Hey, it's where I would go...

Nah, this guy is low-hanging fruit.
He definitely doesn't do his job. He lies like a rug, even before Congress. And he'll be forgotten about in six weeks...In fact, I suspect if quietly given a deal, he'll resign.
It sends a message that the Border is important and the GOP is willing to do something about it.
Impeaching Biden? Probably bad political ju-ju.

Seems like it would be pretty tough to even get the House to impeach. Not sure what category the Secretary would fit under.
(But, i have to add that I have not followed him too closely so dont know much about him or if he is guilty of something.)
QUOTE
The US Constitution stipulates that the president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States can be impeached and removed from office on three charges:Bribery
Treason
Other high crimes and misdemeanors
Treason is defined in Article III, Section 3 of the Constituion as treason against the United States. The document reads, "treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."The Constitution does not define bribery, but it is thought that the use of the common law understanding of bribery guides the decision to impeach on bribery charges; that is, bribery "takes place when a person gives an official money or gifts to influence the official’s behavior in office. For example, if defendant Smith pays federal Judge Jones $10,000 to find Smith not guilty, the crime of bribery has occurred."[2]
The phrase high crimes and misdemeanors is also not defined in the Constitution. During the Constitutional Convention, Virginia delegate George Mason suggested adding maladministration to the charges of bribery and treason as impeachable offenses. When concerns were raised as to the vagueness of the term, Mason substituted high crimes and misdemeanors instead.[3]

I did not know that. I can see how it would abused, however.
"You're not doing your job. You're fired!"
As a side note, the DA in Philadelphia was impeached for exactly that.
