House Republicans are looking to ramp up the pressure on the Biden administration when they take control of the House of Representatives early next year.
, who are just weeks away from taking control of the House of Representatives, are already indicating that border security and illegal immigration will be among the issues top of their agenda when they take the gavel early next year.
That was highlighted this week when GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy led a delegation to the southern border -- and called on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas"He cannot and must not remain in that position," McCarthy said."If Secretary Mayorkas does not resign, House Republicans will investigate every order, every action and every failure to determine whether we can begin an impeachment inquiry.
McCarthy said he had spoken to Reps. Jim Jordan and James Comer, the ranking Republicans of the Judiciary and Oversight Committees, respectively, and said they have his complete support to investigate the"collapse" of the border. The U.S. has been hit by a nearly two-year long border crisis that saw more than 1.7 million migrant encounters in FY 2021 and over 2.3 million in FY 2022. October has indicated that that surge is likely to continue, as more than 230,000 hit the border in that month alone.
