Nadler: You [Mayorkas] inherited a mess when you took over the department, and no one can solve overnight the problems left for you by the previous administration. Through neglect and often malice, your predecessors more or less dismantled our immigration system, and ignored the grave and growing threat of domestic terrorism.

[Nadler is out of his mind]

Jordan: We have a secretary of homeland security who is intentionally, deliberately, in a premeditated fashion, executing a plan, his words, executing a plan, to overwhelm our country with millions, and millions, of illegal migrants.

Mayorkas was a federal prosecutor. I'd like to see an in-depth analysis of his cases; who he went after, and who he declined to prosecute. It would almost certainly be full of the corruption necessary for him to be in this position.

Mayorkas repeatedly complaining about the 'cruel treatment of families by the prior administration'.

LIVE: Biden to deliver remarks; beg for more money to give Ukraine

[starting soon]

McClintock seemed to be saying that DHS uses the term 'aggravated felony' in stats, putting crimes like murder under a blanket term. The phrase is actually in code, but using it in stats would seem to be an attempt to hide/obscure some of the violent crimes occurring.

Sounds like Gohmert was kept away from the border? By an order given by someone yet to be identified?

Mayorkas forced to admit that the 'broken immigration system' of years past allowed fewer people to illegally enter the country.

Mr. Biden: The cost of this fight is not cheap, but caving to aggression is going to be more costly if we allow it to happen. We either back the Ukrainian people as they defend their country, or we stand by as the Russians continue their atrocities and aggression in Ukraine.

Mr. Biden: We will not let Russia intimidate or blackmail their way out of these sanctions, We will not allow them to use their oil and gas to avoid consequences of their aggression.

Biden says Ukrainian refugees are being flown directly to the United States without having to cross over the southern border, but many actually are coming over the southern border, as documented by journalist Oscar El Blue.

Mr. Biden; We are prepared for whatever they do. [Russia]

Mr. Biden: I am considering dealing with some [student] debt reduction.

[through an executive order; using taxpayer money to pay for the debts of others]

Mayorkas agrees that "unlawful presence in the United States alone will not be a basis for immigration enforcement". [his words]

Biggs: The Secure Fence Act of 2006; you [Mayorkas] are in total violation of that. 'Operational control'. You don't have the border under operational control, do you? You are not preventing entries, you are fomenting entries. You're encouraging it.

Gaetz: Under the laws that exist now, a judge has told 1.2 million people that they have no right to be here. Do you plan to remove those 1.2 million people?

Mayorkas: With the resources we have, we have to allocate…

Gaetz: How much money to deport all of them? How many agents?

Mayorkas: There are a number of questions that your question raises, with respect to whether all those individuals actually have been given due process.

Gaetz: These are the people that have had due process…You have no plan to remove them. You actually don't want to remove them.

Gaetz: Will some of the [illegals] commit crimes?

Mayorkas: Undoubtedly

Gaetz: So Americans who are the victims of crimes of the people you release in the country, are collateral damage that you are willing to accept in order to have our border function as a turnstile.

Mayorkas should be considered an accessory before the fact of any violent crime committed by illegals allowed to roam free at his orders.

Buck: You [Mayorkas] are responsible for thousands of young girls being forced into prostitution in this country.

Buck: Many of my constituents have asked me if you [Mayorkas] will be impeached when republicans gain control next year. They don't believe you've committed a high crime, and they don't believe you've committed a misdemeanor. My constituents want you impeached because they believe you've committed treason. They believe you are a traitor. They compare you to Benedict Arnold.

Lieu: In four years, all the former president managed to do is build approximately 455 miles [border wall], of which only 49 were in places where there weren't already physical barriers.

[barriers such as fencing that was falling apart; easily scaled]

Mayorkas: The effort to smuggle Fentanyl into our country actually comes through the Ports of Entry.

[100% false]

Scanlon [chair] and democrats, have no interest in knowing if illegals on the terrorist watch list have been released into the country. It appears that they likely have been.
