He's a judge? Wow! Hard to believe that man can make judgment that effects people's lives. Holy smokes man

[debbiemyres]

They don't want to fix it and they will fight it all the way to hell and back.

[GeoffNelson]

Oh it's time for a "dialogue"! That should fix things.

[theinspector]

The so called judge plays stupidity by answering "Pardon me?" "Why wasn't it fix?" ..
making time to come up with another stupid answer.

[WushuKnight]

They LITERALLY opened the gate for them last year. They didn't want it to be fixed.

[frankiealbritton]

I love how they play stupid when you ask a legitimate question it's like they just showed up or something... God bless us...

[sonnypruitt]

Just look at the judge's face! You can see that he hittin' on all cylinders! Put him and Bidden together, and you have a halfwit!!!

[peanut]

They didn’t fix it because the don’t want it fixed!

[michelemarie]

Let's starting putting a NAME TAG on The EMPTY SEATS!

Pass a law that says if the government fails to do their duty that the individuals working for the government have to bare all accountability of that failure. Let the folks that want to work for the gov stand on their own and be accountable for the job they do like the rest of us.

MONEY FIRST BEFORE FIX IT 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Jim Jordan needs to ask this on every point, that should be the question for everything. You had control, and more than enough votes.

[DP-zmbd]

This judge and all Dems are complete maroons!

[originalgangsta]

Jim Jordan needs to call bullshit out just like this

[jimmymccormick]

God bless you Jim love and appreciate what you do

[Uvotedthis]

Since they claim there is no problems. We can now stop all the funding of that whole department and wasted it somewhere else. You're FIRED!

[keaka]

The guy just admitted-control the flow. This is not going anywhere when you have people like this. It is like someone at the door of your house - saying come on come all, don't worry about the homeowner, they will house and feed you

[jeffreyholloway]

How about until it’s fixed let’s close border period. 30 plus million since 1990 is enough already. We can’t support the world and ourselves too.

I noticed throughout all the questions the judge never took the 5th!
