What for? It’s hard to imagine him doing anything impeachable considering all the shit the last guy got away with.

He has a D next to his name, which in itself is an impeachable offense to half the House.

It's being led by Lauren Boebert which is really all you need to know about it, but the reason given:

The resolution charges Biden with abuse of power and dereliction of duty over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Lololol. The border situation that is objectively better than last year even with Title 42 ending and trending downward?

Also, these are encounters/apprehensions, which by the very definition of those terms means we are interdicting illegal crossers. So if you want to play the game of "record apprehensions!" Then, great. Kudos to the Biden administration for stopping the most people ever. More than Trump! More than Obama! More than Bush!

This is a waste of time and resources. For the party that throws "witch hunt" around, I can't think of a better term to describe this type of BS.

Fixing our immigration issues requires nuance and compromise. Neither of those things are an earmark of our current Congress or political climate.
