They certainly alluded to it by telling Congress they had other tools at their disposal to deal with someone in the Executive Branch who refuses to enforce the law.
Baloney allegations. If he is both deporting some people and allowing others to apply for asylum per US law and treaty obligations, how is that any violation. The “public trust” was electing officials who passed the laws and ratified the treaties. Why do none of the complainers about Mayorkas or Biden even mention the Refugee Act or the relevant treaties. The President is required by law to consider asylum claims and prohibited by treaty from returning refugees to danger. Why does the law and order crowd not address the laws?
Appologies, you are correct. I was under the understanding that US Embassies count as us soil for asylum.You Cannot Apply for Asylum at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate
Asylum is a form of legal protection available to certain people who cannot or would not feel safe if they tried to live in their home country, because of past persecution or the danger of future persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
Unfortunately, U.S. embassies and consulates cannot process requests for this form of protection. That's because, under U.S. law, asylum seekers can apply only if they are physically present in the United States (or at least at a U.S. border or other point of entry).

Although a U.S. embassy or consulate cannot process applications for asylum or refugee status, they may be able to offer other forms of protection.www.nolo.com
@Bullseye
they do not....I am certain that lots of people wish they did...but they do not...I am certain though that the embassies do not wish that...they are already overworked and packed to the gills.
They are just as legitimate as the Articles of Impeachment against Trump. Even more so, the Articles of Impeachment against Mayorkas actually involve crimes.
nah, because the Senate actually said it was unconstitutional to impeach him.
If there is anything we have learned in the last few years guilt or innocence is irrelevant. The left is standing on the scales of justice, currently. When the tables are turned the just won't have to make things up.
The left is doing no such thing....this is a real criminal trial, normal citizens are sitting on the jury...both sides had opportunity to disqualify jurors...
Really now…why should they regret spelling it out to the House that immigration law and passing such laws is the responsibility of Congress and cannot ask a guy to violate those laws
The Senate via vote dismissed the charges, because it was unconstitutional and lacked a high crime
Is he still the head of DHS?
He is and charges were dismissed because the impeachment was unconstitutional which essentially means the impeachment vote in the House was invalidated by the Senate
You're dreaming.
No, the House was asked to define what the high crime and misdemeanor or bribery were and they essentially told him not required and since it specifically defines those as the reason to impeach and they failed, it’s unconstitutional.
You've just forfeited to right to criticize republican dirty tricks.
How is it a dirty trick? At this point the law says clearly that there are no numerical limits on how many can apply for asylum. Biden wanted to change that…you guys blocked that
What dirty tricks? The GOP had no case.
It is relevant and Trump is guilty.
Show your work.
I am grateful that that POS didn't end up on the Supreme Court.
