secretary mayorkas: more than that. senator whitehouse: is there anything more you need to help the u.s. for ukrainians find temporary shelter here? secretary mayorkas: we are focused on uniting for ukraine. i believe the last figure i saw we have provide relief for more than 100,000 ukrainians. i will confirm that figure. one of the needs that we have is to resource u.s. citizenship and immigration services. as i referenced earlier it was an agency that was financially devastated during the prior administration and we are very focused on getting it back into safe and secure financial condition. senator whitehouse: it seems clear to me ukraine has demonstrated enormous patriotism and that those who have fled the brutalities and atrocities of putin are truly seeking only temporary shelter and employment here so that they can go back and help rebuild their lives and their country. is that your experience as well? secretary mayorkas: yes, it is. senator whitehouse: thank you very much. thank you, chairman. >> senator grass

mayorkas says he doesn't know what the wristbands are. president biden is honing his skills in extreme spin, a form of dishonesty, quote, m80 house republicans would cut funding for border security and allow nearly 900 pounds of fentanyl into our country. 900 pounds. where did that number come from? it isn't -- he doesn't mention fentanyl often but when he does he blames republicans for the problem he obviously created himself. when does been become a lie? we saw something similar in the aftermath of the nashville shootings, karine john pearson, quote, how many more children will be murdered before the republicans pass and assault weapons ban, failing to note the democrats controlled the house, senate and white house for two years and she fails to mention the mental health of the shooter or the person's transgender status, just blaming republicans. this administration must think we are stupid but we are not, spin and lies don't -- it turns people off. honesty in this government is sadly lacking. second hour of varney just getting started.

did mayorkas share it with the president?ho's making the decisions about what the narrative is going to be? is that the white house? i think we know that. we also know that in this instance. the white house called this hearing a stunt. even though democrats used our money to buy all of their travel, have lined up at least one witness, they flipped the switch politically, and canceled on all of this. same thing with the whipping. the white house was still trotting this out, long after that email had landed. >> uh-huh. >> in the box of mayorkas. we also know that there was a narrative about the thousands of haitians under the bridge in eagle pass. i mean, that was a nasty scene. it looked terrible for the white house. mayorkas calls the border patrol. i got that on the record. he wanted to know, is this real. did the news media make up this picture. i guess that was what they were going to float. the border patrol said everything everybody is dealing with it right now. it's very, very real. so the white house wants america to b

their un-american so him and mayorkas needs to be impeached.] >> i agree 100%. >> the only thing that changed in january 2021, we did not cut border patrol budget. we did not cut the number of border patrol agent's. biden killed 89 trump policies and that has resulted in 4.7 million encounters, 1.2 million got away. if you come to the border and you see a cbp officer and you tell -- tell yourself in, you're coming into the united states. who would avoid those people? we have a distaste in the country with population is less than that -- eight states in the country with a population less than that. it is not a money issue. it is on the people issue although we need more people in certain areas. it is the decision of president joe biden and mayorkas resulted in more people come into the united states then two past presidents combined. >> will expand on what you said. the most important things we can say is this president has created national security crisis. this the biggest national security failure i've seen since 9/11. 9/11 terrorists killed t

so what does that say about alejandro mayorkas? i think it says what we all know about alejandro mayorkas is they have been deliberately lying, misleading the public not just on this issue but every issue. because they will be say these are asylum-seekers. they want people to come even though they know 90 plus percent are not legitimate asylum-seekers. they are always pushing these false narratives. he is lying about his own agents, which border patrol chief also mentioned on the instant on horseback the whipping. so i think there is no confidence in new york from ortiz down. it is because he simply isn't doing his job, not following the law. he desecrates his own on a daily basis and makes a mockery of the agencies. it is really no respect. >> ashley: i will get to the whipping accusations in a minute. but i do have to talk about the root democrats on this field hearing. they had plane tickets ready to go and the travel was set up but the republicans are traveling to the border to attack the administration and try to score politic

it got heated at times, multiple lawmakers calling for mayorkas to resign.y from this, does anything change as a result? >> i agree with it. i think that secretary mayorkas, i called for his resignation a month or so ago. you have to look back, in the last 12 months of the trump administration, about a half million illegal encounters, people coming across the border for the first or one of several times. the last 12 months, we have had 3 million. what occurred over the last two years, a complete rollback of all the trump policies that were working. they were legal, they were constitutional, and they worked. and now we have an administration and a secretary of homeland security that i honestly believe thinks that open borders are ok. 80,000 people dying from fentanyl overdoses every year in this country is not ok. allowing the cartels to make $800 million plus for human trafficking is not ok. over 800 immigrants recovered dead on u.s. soil in in 2022 is not ok. not to mention the untold rapes, murders and assaults before they get to the border. secretary mayo

mayorkas, is fact all he's doing is following instruction from the home office.ting him to do and he's doing it. >> i blame alejandro mayorkas, he knows when it takes 80% of agents off the line, they have known terrorists arrested trying to sneak in, he knows this is a huge national security problem. he should tell the white house i can no longer support open border, it is creating an issue for the nation. overdoses from fentanyl because 80% agents are off the line. he has duty and he should stand up and say it or resign in protest because so many americans in record numbers are dying. >> steve: don't hold your breath. >> i won't hold my breath, they have no intent of securing the border. >> steve: the news last week, high-speed chase, 11 migrants in a truck, wound up hitting a car driven by a grandmother and her granddaughter, who were killed instantly. in texas, we put together people talking about the chases and how everybody is in danger right now. watch. >> we can't tolerate lawlessness. >> we have seen huge increase in number of pursuits, i can't let these

he said this about whether mayorkas should be impeach peached. the mayorkas might come come for an imetch poop -- impeachment vote, i may vote for it. so when you have democrat members of congress from california saying they might support impeach mayorkas, it really speaks to that development we saw this past week where chief ortiz was here in the rgv, and he said many if his words that the border is not, they do not have operational control of the border. it stands in stark contrast to what we've heard from secretary mayorkas who last year said that they do have operational control. come spend time with this texas dps officers like i have, and you'll find out that's simply not true. st the not the case. it's anything but under control. guys? will: griff, speaking of tweets, i don't think i missed in this e in your report, i definitely saw this this morning that we just hit a record number of chinese nationals crossing the southern border. >> reporter: that's right. in fact, just yesterday, will, the chief of the rgv sector here, gloria chavez, b

they impeach president trump over a phone call but they can impeach alejandro mayorkas for everythingley: the border patrol chief defendant agents whipping migrants and 2021, listen to this. >> i can attest how vital horse patrol to responding to remote and harsh locations. the mass location was chaotic. we had over 20,000 people show up in one place in a short period of time. even so, we were able to provide food, water, and medical care without a single loss of life. >> ashley: following up on what he just said, i don't like to do this but i want to play with the democrats had to say about the incident in 2021. listen to this and we will talk on the other side. >> the entire nation so horrifying who do not reflect what we are. >> what we witnessed is worse than what we witnessed in slavery. >> it invoked images of some of the worst moments of our history. >> to treat it like they did, horses running over people being strapped. it is outrageous. >> ashley: your reaction of what you heard, tom. >> it angers me because not only the president that secretary of homeland security stood at

texas senator ted cruz going after alejandra mayorkas. watch this one.it. >> what is maddening is mayorkas may be the worst witness i have ever seen. he will not answer a single question, doesn't matter what you ask him, you can ask him what day it is, what time of day it is and he will say senator, we want to protect america and he reads is talking points. he -- i've never seen a witness, this was true in all of my questions, 10 minute round, wouldn't answer a single question i asked the whole time. it shows a contempt not just for congress but for the american people. stuart: let's bring in former secretary chad wolf. nothing ever changes, nothing happens. if you impeach mayorkas nothing will change because basically this is biden's border policy. what say you? >> without a doubt this is the biden administration's policy, mayorkas is fulfilling those orders but the buck stops with him, he's the secretary so a lot of these decisions he has to implement, how you blend it is important, the ability not to answer questions to senator cruz or the members of

mayorkas, at the time was only 40 something. we ask you about that number, they say what is the status of those individuals? his response was astonishing to every member of the committee. both republican and democrat. when you say, he did not. no he didn't know the name is detained. this year, 30 a. number of aliens on that terrorist screening database. already this year. 190 feet three, number of fentanyl related deaths in the united states. every single day. we are gonna hear from mr. done, the heart of the causes families and communities. this fentanyl problem. these numbers make clear that the biden administration does not have operational control of the border. month after month after, month we have set records for migrants coming into the country. and frankly, i think it is intentional. i don't know how anybody with common sense or logic could reach any other conclusion. it seems deliberate and premeditated and intentional. if that is not bad enough, we now know that the crisis is no longer just confined to the southwest b

secretary mayorkas cannot handle that. you cannot stop those factors you have nothing to do with them you've got to doubt the consequences of them. if you is that each one of these elements i have described has an urgency of its own and requires focused attention including some these legal questions and cruz you have reason senator lee has raised. that is displayed by background to express my own frustration when i see is a failure of congress to do its part. now secretary mayorkas i give you a chance to address the question senator hawley was raising and just take a minute to do that. >> thank you, senator. so let me explain the program that we announce and have been implementing since january 5 because it has been tremendously successful. we were encountering. >> but quickly progressed we were encountering a significant number of individuals in cuba, haiti, nicaragua and venezuela. with respect to cuba, nicaragua and venezuela specifically it's extremely difficult to remove individuals from those countries because of the

you had dhs secretary mayorkas on the hill today.dy, watch. >> our southern border is not secure, is it? >> we are so focused on the security of our southern border. we are doing so much with respect. >> but they are not succeeding. >> let me share with you the challenge of migration that we are experiencing at our southern border is not exclusive to the united states. >> my job is to worry about the united states. >> you know, i have watched a lot of these hearings with the mayorkas guy and i have just never really seen one where he is not willing to say now that the border is secure. he is staying clear of that topic all together. instructive to see how far we have come in the couple of years. >> the numbers are so bad the gaslighting can only get them so far. although he did try to tweak the definition of operational control of the border to, again, assert that this administration has achieved operational control of the southern border, which is a joke. i think most people understands it's a joke. if you don't believe me or the dh

this is a well-known tactic that's been used throughout secretary mayorkas' tenure. one of the most notable examples was in 2021 when the small small town -- the small town of del rio, texas, all of a sudden was flooded with 15,000 migrants from haiti. 35,000 people live in that small town, and they were overwhelmed by the huge volume of people from -- i know it's hard to imagine, a but from haiti. to state the obvious, the del rio border patrol secster doesn't have the capacity to process or care for that number of individuals at any one time. in an attempt to help, the administration moved agents from other checkpoints to the sector where the surge was happening african american but, after all, that's exactly what the cartels had hoped for. as there was a surge of agents to del rio, that left other portions of the border unprotected. administration officials later told congressional staff that this massive courage of -- massive surge of migrants was a coordinated effort by the cartels. they directed. the president pro tempore: a single location so that other -- mr.

and secretary mayorkas has buried his head in the sand.e is clearly doing about the border. >> ashley: i want to get to this now. the president is set to address the nation today on that banking system as the signature bank is shut down following the collapse of svb. you know, congresswoman some are calling it bailout. some are not. where do you stand on it? >> well, we are a little murky on the details. i would like to know how it's going to be paid for specifically. we were on a call last night. if you looked at svb's latest public filing healthy balance sheet and assets on the books. i would like to know if an auction of the bank is on the table. i believe it may be. there may be a way to recoup some of that investment. you know, we'll sees a we learn more later on this week. >> todd: joe biden releasing a statement last knights night i'm firmly committed to hold those most accountable nor mess fully accountable. that seems like something in the coming day weeks and months with the market set to open in three and a half hours what does

mayorkas for being here. i'm troubled by a number of things including some exchanges you had a few minutes ago with a couple of my colleagues. one in particular dealing with your definition of operational control. what troubled me for the fact it isn't just a casual term people throw around. it's a term that made its first appearance with your service at the department of homeland security. this is a statutorily defined the term of art and congress has defined it now for the last 17 years involving the prevention of all unlawful entries into the united states. so it appears to me that your definition that has to do with maximizing resources distorts this. it appears to need to be something that is perhaps an intentional effort to obfuscate the problem, to hide the absolute humanitarian and legal disaster that we have unfolding on our southern border, one with massive national security implications and human health implications as we have seen 110,000 americans die from fentanyl just last year. all that fentan

isn't that the exact opposite of what we heard from secretary mayorkas? has been an ongoing discussion he believes the border is secure but the testimony we heard from yesterday certainly indication of what the border patrol is facing. the white house calling his hearing in texas nothing more than a partisan game but the lawmakers chairing the committee said it should be outrage and all the americans, this is video of the hearing yesterday, the chairman of the home and security blasting the biden administration but also specifically calling out, ticketing secretary ali hundred mayorkas. >> the failure to southern border is not about money or numbers and border patrol agents, not about technology, this crisis, this human tragedy is a result of decisions and incompetence of the secretary. >> the nation's border patrol chief telling lawmakers agents do need help coming from washington and lack of deterrence encouraged many migrants to cross into the u.s. illegally. he argued the decision to remove some border wall fencing and infrastructure was all about pol

schlapp: what do you think, impeach mayorkas?
