat fucks?

    Let me tell you how low the lefties are stooping now.
    In Nashville yesterday, a group of obvious feds who showed up downtown on a UHaul truck (just like Patriot Front……via UHaul truck, and why not? It’s probably the same feds), calling themselves “Blood Tribe” marched in all red shirts and black masks carrying huge black flags with swastikas on them. Their outfits and flags were perfect matches. The police didn’t let people near them for the most part, but they momentarily walked through some very comfortable “pedestrians” whom latter described how horrified they were. A couple of leftwing local politicians just happened to be strolling around downtown that day to get selfie videos to post with “Blood Tribe” in the background.

    I guess this garbage is supposed to supercharge the Nashville vote.

    People, it’s DISGUSTING that the feds would stoop to this in obvious coordination with the local left.

    Remember, the left is engaging in Agitation-Propaganda (Agitiprop). Don’t fall for it, no matter how insulting and infuriating it may be. They are looking for the next James Fields. Warn others.

    Does Biden know throughout History when there are distint groups of people in the same Country, The group in power always treats the groups/s not lin power like garbage/unairly at least at first (If there are exceptions please correct me) Usually the Majority is in power though South Afriaca was a well known Exception where The Whites were in Power even though Whites were a Minority. Yet so many Whites want to become a Minority, When Bill Clinton said to an Almost All White Audience at a University in Portland I think it was Portland State University Whites would be a Minority in a few decades The Almost All White Crowd Cheered, Michael Moore who does Political Films says he cant wait until that happens, I just hope I am alive when it happens, thre are MANY Examples, In The USA other groups have Historical Gripes, When they get Power they likely will look for revenge (Based on History) So Whites wanting to be a Minority Makes Whites look VERY STUPID or Masochistic.
    I am surprised Joe Biden who is about 80 years old and claims to be a student of history, Does not know this

  5. Thomasina says:

    Whites have served their usefulness. Their parents and grandparents fought and died in wars for the predator class, but the current Whites (enough of them, anyway) are no longer being fooled by the propaganda and lies. They’re refusing to play along.

    Therefore, they’re having to bring in some new prey (the illegals), a fresh batch of illiterate dupes, marks and suckers who wouldn’t know the importance of “freedom of speech” if it bit them in the ass.

    The predator class have something to say to Whites: “You are done. You do not own this country. We do, and we’ll do whatever we want with it. Try to stop us.”

    Of course, predators never succeed once they kill off the host. Their time will come, and they know this. That’s why they’re frightened.

    The wealthy want illegals to keep wages down, so the flow will never stop. Back in the late 19th, early 20th century when the ruling class was almost completely Waspish, those against low wage immigration lost. Nowadays, when the ruling class feels it has no kinship at all to the working class, there is zero chance of stopping the influx. Democracy, as practiced in the US, doesn’t work to benefit the majority.

    The wealthy want illegals to keep wages down

    We should always point this out, but cheap labor is just half the equation. The other half is cheap churn and cheap SCALE (Size Complexity Atomization Liberalism Elitism). The toilet paper makers sell more toilet paper, the welfare office, DMV, etc. need to hire more Shaniquas, governments have more people on the tax farm, Walmart sells more gewgaws, educrats have more students and more jobs for otherwie unemployable edumacation majors, white neighbors get more expensive so realtors start churning home sales, and on and on. The economy expands to meet the needs of the expanding economy.

    If we can pack in 20 million more people by the end of the “Biden” administration, and they all spend $5 with their government transfer payments buying cheap crap at your Dollar General, you’re a goddam multi-millionaire. You live in Elysium, so what do you care that whole cities are de-gentrified and no-go zones for white Americans and there’s no room for more parks or wilderness preserves?

  9. Specifically, it charges that Secretary Mayorkas “willfully refused to comply with the detention mandate set forth in Section 235(b)(2)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act” which says aliens must be detained before removal proceedings.

    If this is true the guy ought to be thrown out of office. My searches concentrated on sites defending the man, and the best they could do was to claim that Presidents of both parties had ignored the “detention” mandate.

    My conclusion: 1) Guilty As Charged, and 2) the big brass of both US Political Parties want open borders, no matter what they say in their statements.

    Yes, that’s what I’ve been saying too. Wages are only half the equation. If wages go up, they just pass it on, like we’re seeing right now. These new immigrants are creating demand, causing inflation, allowing the corporations to pass on the costs.

    But every single one of these new immigrants need food, cutlery, plates, shoes, coats, pants, a sofa to sit on, a table to eat at, something to sleep on, blankets, toiletries, education, and the list goes on. Corporations and the Chamber of Commerce don’t care whether the American people end up paying for a lot of it or are squeezed, their country destroyed. All they care about is their wallet.

    They are bringing in a new batch of dupes and marks, more cows to milk, people who are clamoring for the American way of life. They don’t care whether these people have morals or destroy what was America, only that they buy.

    Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mike Benz (I think that was his name ) highlighted government censorship, but that’s only half of the equation too. Who are the State Department, Department of Justice, CIA, NGO’s, FBI, DHS (and the rest of the alphabet soup of government enforcers) protecting?

    Answer: the multinational corporations who own more and more companies (monopolizing whole industries).

    Corporations (with the assistance of the government) have seized control of most of the Western world and they do not care about us – at all.

    – Impeachment Case Should Matter, Though It Won’t

    It won’t because they put each other where they are, same cabal, and because the scheme of monotheism, then ‘state and paper ‘law, weren’t to benefit us, neither coin or paper ‘money. When some scribble themselves as dictators, or ‘judges, then threaten if we dont want their scheme, concoct words such as ‘sedition’, and people go along, hands away power. Failure to use natural rights.

    I think some that supposed ‘law such as that, they scrawled as plan to use later. In my opinion concocted ‘shays rebellion’ story later than is claimed, with their bogus ‘sedition’ word. Supposed ‘judges have done similar using ‘case law’, have noted increase use of ‘thats been around sixty years’ type taunts in so-called ‘judgments, as if how long a tyrany makes any difference. ‘tv court’ and ‘police propaganda has been to dumb the population.

    Would note on in-migration, they deflect from ‘lawyers and ‘judges, and what else, ‘police, has been most under recognized threat pressure, part of schemes, layers beside ‘federal’. ‘homeland’ for who. Suggest make note, police are psych scheme to oppress, so we dont guard our territory, or ourselves.

    Last on word schemes, ‘impeach’ is nonsense, ‘im peach’, nevermind supposed ‘greek or other claims. Also on supposed ‘judgments’ when people try to claim ‘right to a ‘fair judge, when they scribble ‘judgments how you have no rights, while trying to sound legitimate, they use ‘im partial’, instead of the word neutral. Its on purpose. Or they combine ‘fair and impartial’, which ‘impartial cancels fair.

    Appreciate the article by Gregory, important subject.

  12. I am glad to see that Gregory Cook has finally stopped pretending that the problem with Mayorkas—a representative specimen of the (((group))) whose members constitute not just Biden’s advisers but his brain as well—is his neo-Bolshevik politics, his own status as an immigrant, or some other point-evasive characteristic that he incidentally possesses.

    That stuff is all in the past. Here, at last, Cook shines the light on Mayorkas’s Jewishness, the engine that drives all of his thoughts and actions, especially his murderous hatred for the white Christian people whose country, society, and culture he came to the USA to destroy, via immigration and whatever other means he could avail himself of.

    Here follow representative samples of Cook’s frank analysis:

    1) […]
    2) […]
    3) […]
    4) […]
    5) […]

    More to come.

Mayorkas to comply with Federal immigration laws, impeachment is Congress’s only viable option.”

    I say:

    I got a VIABLE OPTION for the US Congress besides the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas.

    Operating on the principle that optimism about eventual political victory abounds within the heart of the populist White Core American nation, I humbly and modestly suggest that Baby Boomer Jew foreigner Alejandro Mayorkas be arrested, convicted and imprisoned for the crime of aiding and abetting the illegal alien invasion of the USA and for criminally attacking the safety, security and sovereignty of the American people.

    Mayorkas can be brought in and arrested on charges that he is operating as a member of the BIDEN ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATE.

    Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, Antony Blinken and Alejandro Mayorkas are aiding and abetting the illegal alien invasion of the USA.

    Biden, Harris, Garland, Blinken and Mayorkas must all be immediately arrested for aiding and abetting illegal alien invaders and for illegally giving the illegal alien invaders safe harbor.

    Biden and Harris and Garland and Mayorkas and Blinken must be arrested and when they are convicted they must be sentenced to lengthy prison sentences and then after their prison terms are served, they must have their citizenship revoked and they must be legally and forcibly deported to walled and fenced concentration compounds in a hot and fetid part of sub-Saharan Africa.

    Biden and Harris and Garland and Blinken and Mayorkas all push mass legal immigration and mass illegal immigration and REFUGEE OVERLOAD and ASYLUM SEEKER INUNDATION.

    Mass legal immigration, mass illegal immigration, REFUGEE OVERLOAD and ASYLUM SEEKER INUNDATION increases housing costs, lowers wages, swamps schools, overwhelms hospitals, destroys habitat for wildlife, causes urban and suburban sprawl, creates multicultural mayhem and brings infectious diseases and terrorism to the United States of America.

  14. Alejandro Mayorkas is a JEW Baby Boomer foreigner who wants to continue to use mass immigration as a demographic weapon to attack and destroy the European Christian ancestral core of the USA.

    Alejandro Mayorkas was a leading member of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society Organized Crime Syndicate

    The money-grubbing, nation-killing Jew scumbags at the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society Organized Crime Syndicate have been clam raking and stealing loot through criminal use of the REFUGEE OVERLOAD racket that was ramped up by Joe Biden, Teddy Kennedy and Jimmy Carter in 1980. Evil Jew nation-wreckers have been using open borders mass immigration to violently and viciously demographically attack the White Core American nation.

    The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society(HIAS) Must Be Shut Down Immediately

    All REFUGEE OVERLOAD Scam Outfits Must Be Shut Down Immediately

    Immigration Moratorium Now!

    Deport All Illegal Alien Invaders Now!

    Stop All REFUGEE OVERLOAD Now!

    Stop All ASYLUM SEEKER INUNDATION Now!

    So we have government censorship. As I said, they have to be doing it for someone. Who? The “Corporations”.

    The following is a video of Matt Kennard, investigative journalist, co-author of the book “Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy”. He charts how corporate greed is undermining democracy and sovereignty across the globe.

    I’ve watched several Matt Kennard videos on this topic, but I can’t remember which one was best, and I don’t have time to check. This one will no doubt suffice. Please give it a watch.

    Corporations have seized control and governments are taking their orders from them.
