Chuck Schumer is scheming for a way to keep Democrats clinging to power in 2024.
But Schumer got some devastating news.
And that’s because John Kennedy hit Chuck Schumer with the worst surprise of his life.
The latest Gallup poll showed immigration surging to the number-one issue for voters in America.
Gallup found immigration jumped from 20 percent of Americans saying it was the most pressing problem to 28 percent in just one month.
Americans are reacting to videos like the one of a mob of military-age male illegal aliens overrunning members of the Texas National Guard to bum-rush the border.
“It’s not an invasion.”
Then what do you call this scene in Texas as illegal aliens storm across the border in front of the National Guard?

Republicans in the House of Representatives passed two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for transporting illegal aliens into America and for lying to Congress when he claimed the border was secure.
When the House transports articles of impeachment to the Senate all other business shuts down as the Senate holds the trial.
The last thing Schumer wants is an extended impeachment trial of Mayorkas – even if it results in an acquittal – because that would mean constant media attention on Democrats carrying water for Joe Biden’s failure to secure the border.
Schumer thought he had a procedural trick up his sleeve to avoid that field of political landmines by holding a motion to table the articles of impeachment.
John Kennedy and 40 other Republican senators put on a united front explaining why Mayorkas must face accountability.
“Encounters in fiscal year 2023 increased a startling 440% over fiscal year 2020. The border crisis under Secretary Mayorkas has become a nightmare for the American people,” a letter signed by Kennedy and his GOP colleagues read.
“The House of Representatives has considered this evidence and impeached Secretary Mayorkas. Our constitutional duty requires the Senate to hold a trial. In every previous congressional impeachment of the past 227 years, Congress has been faithful to the process set out by the framers . . . Never before has the Senate abandoned this duty, even when certain members believed the basis for impeachment was tenuous at best,” the letter continued.
“In the face of the disaster that mounts daily at our southern border, and in communities across America, the House of Representatives has formally accused Alejandro Mayorkas of demeaning his office. The American people deserve to hear the evidence through a Senate trial in the Court of Impeachment,” the letter added.
If Republicans stay united and red-state senators like Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Jon Tester (D-MT) who are feeling the heat back home buckle, the trial of Mayorkas will commence and Democrats will face time under the microscope on the border crisis.
