Manveer Saini Conv 3

Summary

According to the assignment I choose a news event on the website All Slides. From the left section I choose "House votes to impeach Mayorkas, a historic rebuke of sitting Cabinet member by Republicans", From the Center section I choose "Republicans impeach Mayorkas in historic vote", From the Right section I choose "House votes to impeach DHS secretary Mayorkas over border crisis." The story of this event talks about Alejandro Mayorkas who is the secretary of Homeland Security in the United States who is currently being voted by the U.S. House for impeachment as Congressional Republicans are seeking to hold him accountable for Biden administration's handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. In other words, they are Helding him liable of failing to enforce immigration laws and not adequately managing the situation along the southern border, this week the committee advanced articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, making it the second impeachment of a Cabinet secretary in the U.S. history and the first in nearly 150 years. Some facts discussed in all three stories was that the U.S. House representatives voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with the Republican majority is determined to punish Biden administration over its handling of the U.S.-Mexico border after failing last week in a politically embarrassing setback. To add on, A Cabinet secretary has not impeached by the U.S. Congress since 1876 in other words it been around 150 years. Some facts that were only mentioned in this article "House votes to impeach DHS secretary Mayorkas over border crisis" was that "Tuesday's evening vote marked House Republicans second attempt at impeaching Mayorkas, GOP lawmakers targeted the Biden official over the ongoing migrant crisis at the U.S. border, accusing him of deliberately flaunting existing immigration law and worsening the situation. Also, some facts that were only mentioned in this article "House votes to impeach Mayorkas, a historic rebuke of sitting Cabinet member by Republicans", "Republicans impeach Mayorkas in historic vote" was that "in historic rebuke, the House impeached Mayorkas as 214-213". And some facts that were only mentioned in this article "House votes to impeach Mayorkas, a historic rebuke of sitting Cabinet member by Republicans" was that "the evening roll call proved tight, with speaker Mike Johnson's threadbare GOP majority unable to handle many defecators or absences in the face of staunch Democratic opposition to impeaching Mayorkas." To add on, some facts that were only mentioned in this article "Republicans impeach Mayorkas in historic vote" was that "the impeach of Alejandro Mayorkas is rallying GOP members after a first failed effort, Mayorkas is the first Cabinet official to be impeached since the 1870s, a vote made all the more remarkable by Republicans' inability to pass the same articles of impeachment last week, when three GOP members joined Democrats to tank the resolution, citing concerns their colleagues were abusing their impeachment power. The articles are not expected to move in the Democrat-led Senate." In the left section what I noticed about the language/word choice emphasized the event's historical significance. The phrase "politically embarrassing setback," "first Cabinet facing charges in nearly 150 years," emphasizes the seriousness and uniqueness of the situation. In other words, this reflects the hostile political atmosphere surrounding the U.S.-Mexico border dispute and the decision to impeach a Cabinet secretary. In the center section what I noticed about the language/word choice was that it also really reflected the historic nature of impeachment, political tension regarding Mayorkas's impeachment. The mention of the first failed effort underscores the dramatic context surrounding the subsequent successful vote. In the right section what I noticed about the language/word choice was that it, also reflects political tension. Additionally, the word choice suggests that we are focusing on the border problem, since the text directly relates the impeachment to the ongoing migrant crisis at the US-border. implies that we are focusing on the border crisis as the text directly links the impeachment to the ongoing migrant crisis at the U.S. border. I believe that personally the left and right section contain subjective language like in left section it stresses the Republican majority's resolve to punish the Biden administration for its management of the U.S.-Mexican border.
