BIG HATS, NO CATTLE
Republican "BIG HATS" now own the Border issue
"BIG HATS, NO CATTLE! is the continuing theme of House Republicans. The "BIG HATS" demand action at the Border and follow up by refusing to pass solutions. Now, they seek to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Majorkas for the unprecedented numbers of people surging over the Border.
Impeachment is a means of charging misconduct against a public office holder.
Traditionally, if a body of law is to vote for impeachment, specific charges (examples) of how the public officeholder has broken the law are necessary.
Majorkas hasn't broken any laws, nor is he charged with breaking laws. He has followed the current immigration laws, e.g., the number of staff funded to solve the problem, rules about the undocumented people who must be interviewed to see if they qualify for asylum, and the authorized funding Congress allows.
Majorkas and Homeland Security need changes in law, additional funding, etc., but the "BIG HATS" prefer blaming to action.
Senator James Lankford (R-Oklahoma) gallantly tried to change the law to fix the problem. He negotiated a bipartisan bill that brought solutions, i.e., changes in law, to address the issue. He did what the Republicans asked for.
But "BIG HAT" Republicans have turned on Lankford, clearly proving that "BIG HATS" prefer theater and playing political games. They do not want "cattle" that bring solutions.
In short, the "BIG HATS" can't or won't govern. They prefer following Donald Trump's advice- don't fix the law and don't work on solutions- because if the law cures the problems, Democrats might use the fix on border problems to claim credit for solving the challenges.
“BIG HAT” Republicans own the Border now! These "BIG HATS," with their refusal to solve problems, change Border laws, fund the Ukraine and Middle East wars, or do anything that attacks places where policy-making is necessary, make the U.S. look weak and more fragile by the day as they stand with Putin and other enemies of the U.S., all who attack without cause. They betray our country every day.
