He guided the country to energy independence ~ he rebuilt the military ~ he restocked our emergency energy reserves ~ he put the country back to work ~ he was big for and in behalf of minority causes. On the other hand, Biden is depleting our military supplies without replacing them ~ Biden is using up the emergency supply of oil and the price of gas has gone up to over $4 in my state and in others over $5/gal.

So, earlier "the border is secure", now, "the border is as secure as it can be". Previously, Mayorkas said that: "the border situation is a challenge, not a crisis", now, "the border is a crisis". Explain yourself, Mayorkas!!! A reasonable & truthful man would say: that the border was not secure under the Biden administration and that caused a crisis brought on by Biden's EOs.

However, it is not a funding issue, it is policy issues. Mayorkas has technology and other assets that could be utilized but are not, and funding that can be used on border security, but is not. Reversing the policies that were working under the previous administration is a huge factor, as well as not following the laws that already exist. If border policies were enforced, everything past that should never even take place, if when people who cross illegally are dealt with as people who have already broken the law. Then the murders, rapes, drunk drivers who kill Americans, etc., would not be the end result of having a border policy that allows anyone who wants to, to come into the country with little to no vetting.
At least charge Mayorkas with perjury since he lied repeatedly under oath. 🧙♂️

This is so embarrassing. These hearings have been going on for the better part of three years, and every single one of them produces the same exact result……NOTHING. What’s the point ?
motion to dismiss should require 60 percent to pass
If he sent them back, then how do so many get released into the country?
MAYO doesn't have to read anything nor his "counsel" because they ALL are not under the law, they do as they please, the whole Democratic party could care less about the border thus they dismissed this whole act
The screening and vetting must be giving them a High Five walking in.
Yes now he gets tough after he knows nothing will happen to him. What a two faced loser.
Romney is the only Democrat that has been harsh on Mayorkas.

Don’t mistake my comment for liking the guy… I do not. Just giving him credit where credit is due.
FIVE TIMES? Five times in TWENTY TWO YEARS? Why is he proud of that? He should be honoring his oath of office every single moment of every single day. Not five whole times. How the hell did this guy not get fired 21 years ago with that mindset?

Why aren't large numbers of concerned Americans showing up where Mayorkas lives and works? Is this not enough of a crisis to warrant that level of protest and pressure?
People also ask What does it mean if someone lies to your face? In most cases, lying is not the behavior of a confident and well person. Those who lie often and can lie straight to your face without guilt are often plagued by a certain insecurity. They do not trust their own capacity to succeed and survive in life without dishonesty
No one is asking the right question. Is this deliberate or not!
