This guy is the king of semantics, word salad, verbal nonsense. I bet he has a black belt in the art of babble !!!!
He's that one manager everyone has had that knows NOTHING about the work he "oversees", has needlessly strong opinions about things he doesn't know, and schedules unnecessary meetings where he cracks corny jokes and pontificates at a captive audience.
His ancestors probably built the tower.
Fauci s bro.😂😂😂
@@tachiroakisu5128 VERY well put !!! I could not have described it any better. I think we can ALL relate to that analogy. Thank-you Tachiro !!
He's a lawyer. He's an example why Shakespeare said we should kill all the lawyers.
Everytime I hear this guy asked a question about his border policies and the way he answers them not only makes me sick but pisses me off
Everyone in this administration makes me sick and angry with their lies
From Biden, Psaki, Kacklemala to every nominee, it's; Ahh, umm, I'll have to get back with that information those numbers. Blah, blah, blah. Reminds me of a little kid caught in the cookie jar !
Lower your expectations. The only reason you get sick is because you don’t know liberals and their motives. The starting point is to expect the worst, then 10 levels lower than that.
@@jeffr5506 me too
I’m glad the guy running homeland security isn’t running anything in my life! This guy knows nothing but stalling and fabricating lies! This guy needs to step down, pathetic .
Yes he's a bigger than Joe!
@Tammatha Rogers 🤣🤣
He's RUNNING AMERICA INTO A 3RD WORLD HELLHOLE.
Just another BIDEN holder-upper!
The one thing he didnt lie about , he acknowledged 178,000 illegal immigrants in the month of April and didnt bat an eye. What worse is that no one in that congress begged the question about the cost to americans in healthcare, benefits, taxes, education, and jobs it will cost us after 4 years of illegal immigration at this level. It will be absolutely mind numbing when you find out.
Mayorca talks without saying anything. Amazing..
Funny how the people he picks to do a job have a knack for finishing what they are saying long before they stop talking.
I wonder what flavor of ice cream he eats.
@@charliebukowski6652
Baby shampoo flavor
Hoeven: How do you know they'll show up on their hearing date?
Mayorkas: We asked them pretty please.
Its a stupid policy, illegals need to be sent back, stop the nonsense, many of those in power are worthless,
@@ricknelsonm
Trump had ot under control. As soon as he left office, the cartel and illegals took over. Biden and Harris hasnt even thought about it. I think Biden went to the border once. But he gave the job to kamaltoe. She hasnt been there once.
From what l have heard more than once they r given a hearing date and most don't show up for it.
@@elizasteiner7330
Of course not. There's a chance they might get rejected and sent back. Their goal is just to blend in and take jobs, benifits, use roads, have kids to anchor them in, step over the people that are getting their citizenship the right way.
Just like Faucci and the Wuhan lab. How do you know they were being honest with you? His reply....I asked them !! BaHaBaHaHa
This man is lies he has to circle back on every question he just repeating him self
Is he taking lessons from psaki... The best circle back I've ever seen
He sounds like Loretta Lynch
I think they've all taken classes of how to babble incoherently and use a lot of words to say absolutely nothing
SOROS & the U.N.
It's nothing but a circle jerk and Joe Biden is the pivot man!
he be a total suck-up by all accounts.
His job. To deflect, lie and delay
Well said
EXACTLY!!!
Just like the rest of the Democrats in office, look at Hillary Clinton, Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, FBI Comey, News media, Big Tech companies, and so on , all a like in their games they play, and getting by with it . If they cannot answer the questions, then they should be released from their jobs , it means they don't even know what they are doing .
@@cindykaegi1855 oh no. They knew exactly what they are doing. As long as the end justifies the means, they have no problem telling lies. Their goals is to let all these people in so to gain more democrat's votes.
Alejandro, trained watching Leave It To Beaver, in job training, when Eddie Haskell was talking to parent Cleaver's.
"Gee, Mr. Cleaver, when I grow up, I just want to be like you"
Lol, Alejandro a total suck-up.
It's time for Texas to end this madness once and for all, TEXIT NOW!
Viva Tejas. That would be cause to return to my home State 👍☺
@@ronhill1908 Might be time to come home..
please do. Take Florida with you
@@LuciFeric137 I've heard that there's actually a movement beginning in Florida called FLEXIT. Might be something worth researching. I'm all for every state declaring their independence and breaking the tyranny of Washington DC.
You got my vote !!
He always has no "data" with him. He's so vocal in defending illegal immigration and circumventing processes. Always talking about U.S. laws but at the same time violating these laws.
Not to mention talking vaguely about immigration proceedings which means nothing!!!! Means they are never going to be removed!!!
Smug wormy Mayorkas always looks like he's talking down his nose to you.
He’s a pompous arse. $$$ cha Ching cha Ching. Immigration proceedings = everyone gets in
Marilyn Coyne Perfectly worded! 😂👏🏼 He’s got the most bizarre, idiotic face(Like Mr.Clean...🤥🤮nothing to see here....) Can NOT stand this “Pompous Arse”!!!😂👿😖
I already want to squash him like the bug he is!
Shortening the time frame means... amnesty.
Lawlessness is happening rapidly. He doesn't have the numbers? He's not doing his job at the border, so what is he doing? Digital games like the CIA ad?
Where does he think he was going today, the flipping zoo? He hasn't had an answer on hand for days.....👹
mayorkas will never answer a question, more dancing , he needs to support them, not tax payers!, what a nightmare
VOTE REPUBLICAN TO SAVE OUR USA !!!!
Maybe. Too many have sided with democrats and the establishment to inspire even a tiny bit of confidence that they have the nation's interests at heart. Except for a few, they look the same as the other side.
It’s time for a multi-party system with coalitions. I want to see the black community get their own party and stop empowering the democrats who don’t care about them, I want to see the libertarian party stand a chance in major elections and take votes from both parties useless establishments, I want to see more groups of divergent thought represented on a national level to end this ridiculous gridlock.
He NEVER answers the questions. No, instead: “Mr. Senator, if I may” … he says this OVER and OVER to buy time and switch the narrative.
Why are we letting these people lie to us with no repercussions
They are letting them destroy themselves
He should of had all that basic information at his finger tips.!!!
Never gives a straight answer
Beats around the bush without answering anything in a concise manner. Another one of so many right now.
He never answers the questions, always says I'll get back to you. Always beats around the bush.
You bet he has a right to that data man come on what a question? I don't know nothing, and have nothing,. Just lies. And still have to circle back to you. With more lies.
That's how demon-rats work. Around we go.
@@darlenemurphy4982 oroboros style snake eating its behind.
A great "yes-man".
This Mayorkas = word salad and tells US nothing!
Clone of psaki,same response to questions🤦🏻♂️
A true Jive-Turkey.
The former administration had it under control...
Eveytime they say the DOJ is taking measures I am concerned !
I can even listen to this corruption
"Beating around the bush","circular jerk", deception, denial, the ten D's
Don’t let him run his mouth, using up time
mayorkas same thing again he just smile and no answer and you know is all lie and is mocking us.
Last question, “ What is the % that are refused the right to remain in the US?”
He has been asked this question over and over by several Senators and he never has an answer. I don't think he has a clue as to what is going on with immigration at all. Hes needs a pink slip
@@cheryleaston6820 doesn't know and doesn't care.
@@cheryleaston6820 He knows exactly what is going on with immigration......let in as many people who are able to cross the border and with all speed as possible, and hide them in the US so that they can never find them again.
@Gregory Dahl Unbelievable we have homeless people that cant get stimulus money because they have no address or even assistance and they are getting a "gift card" of 1400.00. We have veterans on the streets and the government will not help them but will throw money at illegal immigrants. Despicable
@Gregory Dahl thats false. You must be a citizen or have a green card AND file taxes in order to order to qualify for stimulus payment. You must meet both requirements if you are green card holder. Citizens are not bound by the tax filer requirements. As far as homeless goes, as long as your a citizen with an active bank account, you can receive stimulus payments. Its on the govt. website. Just having a green card does not allow you to receive payments. Having only an itin doesnt allow you to have payments.
How many of those people were wearing “Biden” shirts when they crossed illegally?
He has that data, but he will have to get back to you with that information. LOL LOL
True nothing but big clown quite your lie
I can’t even listen to this corruption
He seemed so proud of himself when he started out. 178,622 Apprehensions is all he knows. He is clueless about the rest of the equation. One question and he was completely deflated.
Where exactly are they at in the United States? What state and where are they being house?
Hotels, ranch houses
Much like the Obama refugee plan they ship illegals to majority republican districts in the name of " diversity " lol
The Hyatt, The Ritz, The Omni, any hotel that is up to their standards. You think they were put into any of President Trumps hotels? LOL LOL
Hell no, Biden can't get a kick-back from them.
When common sense does not prevail anymore this is the end result
Do we have control of our border?
I'll have to get back with you on that.
"I'll have to ask Gaffy, when he comes back to himself", lol.
So exactly when does he get "the data"
Every video he's in, he never has the data he needs to answer 🙄🤣
that mayorkas guy is not the sharpest tool in the shed
He has NO IDEA WHERE THEY GO ONCE RELEASED INSIDE THE UNITED STATES…what a joke for the USA citizen
It's almost June. How in the world can he flat out say he doesn't have numbers from APRIL to dodge a question. Are we serious right now.
How is he in charge and yet knows so little
I don’t think we have control of the southern border, I really don’t
The best part is the passive aggressiveness when he says he will get him the data. It’s a clear indicator he’s never going to send anybody any data. They never do.
Yes you are correct, and if they cannot answer the questions, then they don't know their job and should be released from their job .
The people asking the questions need to do a better job of making him accountable. When he says he does not have that information, be like Senator Kennedy..."is it 10, 500, 20,000? It doesn't have to be exact just give me a ballpark answer. You have to know something. If not, why not? When will you give me the information? Tomorrow? Next month? A year from now? They are not probing enough. Make him squirm. He gets off way too easy.!!! Maybe next time he will have more information.
Why is it just the USA has humanitarian relief
Right in the beginning when he heard that number he seemed almost giddy. WTH.
I noticed that too. He was all kinds of happy about those stats!!! WTF???
He sounds like the wizard in the Wizard of Oz! Pure B S!
Entering the USA illegally is a person breaking the law... so why aren't these people held for THAT crime? Why are they released to CONTINUE TO COMMIT THAT CRIME!?
Oh the BS Flows!
Just more BS!
WOULDNT TRUST MAYORKAS AS FAR AS YOU COULD THROW HIM. 'LIAR'
NO, WE DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF OUR SOUTHERN BORDER, BUT THEN THATS THE PLAN!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR QUESTION SENATOR
"Thank you Senator, I will have to get back to you..."
Try not showing up to work one day, knowing your
Boss has to consistently except your excuse and your always going to paid.
Still spending millions on hotel rooms at our expense !!!
"I'm Secretary of Homeland Security, have no idea how many immigrants have crossed the border, nor do I know where they are!
Never prepared with inf..
They never r. How about next x they tell these so called people that they need to be prepared or face jail x. None of them ever know anything. And they never answer any questions with a straight answer. The only thing they do is thank them for asking the question so they can burn up x.
Wouldn't believe a word coming out of his mouth.
The border is wide open. Border patrol agents have been ordered to stand down. Only Texas state troopers are detaining anyone. This administration wants 2-4 million illegals by the year's end. All of them will receive, food stamps, medical care and education at taxpayers expense. COME ON IN!!! They also get a filled out Democrat voting ballet I'm sure. This is insane
The Secretary of Homeland Security didn't think to bring any facts or figures with him to a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing? Anyone might think he's trying to hide something
He didn't do his homework !!! Pathetic
I cannot listen to this this person LIE like this! HE IS DELUSIONAL!!!
They're never gonna show up for the court date get a clue
178,622 is for just 1 MONTH. Let him pay for it and his dancing
It’s amazing that this educated person come to a hearing without any information. It’s like going to a gun fight without a gun.
I love that these people never seem to have the information to questions. How can you not have information about your job? It’s your job to know. Shouldn’t the person who doesn’t do their job be fired?
You'd think there'd be a time at least once where the person called by congress to testify showed up with the data instead of promising to get them the data. Im pretty sure they know the scope of the proceedings in advance of the date they testify.
The senator's questions were clear and obvious, the answers, unfortunately, are evasive and vague -- sad.
Did biden pick a single member of his administration who is actually willing to answer a single question asked of them? So far I've not heard a straight answer from any I've seen 🙄
They're letting all of them into the country illegally
And where are the criminals being held until adjudication? Oh wait...they're free to roam as well.
Yes thank you for the question
Where are the houses and the jobs and schools for these people?
False claims of Amnesty was once under control, no longer.
HE GOES TO A MEETING WITHOUT DATA! WOW.........
Who noticed, not one question actually answered
None of them show up for court 🤣🤣🤣
Just wow 👏😳
But wait. The border is closed and secured. Ok. He needs to turn around, his pants are on fire.,
They are sending them all to the battleground states. Look how Virginia changed to blue.
Mayorkas: "instead of discuss the core issue please indulge me as I get into a handwavey semantic argument , without having any stats to present"
How is the US border with Canada closed (and has been for 10 or more months), yet some number of persons significantly higher than 100k crossed the southern US border in one month? That seems odd to me.
Listen closely. He NEVER answers where the immigrants are located, other than to say they are in the United States. He NEVER says how long it is taking to process their “humanitarian relief “ applications, other than to claim he is working on shortening the waiting period down from 3 years. He NEVER says how the immigrants are being monitored to show up for court dates. He NEVER says how many appear for their court dates , or fail to appear. And yet he says metrics and data are important, and he WILL provide that data in the future ( bull crap!). This is transparency??
He never has the numbers despite being asked this precise question every time. His picture will soon replace the definition of incompetence in standard dictionaries.
He is bouncing the question he should have the answers on hand .
There is no way this guy has any friends.
Just south of the city of Phoenix in a subdivision named Awatucki, which is on the freeway to Tucson, are several three and four story motel/hotel and suites buildings. For the past three months all four of these are completely full. There are military guards and all of the occupants are illegal immigrants waiting for some sort of process. You and I are footing the full fare bills for these people to stay indefinitely and be replaced by new occupants periodically. This may go on FOR YEARS! At what point will the citizens no longer be able to pay for lodging AND FOOD and undoubtedly full medical screening and treatment for all these folks? This is unbelievable and WE CANNOT AFFORD IT.
Did he not know he was going to appear and answer questions.
Someone needs to take Mayorkas and the mainstream media down to the border and rub their noses in it and confess on camera.
He should not get a paycheck because he is doing nothing.
Why do we have people in office doing jobs of. Importance and are lies what they say ... Fire that lier .
Secure the border walls
All these hearings it’s like they have a formula for an evasive answer... “thank you for that question- we can get you that information( yeah but when and who will be able to see it?)- we have guardrails and guidelines in place, etc etc” every time- every topic, this is their answer. Why don’t they have any numbers with them? How long have they had to prepare?
This is NUTS
This guy is not forthright. He cannot answer well bec he had not done his homework. He is lazy. We hate those breed in the govt.
The horrible moronic things that are done these next 4 years will negatively effect us for the next 50 years
Person with red shirt behind Mayorkas is exactly who I would expect to be behind Mayorkas
I'm across the pond but Jesus wept! They are pouring in.....scary stuff!
SHE SHOWD ME A BODY PART,
SHE DUG A DAGGAR, A KNIFE VERY PAINFUL INTO MY HEART AS THE TEARS WERE FALLING FROM MY EYES, SHE SAID IT WAS FOR THE SALVATION OF HER SOUL & "I KNOW HOW IT WORKS." & I ANSWERED "NO IT'S NOT FOR YOU."
I CRIED FOR A WHILE FOR OUR LADY...
THEY ARE EVIL..
NONE of these nominees seem to know ANYTHING about the issues they are being nominated to manage
Madness! Insanity...doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome! Nonsense.
Latina from Ohio
This man came for a hearing and not prepared a single shit!!!
The questions are too soft let him know how shi##y he runs his department, because he already knows
That fella is evading the question
Interesting that they NEVER have EXACT data with them. ALWAYS say, I’ll get back to you, so PUBLIC NEVER HEARS THE NUMBERS.
Translation: "We have no fucking idea where they are now, or what we are doing; except we are basically opening the border. That okay Senator?"
So in other words, they're wandering the streets in various states across the country and we're hoping they show up for their court dates.
