Amidst the ever-increasing crisis on the southern border, former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin is calling for President Obama to be impeached.
Palin wrote in a an op-ed published Tuesday that, "(Obama's) unsecured border crisis is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, 'no mas.'"
She also states that she believes that Obama's ineffectiveness to stop the surge of Central American migrants is grounds for impeachment.
Although critics on the far right have voiced their dismay and even threatened impeachment, the event is unlikely to happen.
"President Obama's rewarding of lawlessness, including his own, is the foundational problem here," she wrote.
"It's time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment."
Palin's op-ed continues to hound Obama about migrant workers being "purposely" let into the country so that they can take American jobs.
When President Obama visited Texas without stopping at the border, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee publically criticized Obama's actions.
"While tens of thousands of illegal immigrants storm across the border, the President is jetting off to Texas - but not to see first-hand the mess his policies have created, but to attend high-dollar dinners with the 'swells' and extract as much money as he can from some people who got rich on the very oil he despises," Huckabee said.
Although Huckabee did not call for Obama's impeachment over the border security issue, he had predicted that Obama would lose his position over the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
House Speaker John Boehner was asked about Palin's comments along with other members of his party seeking impeachment for Obama.
Boehner simply replied, "I disagree."
Only two presidents have ever been brought up on impeachment charges, Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson. Both men were impeached by the House of Representatives, but were subsequently acquitted by the Senate.
