WASHINGTON – Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene unveiled articles of impeachment against President Biden on Thursday over his handling – or lack thereof – of the crisis at the southern border.
“It is with the highest amount of solemn Monday that I announced my intention to introduce Articles of Impeachment today on the head of this ‘America-last’ executive branch that has been working since Jan. 20, 2021, to systematically destroy this country,” Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told reporters at the Capitol.
The firebrand congresswoman added the articles she introduced against Biden represent just the “first round” of purported offenses, and said she hopes House Republicans can find additional charges to bring against the president.
She did not describe what allegations against Biden the House could or should take up next.
“Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border, allowed approximately six million illegals from over 170 countries to invade our country, deprived Border Patrol [from] having the necessary resources and policies sufficient to protect our country,” Taylor Greene said.
“His administration has willfully refused to maintain operational control as required by the law.”

Taylor Greene also accused Biden of “allow[ing] fentanyl – the No. 1 killer of Americans between the age of 18 and 45 – to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill around 300 Americans every single day.”
US officials – including Secretary of State Antony Blinken – have said fentanyl is coming into the country from Mexico after it has been processed with Chinese ingredients.
The articles were introduced one week after the expiration of Title 42, the pandemic-era policy that allowed Customs and Border Protection agents to immediately expel migrants seeking asylum from the US.
Agents in Brownsville, Texas, last week told The Post that before the policy expired, roughly 40% of migrants were sent back over the southern border.

Now, they are largely released into the public with notifications to appear for court dates set for years from now.
Greene’s Thursday announcement rounds out what she called her “impeachment week.”
On Tuesday, she introduced articles of impeachment against FBI Director Christopher Wray and DC-based US Attorney Matthew Graves for their pursuits of Jan. 6, 2021 protesters.
A day later, she went after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for dereliction of duty, which she described as “his willful admittance of border crossers, terrorists, human traffickers, drugs, and other contraband.”
“Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas has failed to maintain operational control of the border, thereby violating the Secure Fence Act of 2006,” she wrote.
Also on Wednesday, Taylor Greene filed articles of impeachment against Attorney General Merrick Garland “for facilitating the weaponization and politicization of the United States justice system against the American people.”
Namely, the lawmaker cited the “persecution” of the twice-impeached former President Donald Trump, 76, who is under an FBI investigation for mishandling more than 150 classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Fla.
“Attorney General Garland,” the document said, “has failed to uphold his oath and has instead overseen a denigration of the principles of our democratic republic by politicizing the Department of Justice and utilizing the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a federal police force to punish or intimidate anyone who questions or opposes the current regime.”
