As I now live in Manorville (2nd Congressional District), Andrew Garbarino is my U.S. representative. Today, I wrote to him and expressed my displeasure with his shameful and cowardly vote to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. There are no impeachable offenses.
Congressman Garbarino promises to deliver “real results” for Long Island. I told him that real results would be signing into law an immigration bill that also would improve things at the border.
The Senate crafted a strong immigration bill with Republican backing. Then, Donald Trump said that he wants to run on the immigration issue — he doesn’t want any improvements at the border, as it would be good for President Joe Biden. The Republicans caved.
Also, I told Congessman Garbarino that the bogus impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas doesn’t do anything for the citizens of Long Island.
The residents in the Town of Southampton and elsewhere on the East End (1st Congressional District) may want to contact their congressman, Nicholas LaLota — he also voted for the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas.
These Republicans should be ashamed of themselves. However, shame has become a quaint notion in today’s Republican Party.
At the next election, I certainly won’t forget their shameful impeachment votes and their cowardice in walking away from a strong immigration bill just to please their master, Trump.
