U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has urged for accountability in the impeachment trial of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In an op-ed published in The American Conservative, Senator Tuberville criticized Secretary Mayorkas for neglecting his duties to secure the borders while focusing on international engagements.

Senator Tuberville emphasized the importance of conducting a fair trial in the Senate, stating, "Now is the time for every Senator to go on the record." He questioned Mayorkas' performance at the border and raised concerns about national security, asking, "Has Mayorkas fulfilled the oath he swore before this body to protect and defend our country against all threats, foreign and domestic? Is our border secure?"

Citing Mayorkas' international travels, Senator Tuberville highlighted the Secretary's visits to countries like Austria and Germany, where he discussed global security issues while the U.S. borders remained vulnerable. Tuberville expressed doubt that Mayorkas addressed the influx of Chinese illegal immigrants or the overall national security crisis during his meetings abroad.

The Senator criticized the administration's handling of the border situation, stating, "President Biden has made the U.S. a joke on the world stage. Under this administration, nearly 10 million people have illegally invaded our country. Every state is now a border state."

Senator Tommy Tuberville's call for accountability and a thorough Senate trial regarding Secretary Mayorkas' performance at the Department of Homeland Security reflects growing concerns about border security and national sovereignty. The public and Senate are now awaiting further developments in this impeachment process.
