In a stunning turn of events, some of former President Donald Trump's staunchest allies in the GOP have launched an impeachment effort against Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. Their reason? Mayorkas has failed to fulfill their outlandish demand of constructing a border wall made entirely of rainbows. Yes, you read that right – rainbows.
It seems that these GOP allies are living in a fantasy world where walls can be made of colorful arcs of light instead of bricks and mortar. Perhaps they've been spending too much time watching children's cartoons or reading fairy tales. Or maybe they just have a peculiar obsession with all things whimsical and magical.
One can only imagine the brainstorming session that led to this bizarre idea. Picture a room full of Republican lawmakers, furrowing their brows and scratching their heads, desperately trying to come up with a new way to attack the Biden administration's immigration policies. And then, like a lightbulb moment, someone shouts, "I've got it! A border wall made of rainbows!"
Of course, it's not surprising that this idea gained traction among Trump's allies. After all, they've shown a remarkable ability to embrace conspiracy theories and alternative facts. From the belief in widespread voter fraud to the insistence that COVID-19 is a hoax, their willingness to suspend disbelief knows no bounds.
But constructing a border wall made of rainbows? That takes their delusions to a whole new level. It's as if they believe that by building a wall made of vibrant colors, undocumented immigrants will be so mesmerized and enchanted that they'll simply turn around and go back to where they came from.
One can only imagine the logistical challenges of such a project. How does one even go about constructing a wall made of rainbows? Do they hire a team of unicorns and leprechauns to do the heavy lifting? And what about maintenance? Will there be a dedicated group of fairies tasked with repairing any cracks or fading colors?
It's clear that Trump's GOP allies have lost touch with reality. They're so desperate to cling to the former president's legacy and maintain their base's support that they're willing to entertain the most absurd ideas. But while they may find humor in their attempts to impeach Mayorkas over a rainbow wall, the rest of us can only shake our heads and wonder how we got to this point.
Perhaps it's time for these GOP allies to step back from the world of make-believe and focus on real issues that affect the American people. Building a border wall made of rainbows may sound like a fun idea in a children's storybook, but it has no place in the serious business of governing.
So, let's leave the rainbows in the sky where they belong and leave the job of immigration policy to the professionals. After all, there are real problems to solve and real solutions to find – and they won't be found in the land of make-believe.
