During Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) derided the Biden administration for its lackluster handling of border security at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Johnson accused the Biden administration of rolling out the welcome mat for illegal immigrants by abandoning the policies of President Joe Biden’s predecessor, former President Donald Trump.
“The argument is that there’s only so much a president can do,” CNN host Jake Tapper said. “Even Donald Trump could not seal the border. Even when the remain-in-Mexico policy was in place in 2019, there was still a migrant crisis. There was still a crisis at the border. You might remember all those TV ads that Donald Trump ran in 2018 about the caravan heading into the United States. A lot of people say, this needs to be solved by Congress. You’re the guys that write the laws. You’re the ones in charge of asylum. And, yes, President Trump or President Biden could do X, Y, or Z, but it’s really up to Congress.”

Okay Mike, start with the impeachments.
“””House Speaker Johnson on the Border: ‘It Would Make the Average American Citizen Cry to See What’s Happening Here’”””
Mike Johnson needs to issue this ultimatum to Biden:
Shut down the border or the House is going to shut down the government.
No more crying Mike.
I cry when I see the Republican house do nothing about holding up government funding until the border is secure.
We have been dumbass. For years. More so the past 3. Typical clueless “official”. Any mention of the eco damage being done?
Beltway points of observation remain unaffected. The echo chamber remains soothing, the smoke and mirrors continue to produce views that counter any misinformation, and the media -press continue their support in safeguarding our democracy.
House Speaker Johnson on the Border: ‘It Would Make the Average American Citizen Cry to See What’s Happening Here’ when they see how much Bribe Money we are being shortchanged by the CIA/Cartels.
I saw how bad it was when I was still living in Texas... From what I hear from friends still there, it’s orders of magnitude WORSE.
Where is AOC and her fake tears?
Just what is ‘the AVerage American Citizen’?
Is that anything like when the MSM, or politicians talk about ‘The American ... citizen, population, ... or whatever’?
So I ask, what is ‘the Median American Citizen’?
And ‘average’ based on what?
Age, Color, Salary, Physical Location, Chlosteral Level, Gender (EEK), Number of toes on each foot?
Serious Questions for Johnson!
OOPS I forgot IQ
The Democrats and the media fought Trump for three years; it was only in his last year that he could tell the wall-builders to move out.
so never ever think about making these Criminal Illegals citizens so they can go on Welfare
No more crying Mike - NO ‘comprehensive crap’ that allows democrats to get amnesty and us to get nothing - don’t believe their lies.
The American people are sick of Biden and his goons bringing in terrorists, foreign soldiers, and new ‘voters’ who are NOT legal voters.
‘It Would Make the Average American Citizen Cry to See What’s Happening Here’“
Which is why MSM buries it.
I cry because our GOP controlled Congress has done nothing to stop this. Shut the damn government down!
Agreed, no more talk!
I have actually been pleasantly surprised at all the musing out loud about how badly this could potentially hurt Biden. Articles from the msm throw in a few obligatory anti Trump sentences of course but they clearly understand better than almost anyone else, maybe even the White House, exactly what they are up against this year.
Dear Mr. Speaker:
We the taxpayers are fed up with our money being spent on people that do not belong here. Not to mention all the other worthless crap our money is squandered on.
We want our money back!
Then, Johnson needs to do whatever necessary to secure the border. Talk and empty promise aren’t good enough anymore.
