In a bold and assertive move, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has outlined the Republican Conference’s agenda in fighting Joe Biden’s illegal immigration crisis on the U.S. southern border. Taking a strong stance against the administration’s subversive policies, Johnson has announced that the House Homeland Security Committee will move forward with Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as soon as next week. This decisive action aims to address the pressing issues at the border and hold the administration accountable for their actions.
The crisis at the U.S. southern border has reached unprecedented levels under the Biden administration. Johnson highlights that the House will reject any watered-down border bill from the Senate that fails to address the gravity of the situation. He asserts that immediate action is required to secure the border and protect national sovereignty. The House’s Secure the Border Act (H.R. 2), introduced nine months ago, contains transformative provisions that can effectively address the crisis. These include implementing the “Remain in Mexico” policy, ending “Catch and Release,” reforming the broken asylum and parole systems, and continuing the construction of a border wall.
Johnson emphasizes that the Biden administration has willfully ignored and actively undermined the nation’s immigration laws. He cites specific actions taken by the administration, which have effectively opened the border and caused the current chaos. The House Speaker’s office has documented at least 64 actions that have contributed to the crisis. Johnson criticizes Biden for attempting to shift the blame onto Congress, stating that it was the administration’s intentional actions that created this dire situation.
“Rather than accept accountability, President Biden is now trying to blame Congress for what HE himself intentionally created.” – House Speaker Mike Johnson
The decision to move forward with Articles of Impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas demonstrates the House Republicans’ commitment to holding the administration accountable for their role in the border crisis. Johnson asserts that the House Homeland Security Committee will take the lead in this process, with a House floor vote expected to follow soon after. This dramatic step highlights the urgency and seriousness of the situation, demanding immediate action from the administration to secure the border and protect American citizens.
“If President Biden wants us to believe he is serious about protecting our national sovereignty, he needs to demonstrate his good faith by taking immediate actions to secure it.” – House Speaker Mike Johnson
House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, have been steadfast in their efforts to address the illegal immigration crisis. They have repeatedly shared information with Biden, highlighting the record encounters with illegal immigrants, the alarming number of deaths from fentanyl poisoning, human trafficking, and the burden placed on states and communities due to the administration’s policies. The House Republicans stand in solidarity with Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s heroic efforts to protect the citizens of his state and all Americans.
The House Republicans firmly oppose any policy proposal from the White House or Senate that would further incentivize illegal aliens to break the law. They stress the need to prioritize the protection of national borders and uphold the rule of law. Speaker Johnson calls on Biden to immediately sign an order to end the mass release of illegal immigrants and dangerous individuals into the country. This decisive action would demonstrate the administration’s commitment to addressing the crisis and would be viewed as a sign of good faith in negotiation.
“If he wants our conference to view him as a good faith negotiator, he can start with the stroke of a pen.” – House Speaker Mike Johnson
House Republicans are resolute in their commitment to securing the border and preserving national sovereignty. They emphasize the importance of unity in this crucial battle. The House Speaker expresses gratitude to all those who stand together in addressing the border crisis and protecting American citizens. The fight against illegal immigration requires a collective effort and unwavering dedication to the principles that define the United States.
