Mayorkas belongs in prison!!
Send him back to Cuba !!
Believe me he is following orders. Adm. behind those orders belong in prison but lots of ppl. will vote for them again in the next election.
In a box. He belongs in a box.
This is what happens when you put a democrat in the White House; you get corrupt clowns like Mayorkas, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg whose incompetence and corruption destroy this country piece by piece. Thank you Democrats for destroying this country.
Yes he does
He lies on every occasion
Should be in jail by now
He and his cronies are putting lives at risk every single day.
👊👊👊🇺🇸✌
🎯 As planned by those who installed Joe.
Just saying, Mayorkas should be standing in front of a firing squad for all the people he KILLED.
Biden Crime Family aiding and abetting China and Cartels human and drug smugglers. ☠
These people don't understand human biology. Should immediately negate them from any position of responsibility.
It makes me sick that the witness can actually under oath get away without answering or tap dancing around the real answers
That’s all he is good at! Impeachment in order!
DAMN IT!!!! YES OR NO!!!
Give him a lie detection test
he will overlied this machine LOL
He's been ordered NOT to answer questions.
Getting truth serum
Yes, a lie detector test!!!
@KB-ke3fi yes...just like all the radicals.
So sick of crimes being exposed and no one going to jail!!!!!
I agree with you.
yes but you must understand. this is considered civil violations not criminal. It has been set up that way so they can do what they want without fear of and real punishment. That why all these ppl are lawyers.
I’m not sure how this evil man can sleep at night
He doesn't sleep well at night because his devilish ways keep him going and for what? It's not like Pelosi and Mayorkas and Hillary sleep well but they are Satan's helpers. God said that the believers overcome the disbelievers til the end of time.
Take him out of his position...put him in jail
That goes for Putin after what he's done and how coincidental once old stinky stole the vote.
When one has no heart, soul, morals, ethics or conscience, and is a godless heathen Marxist..........easy.
Drugs n alcohol .
Here's an idea: use a "YES" and "NO" button for witnesses to answer questions. If more story is requested by the panel, the microphone will be activated for that question then shut off again.
That should expedite questioning without the long word salad these people go through; it allows better control of the time allotted for questioning and allows more panelists to ask questions.
Nancy Pelosi always answered a question with a question then pretended sometimes
Love this idea!
@@nanchilada123 Just a thought. Get so tired of time wasting long-winded double speak that doesn't answer the question!
What a great idea on the yes and no button. Please get on the button to day,look at all the money that is will to save the tax payers.that would be 1 yes 1 no. Game over.❤❤
Good idea
Mayorkas is almost pathologically unable to answer any question posed to him.
I think Mayorkas life would be in danger if he answered these questions honestly. At least his very lively hood would be. I don't think he has any good options.
Yes, and it will continue to be that way until there are actual consequences to his behavior.
@@rockrobful I wonder if he's figured out yet that when this all comes Crumblin down, he's gonna be the one to take the fall for it and the rest of the administration is just gonna turn around and walk off laughing.
He is an arrogant, smug, evil globalist.
🎯 Todd! But you forget their Motivation!! Like All if them, they still believe THEY will be Given a Hawaiian $28 Million$, Tax Payer Financed Gated & Armed Mansion for their Sycophant Loyalty & Machiavellian Agenda. … just like Barrack Hussein… God Bless. BRN. 👴🏽NoBody.
I want to see Mayorkas trial soon.
You won't because Mayorkas has done nothing illegal.
You are dreaming.
Or swinging from the rafters
@@lesgrossman9492 cringe
@@pizzelle2 whatever commie
If they don’t start putting some of these people who lie under oath repeatedly in jail then nobody has any reason to actually be truthful. This is absolutely ridiculous!
That ship has already sailed. As long as you speak, you are truthful. All of these questions being asked are nothing obligatory time-wasters.
Actions are louder than words!!!!!HIS ACTIONS TELL THE STORY FOR HIM!!!!
Inaction in the correct direction..
And it's not a good story
Lock him up,hurry up

Clean the swamp
Then drain it!
That was Trump's promise. How did it work out?
@@DrummerJacob
You expect one man to get rid of the swamp?
@@bobdavidsonm.d.7214 He said he would. How is it that you people are blind to Trump's faults?
@@DrummerJacob And how is Joe Potato,s promises working out for you slick? At least Trump fulfilled most of his agenda and prices were way down! Wake up!
It amusing that when any of us are under oath to answer questions on legal matters, failing or refusing to answer is contempt and is punishable. Politicians do it and it’s a shrug (nothing happens to them).
INCREASED!! He has LOST MANY MANY MANY CHILDREN!!
SUCH A COWARD!!
No More money under his Management!!
He filibusters when he can, and lies, or obfuscates when possible!
He needs to be in jail for crimes against the people of the United States.
Republicans do the exact same thing, you just don't watch them do it because it's not some gotcha clip your algorithm sends you due to your view history.
@@DrummerJacob that's some weak whataboutism you're spoutn there.
@@DrummerJacob have you been tracking me? How do you know what I watch? The only changes I’ve made is the print media. That I don’t bother with! Did you watch the hardball interview by Stephanopoulos versus the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.?
Found out he likes chocolate chip ice cream! Does he like collard greens? Does he like Puerto Rican cuisine? Does he like pierogies gefilte fish maybe! He claims he was brought up in a black church/Puerto Rican community/big Polish connection/attended temple, more than most people of the Jewish faith! He must enjoy Amtrak’s food, because he has traveled 1,000,000 miles on those rails! That’s true! That’s true Jack, because he said it!
@@DrummerJacob this guy watches all broadcasts with an open mind! Draw my own conclusions from what I see and hear! 150 assorted countries coming across our southern border! Mini getaways and what are they doing when they get here? People should feel very nervous!
Misappropriation is theft. Jail these crooks!!!
They are not jail material, they are above you and i,why do you think they start their government jobs with a few thousand dollars in the bank and retire millionaires?
@@americafirst2785
It wont happen. We the people have allowed nefarious people to ruin this country.
I have a better solution but we dont apply it to lesser criminals cause these guys top it all!
As an Employee, why is he not Simply FIRED!
How that guy has not been removed yet is beyond me.
Since nothing has happened to Mayorkas is just showing how much power they have !!!!
Yet we the people supporting this system.
He should had been put in prison and for life
@@Foodandtalk884 We the people are being forced to support this subversion of our country. It's called legalized extortion!
LIAR, LIAR, Pants on fire!!
Criminal thugs are in charge😢 nothing will be changed
There is ZERO commitment on the part of DHS to secure the border. That being the case what are they doing with OUR money, the one that has been appropriated for such purpose! I am sick and tired, AS ARE MILLIONS of other taxpayers, of seeing our hard earned taxes dollars pissed away. somebody please hold these inept thieves of taxpayer dollars accountable! Enough is enough!
Its all going to ukraine , stored away for deep states split and used against the country ,, our country , we have always paid for our own demise , now sending our men to train ukraine men , THIS MUST BE ALL STOPPED BEFORE WE ARE TOTALLY DESTROYED
Need to emphasize that the DHS is run by Biden's administration. They are ones that aren't committed to securing the border
The bigger question is what are they doing with that allocated money that is meant to secure the border? I say is going to their pockets.
Sadly nothing will happen. There were these one guys back in the day though that did stuff with tea in a bay and I'm sure if they were around things would be a little different.
He should just tell him, let the records state, you're lying under oath game over
He admitted on storage of the wall. He lied about not knowing about kids or missing.
Mayorkas needs to be investigated and brought to trial
The entire Brandon cabinet is an insult to this country.
How many Biden cabinet members have been indicted on charges? Zero how are you the Trump regime is nine and counting
An assault!
Yes they are
What is the problem? Trump finished the wall right? I mean, that's what he said he was going to do. So, the wall is built, it's finished? Did Trump lie again?
Notice the Democrats🐴 are using power to Destroy America..... Notice how the Republicans 🐘are not using power granted to Stop the Destroying of America....WHY?🥁
Secretary Mayorkas' level of slick obfuscation and avoidance is amazing...
I think politicians take a course in side-stepping questions. They also learn how to lie with a straight face with the exception of Biden. Biden was born with the talent of lying with a straight face.
He’s a very evil individual bent on our destruction
He has been improving his skill. I seem to recall the possible need to establish dept. of homeland security was to ensure that the computers of various deptments could communicate with each other to pass along information. I don't recall the D.H.S. to be established to supercede the authority of the Border Patrol which humming along quite nicely.
I'm not sure I'd use the word "amazing". I'm more along the lines of "disgusting" and "unacceptable"...:)
Impeach Mayorkas please and arrest him
I really dislike Mayorkas!! He needs FIRED!
LIES LIES AND MORE LIES!! Get him OUT!
Yes or No!! He is the most frustrating person!! Just FIRE HIM ALREADY!!!
l thought lying to congress under oath is a crime?
Why the F---k do they keep bringing this traitor to the floor being questioned by various people only to receive the same endless results which ends in a continuous endless circle to nowhere! Enough already arrest and hold these people for contempt! 🤨
This person needs to be in jail for refusing to give honest answers. Isn’t there laws to LIEING at this level? That’s right try to use up the congressman’s time with LIEING.
It's tedious and seems fruitless but remember these are all lawyers. Sometimes it takes years but it's called building a case. The average murder case can take years to go to trial. Don't lose all hope just yet. These are massive scale crimes against humanity we're talking about
@@charlessnowball8372 at this level ? The head dumbass in charge (supposedly) lies to Americans daily and no one holds him accountable so why wouldn’t these people lie too ? Monkey see monkey do !
His days r numbered n so are Biden cabal n their Marxist traitors! Watch Brendon Lee o Connell interviews with Mike Gill about the New Hampshire cartels money laundering politicians etc also Titus frost about the same stuff!! That’s why Trump home was raided m why they indicted Trump today❤❤ I’ve notified the oversite and many politicians and my local sheriffs department n newspapers ❤❤
Why is it's still being addressed?? Action speaks louder then WORDS!!
Because No President, Administration or Party has been able to solve the Immigration issue! Zero! Trump damn sure didn't by separating families and putting children into cages! So Imagine if simple minded Racists like Dumb Donny, DeSatan and the Republikkkan Party taking the Civil Issue of Immigration and turning it into a Racial and Political issue over some silly fear of being Replaced by hard working Brown People and we're suppose to trust these lying Mfers that they alone can fix it? LOL
👊👊👊🇺🇸✌
Absolutely. If any of us citizens stonewalled like this criminal we would be in jail. They should be arresting these treasonous tyrants.
WHY ISN'T ANYONE GOING TO JAIL ???? WE ARE NOW A "BANANA REPUBLIC"....
With these people it is always just words. Action speaks louder than words!
Speechless, no words
Close the border and finish the wall!!
If someone can't answer a yes or no question with a yes or no answer they shouldn't be in charge of protecting our border.
There's always a reason though.
I would take that further and say if they can't answer simple yes or no question they simply need to be fired
A snake.
He's obviously not!
@@taroman7100 you're right he's not doing a thing to control our border. That means he's taking pay for doing a job he's not doing. She needs to be in jail and be replaced and when he goes to jail he loses everything
Asking him questions is like talking to a brick wall. 🤮
You mean a border wall?
More like a bowl of jello.
When are government officials going to be held accountable? Talk is cheap, we want ACTION!
Just lock him up now I'm sick of it's jail time for him right now
The feds keep track of citizens. Why would it not be appropriate to demand fingerprints, DNA samples and regular check-ins of anyone here illegally with immediate deportation of anyone caught not in compliance?
Because our economy depends on immigrants! The citizens become lazy, unskilled & drug addicts ...sorry 🤪
Maybe because they aren't criminals until they commit a crime...
@@JohnDoe-qz1ql Crossing our border without permission is a crime. Not to mention human trafficking. Duh.
@@truthsayer9534 You're right, read it too fast. It just isn't trafficking unless your assisting in bringing in others.
Anyone can be stopped by Border Patrol which goes inland 100 miles from each Border. That means BP could stop 75% of citizens in USA with check points or just to ask you to prove you have a right to be in USA and ask to see your papers. They are not just a Entrance Keeper.
Well done! He called him out clearly and effectively.
But does it matter when the adm. behind him is actually making him work against U.S laws.
The problem is NOTHING is being done to eradicate this buffoon.
WTF???? The wall was a throw away line at Trump's 2016 rallies and you IDIOTS loved it so much because you HATE BROWN PEOPLE, it became a real thing and Trump eventually was forced by his own words to build parts of the wall. In fact, when Trump made his first request for Border Wall Funding, most Republicans voted against it. He had to STEAL money from the military housing improvement fund to build the little wall he completed in his 4 years. But thank you, Republicans, for proving every day you are the PARTY OF RACISM now and FOREVER.
You're right and there are a lot of people doing that. But what are we doing about it? It seems we're doing a lot of talking but no action
@@dianasims6819 they can only expose him publically and they are building a case but as long as Garland is the AG and Biden is the Biden it won't get resolved. A few of them have publically called for his resignation.
Thank you Mr. Cloud for being my representative in South Texas. God bless you!
I think as joint CEOs of our country we should consider firing this individual. He is so annoying.
How is it that Myorkis can get away with refusing to do the job he was appointed(hired) to do? How much longer can this go on? HONESTLY.
The job Biden appointed him to do was to bring in aliens who would become fully dependent on the Gub'mint and vote Democrat, for which he is being remarkably successful.
As long as he's in office.
Mayorkas is an anti American terrorist. Since Biden has taken office and Mayorkas has been put in charge he has allowed well over 5 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS into the country. He is promoting this invasion and allowing it. He needs to be tried for treason.
The media and democrats are all in lock step. They know the plan and Mayorkas is in on it.
No doubt he is doing exactly the job he was hired to do. What we need is for Congress to impeach this president. Maybe if she wants to STAY president for the rest of the term, Kamala Harris will decide to close the border.
No more lawyers in charge of security from here on out!
Lawyers are excellent liars!
@@DR.ELEKTRIK Most of our Congresspeople are lawyers.
Why are we having hearing on the Border Wall???? Your Cheeto Messiah told us before he left office that he had FINISHED the wall. WTF??? Who is lying here? CLUE: It is the Republicans who will LIE for Trump for any reason on earth.
Lawyers are the very root of all of these problems. There’s no other way except lawyers who think they’re smarter than everyone else in there arrogance have caused all of this mess.
what
America is watching, the whole world is watching! We all see through the BS.
In school we learned about the "understood you" meaning if someone looks at you or you are the only other person around, you understand that the other person is talking to you without them having to directly address you. In this circumstance, we understand that when Mayorkas & all the rest, start rambling instead of answering a question directly, what the actual answer is.
Im glad to see many people at the table.
We need to put a shock system on his seat. Every time he goes past yes or no he gets a shock.
Same for Yellen, Wray, Blinken, and Garland.
Oh boy do I like that idea I want to watch if they do it
Good idea !
Who is that Yellen keeps looking over at when she is trying to explain that the president is all for going to help? She looks at the person that is questioning her and then looks at somebody else...who is it? Every question that she is asked, she starts off with "the president is or will something or other"..Does she have a desk in the Oval office or in Brandon's basement? Just alittle too weird to me..
@@joannecusaac4789 I noticed that too
😂😂😂
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Indeed. Best comment here. It's up to us citizens to say ok enough of this shit. Sadly nobody will get on board for that. But it is time for the people to stand up. Enough of this shit.
Could not have said it better.
Guy keeps asking for money, after he is removed he needs financial penalties to drive the point home.
These people need to have clearly stated job requirements, evaluation of whether they have met those goals, and termination of the position if they don’t meet the goals.
so... essentially
Congress: approves budget for wall
Head of DHS: uses wall budget to store construction peices for wall.
Texas: Trys to buys construction wall to build wall
Head of DHS: Denies Texas Purchase.
Yes.
That pretty well sums up what I heard
Mayorkas simply making Mexican drug / human smuggling cartels great again.
That tells you all you need to know about Mayorkas and his priorities.
Mayorkas, at the minimum, should have been fired or impeached long ago. At best tried for treason, and thrown in prison now for all the human suffering he's caused.
With this man in charge, we're definitely moving in the wrong direction, and he should have been gone yesterday!
"...I don't know of a single child that we have lost..." And there it is, he admits it. Purposeful incompetence at it's finest.
excellent questioning strong and real.
Jail & fire
This is your PATRIOT ACT in action.. THEY are finally showing their hand.
As I said in another video. Tape his damn mouth shut & hand him a Yes & No card to hold up.
That storage fee should be deducted from mayorkasss salary, and then put mayorkasss in jail.
He is master at burning up time while not directly answering questions. I got to give him that.
I personally wouldn't give him a damn thing !
Except a 300 mag at 50 yards
Almost every day, we get alerts of child abduction in TEXAS. Sometimes, we get text alert twice a day this is getting so scary
That is very sad. This has got toSTOP
He needs to be standing against a wall, facing a certain type of squad!!
@RoadGlide John Great point 🤙
Its time for Mayorkas to go... 🇺🇸
Good grief why can't these guys answer a simple question why do they always have to dodge questions?
He has a way of saying a lot of words without saying anything. And things are worse under his watch because that's what happens when you put politicians in roles ment for people with actual experience
that is why Biden put in the job, he talks without saying anything -- he takes his orders from Biden and acts like talking head
I wonder if he and Kamala Harris are related. They both do a lot of words salads and say nothing at all
a fking criminal,
A typical lawyer, after all, gets paid to talk and try and convince you to believe him instead of your own eyes.
Thank you Representative Cloud for your strong leadership and exposing the evil of this administration.
Evil of this administration. Lol
@@donnabrockbank8296 He’s not wrong 🤷🏻♂️
@@MrManfly Yes he is. What evil?
@@MrManfly yes, he is. The Evil of the last administration doesn't make this administration Evil. Republican projection once again.
@@donnabrockbank8296 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
A clear indicator when he knows the answer:
“Congressman, I’ll be sure to look into that and get back to you on that matter.”
When these people get called to testify before Congress, they have a clear report document if all the questions going to be asked and the subject matter to which will occur during the hearing.
This guy is the perfect personification of someone who is heaped in politics his entire life. No answers, just rhetoric. No decisions, just a “I’ll get back to you.”
Not a penny for this dirty corrupt department.
We want to hear from the contractors & precisely why they were cancelled.
I think I can answer that one. Biden shutdown the wall. He said he would and he did just like you shut down the pipeline
If this were my work record … I would have been fired by now. Wth
Thank you for exposing their evil, I could do a better job securing our borders
Here is an idea. How about instead of catch and release we try catch and deport!
Is there no means by which witnesses at these hearings can be directed or compelled by the person in charge to DIRECTLY answer, as with a simple YES or NO, the questions put to them? Mayorkas is being given such incredible latitude that these hearings are little more than a primer for individuals to learn techniques for avoiding the need to say anything about the questions proposed.
Dog and pony show. Gonna stay that way til the Sheeple decide otherwise.
Yes, there is such means. It goes something like this:
Me: "Secretary Mayorkas, how many sex traffickers have you released into the population? YES or NO!"
Mayjerkoff: " Senator, That's precisely why we are ......"
Me: "I've had it with this bullsh_t!"
Then I'd walk across the room and stand over him and say,
"Last chance, you north end of a horse facing south. The next words you say will be either 'YES' or 'NO'. Any words other than those will allow you a second choice. I will put my right fist through your teeth and out the back of your skull. Your choice is whether you wish to go to intensive care or the morgue!"
Red Herring responses are the common ground of all politicians including trump the candidate.
Republicans do the exact same thing verbatim, you just don't see it because it's not on some 'gotcha' viral video.
Mayorkas needs to be removed from office
charge anyone who refuses to answer questions in congress with... contempt of Congress
A lot of Republicans would be charged.
And immediate firing
I wish one of these congressmen would ask Mayorkas if he planned on
apologizing to the border patrol for accusing them of whipping migrants.
I can't believe that you let him in the Whitehouse
If he’s talking he’s lying!!
How does this man sleep? He is like a robot without a conscience. Anyone feeling this kind of heat would have to change course or they must have a heart of stone
Let him sleep but not wake up
Please fire this traitor now and lock him up for his crimes.
Fire him and put him in jail
The average person would be in fired why is he still in position. He is a crook and not for America.
Amazing! If Any American Citizen where to be Questioned Like This, We Would be Strong Armed to give a Yes or No Answer. So Sick and Tired of ALL the Double Standards In ALL Forms. ALL these LIARS, RATS and Snakes Are Going Down Now and Will Be Exposed to the World Very Soon. Praise The LORD Our Redeemer!!! ❤️🙏🏼👍🏽😊
You cannot be compelled to answer a question with only "yes" or "no". 🤷♂
Lord Jesus Christ help us, deliver us from the current evil people in powerful Political Positions in our government.
@@davereeves1967 I’m not here to argue about something my friends and I have experienced more than once. You may be correct in what you say legally but I have seen the intimidation first hand and from serving on Jury Duty to see that it does happen wether it’s illegal or Not! Our Justice System is as Corrupt as the rest of Our Government!!! That’s Why They Get Away with ALL That They Do! But I’m OK with that because We Will All See GOD Move HIS Hand Very Soon and Justice Is His Alone and It’s Not Coming, It’s Already Here. Claim Your Victory Now!!! ❤️🙏🏼👍🏽😎
MAYBE they should ask him if he has locks on his home when he says Yes, ask him Why? Then ask him what the definition of UNLAWFUL Entry means.
I’m tired of the questioning, fire him and then send him to jail already!!!!
for wasting more of our money, who will be paying it back ?
Why has this man not been arrested? He is willfully violating his orders, and refusing to do his legal Duty. Only in government can you refuse to do your job and still get paid! Outrageous! A 7th grader can see what a dishonest, despicable person this man is just by listening to him!
Prevention, not Process!!
It's so obvious mayorkas doesn't take these people serious. He literally NEVER answers the questions. I hope the next administration puts policies in place to hold people like this accountable
Mayorkas to Congressman....
"I am totally confused by any question, as I have been instructed to never answer the question"
"Nothing personal, just part of my job"
He says no children have been lost? What about the 85,000 they came out and said they don't know where they are?
Mayorkas is the Poster Child for the term "Beating Around the BUSH"... he has stalling down to a art form ...
Beating would be good!
All words but no action.
How this guy even still has a job is absolutely despicable………. 99.9% of our country’s population would’ve been fired long ago for the terrible job that he is doing……….. this whole administration is nothing but a “bad joke”…..
When are they going to get rid of that bluffer, he's infuriating.
I don't know how they sit there & listen to lies & BS every day.None of em can say "yes" or "No",ever🤡
They are all sent to the WH and instructed before they go...
Why does the word "Honorable " appear before Mayorkas name. Certainly not earned.
And even MORE certainly not deserved.
Every time that I watch this hearings, I hear good questions and no answer what so ever, either for immigration, health or education.
Not only did they cancel contracts, they had to pay penalties and fees to get out of those contracts. A huge ripoff of the peoples money.
So remove the funding for his paycheck and see how long he stays. You have the purse just remove his pay and see if he stays.
I have never hated anyone before, now I am allowing myself the opportunity
😡 Of all the rotten government employees we have🙄 this is the one I wish would disappear 😡😡😡
Fauci is 1st on my list. He needs to be deported to China
The hard way
He infuriates me. I would personally love to remove that smug smirk from his face.
Nah, Fauci takes that crown
Yes sir,with you all the way.
