THE ROOM IS EMPTY. Why are we electing these people and paying them a salary when they don't even show up for the meetings. If I didn't show up for work I'd be fired
No kidding where are our paid representatives.
They should put "Examine conspiracies against Donald Trump" on the agenda to get the democrats on the committee to show up. Then see if they'll stick around for the real hearing.
Yes
It's a committee hearing. If you are not on the committee, are not a witness, nor a member of the committee staff, you don't have to be there.
because they have several hearings and meetings at the same time
They already committed a crime by crossing into the country illegally , so the answer is yes.
8 U.S. Code § 1158 - Asylum
(a)Authority to apply for asylum
(1)In general
Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.
@@scottfarner5100 Asylum from what? Mexico or Canada at war? Those asylum laws also state that the person has to stay in the first safe country they come to, and not cross through a half dozen countries or come from another continent shopping for the best deal. Naturally though, leftists like yourself love to cherry pick the part of the law you like and ignore the parts you don't.
@@scottfarner5100so few are actually in NEED of Asylum 🤣🙄 non vetted are the majority coming in and getting Visas, money, Drivers License, etc….98% are NON asylum seekers and male fighting age paid criminals but sure keep your nonsense of Asylum your only response
My man listed asylum law like the 10’s of thousand single males aged 20-30 from China are coming due to Asylum, I’m sure the gang members and released prisoners are applying as well
@@scottfarner5100 These 8-10 million illegals do not qualify for asylum but since you're defending it, how many have you invited into your home?
Here is the future. 5 months ago I worked security at the Home Depot in Austin TX ( 71 & 35). The same 50 migrants would show up in the parking lot at 6 am. 22 at the entrance. 14 at the exit. 4 pairs spread out. 6 or more located near the front of the store. Every 10-15 minutes 2 would go in the store and shoplift. The employees were told to let them just walk out. I was intimidated and not able to control 50 men. The police on site did nothing. The migrants are not good people. They do not care about America.
Trump told us, “they are not sending their best.” The left lost their minds.
As a security gaurd you should have stopped them cause if thefts continue you'll lose your job anyway and you won't lose your life. Don't worry
My governor, Massachusetts Healey asked citizens to house illegal immigrants and i say lead by example and she hasn't brought any illegal immigrants into her home 🙄
Too many infectious diseases. Drug addicts. Mental health issue. No thanks. 🚩🚩🚩
I don't think there are any living in the Whitehouse, either. You could house a lot of illegals in the Whitehouse.
The attendance of lawmakers at the hearing tells you all you need to know about how serious they consider the issue.
and how complaint they are
It is a non issue, because the ruling class WANTS cheap illegal labor.
Sorry just posted the same thing. They don’t give a s _ _ t.
I noticed it too, before seeing this post. Disgusting 🤢
Same as the UK exactly the same topic and the House of Commons was empty.
Apparently ninety+ per-cent of "our paid elected representatives" thought this was not important enough to even attend. The nonchalant guy at the end even seems to think the whole topic was almost humorous. What a clown-show.

Where are the people on this panel? I’m tired of paying people for not doing their jobs.

Title 42 suspended title 8 laws and authority used to deter and penalize illegal border crossing. The Right was using it to undermine legal asylum under 8 US code 1158. It also suspended 8 US code 1325; the misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty for crossing the border illegally. And 8 US code 1326; stiffer penalties for crossing the border after deportation That left out any legal penalty or deterrent for those crossing and stopped legal asylum, with few exceptions under title 42. Makes it difficult to enforce immigration laws when Republicans are fighting in court to undermine our legal enforcement. With title 42 suspending enforcement many immigrants re-crossed multiple times causing apprehension numbers to be inflated. The current rate of multiple returns was about 40% of border crossers.
Of course he doesn’t, but they want everyone else to let them in!!
NIMBY
This increase in crime across the country is unacceptable
and Biden is still flying them in

We had a 11 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years prior to Trump and his polices. By 2019 Trumps policies doubled the number of people crossing the southern border to 977,000. He only saw a reduction for the first 9 months of 2020 due to covid, before it went back to a 20 year monthly high in October of 2020. It has remained a 20 year high and increasing ever since under Trumps failed policies and Title 42.

@@scottfarner5100 How can this rapid increase and record high influx since 2020 all be entirely the fault of Trump, seeing as how Biden has been POTUS since January 2021? Just how much influence are you inferring that Trump has had over U.S. domestic policy for the past three and a half years since leaving the office, and the powers, of the POTUS behind? Are you implying that the Biden administration is somehow helpless to stop it?
If Biden is so helpless that he is incapable of undoing everything Trump did in the previous four years, why is he still POTUS, in that case? Are you suggesting Trump has somehow been making all this unfold as it has since January 2021, without any of the powers given to a sitting POTUS? How is he allowed to maintain those powers without office, if that is your suggestion?
And, between campaigning for the 2024 general election and sitting in multiple courtrooms over that past couple of years, when has he actually had time to manipulate the White House and Congress with this implied arcane and mysterious power of nefarious influence over the Biden administration? Does Trump have some sort of weird mojo that prevents Biden from stemming the massive influx that began the day he was sworn in back in January 2021? Are we in danger? Can Trump control all of us with this mojo?

How can this rapid increase and record high influx since 2020 all be entirely the fault of Trump, seeing as how Biden has been POTUS since January 2021?
By suspending our legal enforcement under title 8 authority and misusing title 42 to undermine current laws.
Just how much influence are you inferring that Trump has had over U.S. domestic policy for the past three and a half years since leaving the office, and the powers, of the POTUS behind?
From the GOP continuing Trumps policy of undermining our existing laws to stop legal asylum. And fighting in court to keep title 42 in place, by not providing funding need to process the increased numbers at the border under laws passed by congress, and not supporting the bipartisan immigration reform from the Senate that would fix this problem.
Are you implying that the Biden administration is somehow helpless to stop it? If Biden is so helpless that he is incapable of undoing everything Trump did in the previous four years, why is he still POTUS, in that case?
Because Trump had to ignore laws passed by congress and ignore our constitutional separation of powers to fail and cause this issue under Biden who is following federal law. We had a 11 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years prior to Trump and his polices. By 2019 Trumps policies doubled the number of people crossing the southern border to 977,000. He only saw a reduction for the first 9 months of 2020 due to covid, before it went back to a 20 year monthly high in October of 2020.

No I’m saying it’s been going on since 2018 and the GOP have been working through the v courts to keep those failed policies in place and you need to do some independent research instead of living in a media bubble.
And, between campaigning for the 2024 general election and sitting in multiple courtrooms over that past couple of years, when has he actually had time to manipulate the White House and Congress with this implied arcane and mysterious power of nefarious influence over the Biden administration?
By having power to keep republicans congress from passing a bipartisan bill that would have worked. By having his campaign and members of his last administration lie and manipulate the right wing base on what has been going on at the border for the last decade. Problem is not Trump it’’s his low informed base and his media lying for him.
Does Trump have some sort of weird mojo that prevents Biden from stemming the massive influx that began the day he was sworn in back in January 2021? Are we in danger?
When Biden took office in January of 2021, border crossing had been at record levels every month for 5 months prior to Biden taking office under Trumps failed policies and continued as remain in Mexico and title 42 stayed in place until this year.
Can Trump control all of us with this mojo? Inquiring minds want to know!

they are quick to point out that crime is dropping - but most people don’t realize they are not prosecuting a ton of cases- so it’s like they never happened - so they can announce- “crime is dropping” when it’s actually much worse - but when the judges and DA’s refuse to prosecute - there is no record of the crime- i’m disgusted with all this BS from both sides- just close the GD border - problem solved
