If you want to impeach people for not doing anything about the border, start with Mike Johnson and Steve Scalise.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) announced Tuesday that he would vote against a resolution to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, becoming the second Republican to buck the party and putting GOP plans in jeopardy.
“Clearly the founders worried that the power of impeachment could be used to settle political disputes and so searched for limiting language to avoid such abuse,” McClintock wrote, writing his colleagues had failed to demonstrate any high crime or misdemeanor.
absent due to treatment for blood cancer, that number dwindles to just two if all other members are present, leaving no more room for GOP defections.
The articles of impeachment accuse Mayorkas of violating immigration laws, mainly by failing to detain a sufficient number of migrants, as well as “breach of public trust” – a novel approach that has garnered criticism.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) has already said he plans to vote against the Mayorkas resolution, similarly arguing his colleagues failed to meet the standards laid out in the constitution.
McClintock echoed earlier Republican arguments in saying President Biden was ultimately to blame for the chaos at the border.
