Speaker Mike Johnson slams Joe Biden's proposed immigration crackdown after 7.2MILLION illegal migrants entered as an 'election year gimmick' after demanding executive action at the border for MONTHS
Daily MailHouse Speaker Mike Johnson is ripping into President Joe Biden for finally floating executive action to crack down on illegal immigration after millions of migrants flooded into the U.S. since he took office. President Joe Biden said he has done everything he can to fix the border crisis, but now the White House is mulling a Trump-like executive action to crack down in migration 'Americans have lost faith in this President and won't be fooled by election year gimmicks that don't actually secure the border,' Speaker Mike Johnson wrote in a statement obtained by DailyMail.com. After taking office on 2021, President Biden immediately canceled various Trump-era border initiatives, including the 'Remain in Mexico' policy that required migrants claiming asylum to stay in Mexico until their hearing court date in the U.S. Biden also stopped construction of the U.S.-Mexico border within days of taking office. Speaker Mike Johnson slammed Biden for saying he needed Republicans to fix the border Over 300,000 migrants illegally crossed into the U.S. during December 2023, a record Rep. Jared Golden, a moderate Democrat, has advocated for the return of 'Remain in Mexico' But House Republican Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., said letting migrants into the country illegally is exactly what Biden wants.
