Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee used their first hearing of the new Congress to zero in on what they call a crisis at the southern U.S. border.
The committee's chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, presided over a hearing Wednesday billed as "The Biden Border Crisis — Part I." As the name implies, it's the first of what are likely to be many GOP-led hearings on the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Jordan and other Republicans on the committee blamed the administration's policies for the record number of migrant apprehensions at the border over the past two years — even as President Biden has kept some of President Trump's key border policies in place, including the pandemic restrictions known as Title 42.
Some in the GOP majority also amplified controversial rhetoric about an "invasion" of migrants, and pushed questionable claims about how the synthetic opioid fentanyl is smuggled into the U.S.
Republicans sought to portray the surge in migrants as a threat to communities across the country, while Democrats accused them of fear-mongering and spreading misinformation.

Poor New York. They can't handle a couple of thousand, but Texas, Arizonia, and New Mexico each deal with hundreds of thousands.

While Jerry Nadler and others run defense in protection of the George Soros open border mentality that is now embedded the Democratic Party, German Delta whiskey TV tells it like it is.

Jerry Nadler: "Antifa is a myth"
Contrary to hundreds of livestreams every night and overwhelming video-evidence to the contrary, Representative Jerry Nadler of New York (D) states that the ...
NPR was the same people that didn't want to cover the hunter Biden laptop considering it to be rushing this information and Jerry Nadler was the first to say that antifa was a myth when I was watching it on TV when Portland Oregon was hit almost every day with rioting. I spent 20 days in Washington State upon active duty in the summer of 2020 and Jerry Nadler is a freaking liar and idiot.

He's just trying to confuse voters because the Democrats are now behind the power curve because the big lie they made is backfiring on them. We will continue to lose Democrats to go independent or Republican as they continue to destroy America.
