The grounds for impeaching Mayorkas are overwhelming.
Mayorkas is actively nullifying and undermining those laws.
As a Senate-confirmed officer of the government, Mayorkas has a duty to follow the law faithfully; he should refuse to carry out directives that are inconsistent with the law, or else resign from office.
Mayorkas clearly has crossed the line of permissible discretion into flagrant nullification and violation of the law.
Some have raised the specter that if Mayorkas is impeached, it may become more common for the House to attempt to impeach Cabinet secretaries.
Mayorkas' gross misconduct and violations of the law are so extraordinarily extreme and intolerable that an impeachment in this case should not create a precedent that would become the norm going forward.
If Mayorkas is allowed to get away with the abuses and course of misconduct he has been guilty of, then it could be said that the House's power to impeach civil officers itself would become a nullity.
