On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Morning in America,” White House National Security Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that American cities aren’t feeling the impact of the border policies the White House says it’s working on because there are “a lot of policies here by some governors around that southern border, sending these people north in quite an inhumane fashion.”

“Kirby is a complete piece of #&$_”
That he is.
Because of Inhumane illegal immigration.
That’s putting it mildly. What a jerk.
Stop, I need to go to the bathroom! Oh lord!!
The stupid is strong, like the Hulk.
Peach
Kirby sucks dead ***** ****.
POS SPJNK.
I wish we had likes. I’d most definitely like your comment.
“Because of Inhumane Busing”
.
Inhumane?
It was not inhumane when little bammy did it.
Buses, trains, airliners, you name it.
little bammy was packing them in and flying around the country in the middle of the night.
Perfectly. OK.
Totally invisible to the progtards.
.
They are supposed to stay in Texas dammit!
We don’t need NY or IL to turn libtard, they are already there.
All those illegals were supposed to remain in red states.
“It was not inhumane when little bammy did it.”
That’s because he’s a Hussein and we are supposed to be terrified of Muslims.
LOL, Kirby! Yeah the “bussing” is inhumane!!! Sure.
The Biden Administration is so full of itself.
Kirby lies
they are new cushy buses
well fed
given more cash than those who lost their homes in Hawaii
You just did better anyhow. :)
Most don’t care about how inhumane having the border open really is.
Maybe the NEW Speaker should subpoena his stupid ass and have him testify before Congress, then JAIL him just for being an asshole.
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
You dumb ass...it’s a problem because you let them into this country in the first place. Build the wall and top it with sniper towers.
The media sells it, the public buys it.
