Why do we go through this crap every hearing!!!! No one is ever held accountable for the actions they commit 🤬
Exactly. It’s a waste of taxpayer money.
You’re right but if it was you are in the military or a government job and had to come forward with this would be prosecuted to the fullest. Our President Donald John Trump, had signed a contract with Mexico for the United States and Mexico to finish the wall the supplies were there bought and paid for everything that they need it was there it was a signed deal contract I’m still trying to figure out why has an Arizona California wherever these hoes are at turning around and suing sleepy Joe a contract was broken you cannot break a contract specially when the money has already been spent for supplies and to pay both sides of doing the wall he stopped that you go way back when he first came on he stopped it and that’s when he wanted everybody from all over the world to come visit. In the first was 3 to 5000 people off a bus they ran through the border the border had no idea what was going on and when told sleepy Joe looked at the other person with a shit ass grin oh they were supposed to do that until tomorrow when you got signed in
Right now , the biggest platform the real conservative Republicans can run on is to strip immunity from every public servant ,
As equally as they stripped immunity from the police , then strip immunity from every politician in public service , , hold the politicians accountable for creating problems , for not taking care of problems , for making ignoramus decisions knowing full well alternative actions could have been more applicable , and/or etc ,
@@gregjames2684 If that was the case 4 years ago Trump's administration wouldn't have made it through their first year. lmao
We have to hold them accountable by voting for better leaders........ better people for Congress, president, governors, state legislators, city council members, mayors, etc. It is ultimately our fault.
That man is in charge of homeland security? I’m not sure that he, nor his boss, should be trusted to be greeters at Walmart.
We have a word here in BRITAIN it goes like this. WEASEL .
Me. Mayorkas, do you intentionally leave your home’s front door wide open before you go to sleep? Exactly, why don’t you see the border like your house’s main door?
Can't answer what he doesn't know, how in the hell did he get his job. What is his Qualifications To have any job!!!!
A TRUE CERTIFIED SWAMP REPTILE-----CANNOT LIE ANYMORE
N who fact checks his moves or doings as he says?
That could be said about the majority of our government. Just listen to them talk.... They never answer a question. They use everything they have to dance around each question asked. 4 more years of day after day embarassment. Hopefully after this debacle the american people will vote for someone who doesn't have 1 foot in the automatic doors of a nursing home.
Political donations most likely
He got the job because he’s a non white liberal with ties to the Obama swamp years 🤦🏻🤷🏻♂️😂😂💩💣👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Lies after lies after lies!!! Everyone needs to be held accountable! Consequences need to happen and followed with actiin! for the continuous lies!!
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN MYORKIS IS LYING? EASY. WHEN HE'S TALKING!!!!!!!
He starts twitching
@@jeepinfriend4958 Watch his lips,if they move!
Damn that about sums it up with this lil Nut Job of a Weasel.💯👍
When he's stalling!!!
Well we won’t. But his answers and responses are recorded and are part of permanent records.
OMG!! That man!!! He said he prosecuted many cases before but he shows up with no information!!! He doesn't want to answer them period!! Needs to be kicked out of his position and hopefully he would land on the part that describes him best and gets the most use 🐎🍑! Yep, a horses a$$!!
If he can’t do his job..FIRE HIM
Fire that stupid incompetent myorka
Please & Thanks!
The Democrats did not hesitate to impeach Trump (twice!). I don't know what the Republicans are waiting for. But, we are in a no win situation. Kamala-la-la is certainly not Presidential material. And, God forbid Pelosi has to step in. What a mess. I have never felt so hopeless. Just Pray !! That is about all we can do. Take care my fellow Patriot.
That should be the whole damn Biden administration!
He is doing his job. His job is to turn the USA into a garbage latin american socialist country.
I find it HILARIOUS that they put the abreviation for Honourable(Hon.) in their titles. We all know just by watching and listening to them,that honourable isn't even in their vocabulary, nor is it a title they have earned, or even proven themselves to be.
Mayorkas doesn't seem to know what the hell his department is doing. Either that, or he doesn't want to say it out loud.
He doesn't want to say anything aloud
"The agreements with Guatemala and HONDURAS (that TRUMP put in place) are not SAFE!" Says this BIDEN LAWYER, without investigating this claim further. But allowing thousands of PARENTLESS CHILDREN to cross the USA border is??
HE IS NOT CAPABLE OF TRUTH----WRONG PERSON IN THAT POSITION
That whole administration needs to be impeached done away with otherwise we ain't got a chance that's the biggest bunch of homosexuals I've ever seen in my life
Mallorca takes way too much estrogen
Never argue with an idiot, they will only drag you down to their level and overwhelm you with experience.
Listening to him makes us all see how unsafe this situation is.Perfect example of a person not telling the truth and avoiding give
I have never felt les safe in the best country in the world.
The bald dude scares the livin shit out of me! I would never leave my grandkids near him or Chibiden!
I'm getting tired of having smoke blown up my a$$.
@@kennethjacobs2151 lmao!
I get it!! Fricken tired of to. And these deplorables called caring DemonRats! Want to help, yah sure they do.
Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas = Elmer Fudd
God bless James Lankford! ❤️🇺🇸❤️
There are no less than 10 US Embassies and Consulates in Mexico that are 100% equipped to take the claims of these individuals that are getting these notice to appear. These people have every opportunity to file a claim at any of these offices yet they choose to by pass the system and illegally cross the border.
Exactly !
because they are all bad .
like aoc, squad ... mayorkas and his family, I propose , are from cuba, Castro cuba , so I propose for consideration = They are those who are here to " destroy America from the inside " after receiving so many gifts from America and Americans !
They know this. They know we know this. They just know the media will protect them.
Them need to refresh the child traffic numbers and import. New voters.
That’s ALL ITS ABOUT.
@@tommas2674 for real Mayorkas is not a Cuban surname bro.
This guy never gives a straight answer he always talks in circles this is what you do when you're lying or hiding something
Did he really come to this meeting that unprepared? He doesn't seem to know anything!! Maybe we should've stuck to soft questions like "what kind of pudding did you have for dinner?" Great job Sen. James Lankford!!
He doesn't need to know anything. His job isn't in jeopardy.
Preparing for these questions would remove his ability to claim not to know. Then he'd actually have to answer inconvenient questions.
It sounds like we need to revoke this Mayorkas guy's paycheck.
Just fucken amazing that they always "will get back to you" with statistics that make them look bad.
Mayorkas is like a piece of wet cardboard. But not as sturdy. This country is in so much trouble.
I agreed with you but one word you mean a peace of shit not cardboard
This is why he is call Masorca means dry corn cub. Massorca
Didn't Trump say the government is stupid, or something like that. This jerk keeps reminding me of that.
If the sheeple don't wake soon, it will be. You can tell them by their constant chatter of what was on TV. Little rats dancing to the tune of the Pipers. They make a million dollars a month telling you their side of reality.
@@josephbezzi7911 You beat me to it..:)
They never know any of the important numbers. People like this would not keep a job for more than a few weeks in the private sector.
Why do we do these hearings? Nothing comes of them.
This is such a waste of the fake money being made! Oh that's for us. Which will be taxed to death for the IOU
it gives them an opportunity to answer truthfully, Now when they lie, there will be consequences. It may not come today or 5 days from now, but they will have to answer for it.
@@sandyjackson4194 it won't matter if there's an administration that won't do anything.
JUST ANOTHER EPISODE OF...AS THE WORLD TURNS. 🤦♂️
@@brucemiller1696 yep days of our Puke up!
"You need a committee to figure out how to hang the steel that's sitting right there"?
That dude just does not seem to know anything about what is going on at the border.
Oh he knows exactly what is happening, he just doesn’t care.
Not only does he know exactly what is going on, but he WANTS it that way. This is not by accident or incompetence. It is their full intention to do exactly what they have done. Democrats are literally TRYING to destroy the country as fast as possible before they can be removed from power.
You got that right !! He certainly does not exude any sort of confidence in what he is doing. I look for him to be resigning soon. He CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH !!!
He knows but is lying.
I think he knows LESS than nothing in relationship to knowledge & intelligence. I DO believe he knows what his marching orders are & has some knowledge of the "Biden" (aka his handlers') agenda.
Like in a movie I watched “we are all dumber now for having to hear that” Mayorkas makes me feel like that as well the rest of the people in this administration.
I am surprised that he hasn't said he will circle back🤪
BUT HE WANTS TO-----JUST A WEAK MAN
Lol exactly
Here, Let’s All Say It!!!! LET ME CIRCLE BACK TO YOU!!!!
He will follow up same as circle back.
That phrase has been stricken from the administration's manual....
You can see why they are in a mess.
He needs to bring a hell of a lot of answers with him soon.
Shame on anyone who voted for these people 🤯
They were inserted.
I agree ! I know a lot of people have "buyer's remorse" over wasting a vote on Biden. What makes it even worse is that President Trump had us pointed in the right direction. I hope the AZ audit is able to reveal all the manipulation that happened in the 2020 election. We want our DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT back in the oval. !!
@owo グーチmoshi Are you serious??? I was afraid something like that would happen. They DO NOT want us to get to the TRUTH !! Meanwhile......Biden is ruining our country. Give us our "Duly elected President" back !!!
Thanks for the update my fellow patriot. Take care.
This is the deepstate, unelected bureaucrats who carry out the globalist agenda. Biden was given a list of appointments to make... this is what you get, an activist lawyer used to spinning words deceitfully...
@@patriotgame4564 LOL. definitely better than the POSs trump appointed.
When you go to school and the teacher ask if you did your homework....
Listening to mayorkas answering questions is like, listening to psaki answering press questions 🙄
❅༻❣༺❅
Amen, I say they are The Voices and Faces of Evil.
although he never quite says "circle back at you!" lol
Exactly honest answers to questions. Republicans only know lying especially Trump 37,000 lies while in Office, and KayLieMakeUpAny on the Bully pulpit spent all her time Lying. I very much agree with you….
Yes, these creeps have coaches that train them to respond with "thank you senator, I am pleased to attempt to answer your question with the most meaningless answer".
Exactly... "Wa wa wa wa" .."BS bs bs"..
Under review, address, and studying.....from the politics 101 course, "How to respond to direct questions without divulging anything (while CYOA)"
I’ll have to get back to you on that!...There’s going to be a review!.. I agree. As soon as I can spin these numbers I’ll let you know 🤔
We are currently reviewing a plan to lift a gate and put it on it's hinges. But it could take years.
An idiot knows that you just finish the damn gate! Not rocket science!
We are talking about liberals here. Only thing that they give a shit about is votes and power! So talking to people like the tool in this video is like talking to a wall.
If I were that incompetent at my job, I'd find myself unemployed within a week...
They are stalling to get as many in as possible before they are forced to do it.
Stop his paycheck until the gate is closed.
These are our leaders. We should all be totally disgusted. It's ridiculous that this is gone on for more than one day! I wish I knew what to do about it because these people sure don't represent me!
Lucifer’s children.
Vote Republican - across the board. Democrats appointed and confirmed people like Mayorkas. Take back our government from the left and fire these do nothings.
So so true.
We have the same sickening problem in my country South Africa. No accountability for these liars.
We have elected officials the country pay that are not doing what they are being pay for. These need to be fired 🤫
We all need to stop paying them!
They behave as they were not elected and not responsible to we the people. Just because their No1 was not elected.
No, they should be prosecuted.
I agree. Why is there a gap? I thought Trump built a wall thousands of miles long and had Mexico pay for it.
Biden was not voted in.
AHHH! Its all making sence now; When Mayorkas starts speaking his hands reveal his true puppetier profession.
Build the wal!
Finish the wall!
Thank you Mr. Lankford for speaking for us in Oklahoma.
It must be very confusing for people that get sent back because their check's can't be made, watching people cross the boarder with NO CHECKS, they are going to go 100 yards down the road and come back laughing ...... is this a fxxxxing joke ?
AMERICA IS A JOKE---TOO LATE NOW----RIGHT NANCY PELOSI
The ONLY CHECK they will get is a stimulus check. 😠
I would say to him: Mr Mayorcas if you do not give me a straight answer I will lose my Sh!t.
"Senator, I appreciate the opportunity to make you lose your shit"...
I'm positive we got orange jumpsuit in Mayorkas size, please get him one....
I can have the inmate custom make one just for him. We can put with all illegal crimal inmates we have.
WOW!!!, HE CAN DANCE AROUND ALL THESE QUESTIONS LIKE DIRTY DANCING JOHN T.!!!.
The Wall is like Field of Dreams...if you (don't) build it, they will come.
Bob, an Independent
No Marbles.
Like their going to comeback and say here I am. Our country is in so much trouble. Barnum & Bailey run a better circus than these people. It would be a disgrace to clowns to call them clowns
Why are we allowing people that don't adhere to our rules from a third world country to come to this country they are making it worse than it is right now because the current Administration
Because the us runs on biomass. There is a book from 1992 called snow crash. Very good read or listen.
Because they're ALL future Demorat voters...the one and ONLY reason!
AMERICA IS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY $28 000 000 000 000 .00 WORTH
The sad thing is that if you look at third world countries all around the world you will see that many of them are blessed with abundant natural resources and amazing beauty, and the only reason life is so difficult in those places is runaway government corruption, lawlessness and crime, yet our corrupt politicians want to ignore our laws to let them come here and form a permanent underclass where many of them will be victimized by the same sort of criminals that preyed on them back home.
I think the Senator did a good job. He
wasn't confrontational or political-he didn't use his time to make a speech. I would have liked more information from the homeland security guy, and it seemed like if this hearing was held a week from now (hypothetical), he may have been in a better position to respond. As the answers all hinged on upcoming meetings. I assume we'll be updated
Good lord, it's like Joe Biden's diction.
This entire Administration is on drugs. They will do nothing to stop the flow of drugs and sex traffickers. The US is the BIGGEST CUSTOMER.
KEEP STUDYING....F O O L S
I keep saying this administration is using the best laughing gas bc none of them know shit.
Mayorkas reminds me of the best comedy skits of Tim Conway of Carol Burnett show.....I crack up just watching him. Fubbling alon
WOW. He's the same as circle back Saki.
Never would have believed this a year ago...He has no business being in this position...
Mayorkas is up there making the big bucks in the clown parade. Imagine that?!
How do they talk so much and say so little?
IT IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SWAMP
As Mr. Scott says, the more you complicate the plumbing the easier to stop up the drain. (Star Trek)
How about an administrator that does the job
TOO LATE-IT WILL JUST KEEP GOING-----WE ARE CAPTIVES
"Uh, uh, we're about to engage a group to pre-study the study of the thing." What a waste of a human being.
Build back better and they can't even hang a gate when the gate is right there oh my gosh 🤯😜🤪😳💥🤥😡
Watching from London England with interest the UK needs an honest USA
He is lying thru his teeth and everyone knows it.
Love how they use hands gestures like they just learned it from a class.
Oh yeah, let's have a review and do a feasabilty study. The steell is there to do it but let's hold it up.
Yeah we're reviewing it. He makes it sound like they're building a rocket ship. Here's an idea hire all of those pipeline workers that Joey boy screwed out of their jobs to finish it and let them split the money.
Why are none of these DBs not put under oath? They lie with impunity.
I really like Senator Lankford. 👍
Ya, he is decent. Sometimes - sometimes he seems to have a spine. He stops too short other times. However he is one of the better congressmen in the swamp.
@@theusynlige6965 I hear ya. I really like him but I still want term limits cause you never truly know with the DC swamp. The best of us can become corrupted given enough time and opportunity.
Senator Lankfird is a Traitor!!! I am in his district he voted to let illegals into our rural Oklahoma counties. He also voted to impeach Trump this go round. And he is trying to get re elected in 2022.
He is a true American Patriot! 🇺🇸
@@jeanetterichardson7450 he is a Traitor!!! Lankford is a RHINO. I will not ever vote for this man ever again!!! Not when he thinks placing illegals into our Rural communities with out letting his constituents know where the illegals are going to be placed or where they cane from. He sided with Omar on the illegals the last time
This gap is cutting into my ladder business!
How frickin long do they have to "study" it?
EXACTLY. That line they keep using "we're studying that" is nothing but PROLONGING the flow of their LONG LINE of FUTURE VOTERS!
"Review", means blank you, we are in no hurry, if ever.
This could be finished in a weekend
This makes total sense... if I have a few slices of bread and a toaster in front of me, and I want some toast, I conduct a review to determine the best way to proceed.
He never answers the question !!
I love to see theses senators STAY ON THEM! They can't keep dancing around these issues. Isn't it his JOB to know the ANSWERS to these questions? This is just ridiculous. They play us for fools.
The part that was edited out of this hearing:
Mayorkas: *_"Following the "Notice to Appear", the non-US "individuals" are then picked up by an UBER concierge, sent by the US to whichever address in whichever country the individual resides..."_*
He keeps saying, "It's the policy...", but do they ever follow the policy? He keeps repeating that the policy is this and never says, "yes we have done that".
Mayorkas never answers a question
He is the man who holds the gates open to the trojan horse.
If he doesn't know these answers, why is he in charge
Because the actual job he was picked for is not the position he was nominated to, but to sabotage the legal functioning of the department, and obscure any inconvenient facts. Just like the current Press Secretary isn't there to inform the public, but to deflect scrutiny and conveniently not be "aware" of any issues that are asked about.
We're having to pay security guards to make sure nobody calls to steal away you know steal it and haul it away
FINISH THE WALL!
As of may 15th 2021, 4.5 thousand thumbs up vs 91 thumbs down. Are these 91 downers a bot or a real person? Ya just gotta scratch your head at the stupidity of the 91 if they're a real human being.
Mayorkus must spend a fortune in shoes as much as he drags his feet
"Studying the most effective ways to address".... Put the damn gates up, finish the walls, ya potato. WTH, lmao how do these people even dress themselves, do they need to study the best way to address the issue of their nakedness each morning, or simply put their damn clothes on... This administration is a complete disgrace.
It is in the LAW. Finish it NOW!
It's already been paid for, what NEEDS to be reviewed? We already voted for this.
That's the Bold Lankford I like. Stay on that crook and remove him. He's a danger to society. Get him out!!!
Thank you Senator!
Sex offenders? Why is that even a question? Stakeholders? Why ask them? They may be the money holders, but they don’t live there. Their children and wives won’t be raped! Just Remove Them!!!
We need a review to know whether we should close the gap with the material laying on the ground where the gap is? LOL You can't make this stuff up!
So they're commissioning a review of the review completed a year ago?
I'm from the commercial construction world. It is way easy for the company to finish the whole in the border and protect United States.
And fun fact criminals don't care about issues of orders of appearance. Unless you're actively rounding them up and FORCING it.
Mayorkas didn't answer any of his questions with any degree of specificity. What a shame that this man is in this position. How hard is it to answer the question about closing the wall that's already been paid for?
WE NEED NEED RECALL BIDDEN
Pointing to another department works the best. NOT MY JOB!
If you will allow me Senator I will circle back with those answers
Where's hunter he needs his drugs tell daddy to get it from Ukraine or China or Mexico. Take the president jet out to pick them up its the best drug running machine and it's on the taxpayers dime it's a win win deal
Blah blah blah....Trump didn't talk. He just took care of things.
amen
Lets review and do a study whether we should fill in the hole in the wall! Unbelievable....DC is truly the land of broken toys
Stall tactics dragging there feet. We the people are tired our country being run by idiots.
It is time for action. We are no longer tolerating these anti American liars. They must be removed. And will be.
