She seemed angry from the get go...nothing he said got through her thick skull

[@onamattapeeya]

I love the fact that this video is on a channel run by CBS News and all of the comments show that the American people are not as stupid as Democrats think they are and I say that as a former democrat, people see through this fake news quite easily, if this journalist was a lawyer she would be put in contempt of court for leading the witness and providing false statements as fact

[@joved1662]

You typing that only shows that you are ignorant about the facts and he knows that he can manipulate you. It’s not that difficult to find studies and facts with the internet. If you learn the facts you will be able to identify those politicians, like Mr. Johnson, that are dishonest and insult your intelligence to your face.

Journalists are the PR Firm for the Democrats. In this interview, she's pushing the Democrat's talking points and rejecting the Republican's answers. When you watch a reporter interview a Democrat, more often than not, they'll show agreement with the Democrat's position.

[@mattheffner1019]

They are defending their world view that they have developed over the past 2 decades since Obama won the first time. All of their friends live the same lifestyle and believe the same things. They can’t possibly fathom that an educated journalist could be so wrong about any one topic.

(Sec. 108) This section modifies a provision that exempts certain applicants for CBP law enforcement positions from having to take a polygraph test. For example, this section provides this exemption to certain law enforcement officers, whereas currently the waiver is only available to eligible veterans.

What happened to journalism? Asking questions and then letting the person respond seems to be a thing of the past. "Journalists" now make obviously agenda-driven statements and then ask the person to respond. If the response isn't what they want, they interrupt the person, talk over them, and attempt, again, to get the interviewee to say what the journalist WANTS them to say. It's weird and disturbing.

Federal

[@DRKrust492]

Bills are to be written in Congress and then sent to the President to be signed into Law. Then the Congress must pass funding for enforcement of said Law. The House is refusing to pass new immigration legislation or to provide more funds to address the border because doing so might provide a political 'win' for Biden in an election year. So, they will leave the border in crisis until a Republican is in the WH just so they have something to complain about. Some of them have actually said this; the rest are cunning enough not to speak it.

HR2, which is the second bill passed by Mike Johnson, includes the mandating of E-verify

[@johntaylor4817]

@@KrimsonStorm looking at the E-verify provisions in HR2 it looks pretty weak. For instance an employer of 20-400 has 18 months to reauthorize workers. And it may not end up in the final bill because some republicans representing rural areas don’t want it included. So unless we have a very strong E-verify across the board don’t complain about illegal immigration.

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

Or a guest worker program, because that would actually work. People can enter and work and send money home to their families when our economy has the need, like now. Or not accept guest workers when our economy is unable to provide jobs for USA residents, like the economic mess during Reagan and Bush Sr. We actually have a shortage of workers now, especially workers for jobs that USA residents do not want. This Johnson guy is talking about policies that are out of date.

[@johntaylor4817]

@@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288 yes a well thought out guest worker program. Perhaps one set up with our embassies to identify and vet the worker, then it would be up to the employer to provide transportation to the place of employment.

Most shocking of all, she asks, "Don't you need the help of the Homeland Security Secretary, instead of trying to impeach him?" I have been watching for literally years the hearings with the Homeland Security Secretary, and we are getting nowhere with that. Yes, ma'am‼️ impeachment is the next step, if you are at all interested in saving this country.
