Republicans should not overpromise on border security, writes ConnCarroll. Only the president can secure the border.
“Let me be clear: Those responsible for this disaster will be held accountable,” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said at a press conference in El Paso on Tuesday. “If Secretary Mayorkas does not resign, House Republicans will investigate every order, every action, and every failure to determine whether we can begin impeachment inquiries.”This is all fine. Republicans should investigate every action Mayorkas has taken on the border.
Accountability is great. Ending one-party rule is also important. But Republicans can’t close Biden’s open border as long as Biden is in the White House. Again, holding Mayorkas accountable is great. But there is only so much Republicans can do to force Biden to perform what is at the end of the day an executive function: enforcing immigration law.
