The Secretary of Justice and the Secretary of Homeland Security follow Biden's policies and as such are actively working against the law. The Federal employees and officers under these Secretaries are actively working to bring people into the country illegally and countering the efforts of state officers and officials.

They won’t do anything if Trump is re-elected. They didn’t even touch the issue when they had both the House and Senate for 5he first two years of Trump’s presidency.
@GotoHere And there are processes in place that need to be addressed. PART of that is making sure that people truly in need of asylum have their cases adjudicated quickly. The GOP doesn't want to fix that part, because it is the source of most of the problems. There wouldn't be near as many people breaking the law by crissing illegally if there were improvements made on legal immigration, so that people who are willing to come here and work in crappy jobs, have a way to do so thru legal means (without the ridiculously low caps set by Trump, and on getting asylum cases heard quickly. But Republicons don't WANT it fixed. If they keep it broken, and unable to keep up with caseload, the government has no choice but to release many on their own until court. That then creates the scenes of large numbers of migrants on the streets of border towns that they can use against Democrats every 2 years before federal elections. The ONLY way this gets fixed is when there is a Democrat in the WH, as Speaker of the House, and as Senate Majority Leader with at least 60 Dems to prevent the MAGA pols from blocking it.

Wherever Republicans are in office they do nothing and when a Democrat is in office they complain that nothing is being done even though they are the ones that should be passing the laws to take care of this problem. They just went there to “act” as if by going there they did something. 🤦🏽
They also want to cut free elections. It will not happen in one step, but they are actively trying to disenfranchise anyone who voted for democrats while filling the courts and the department of justice with people who will allow them to rig elections. Johnson is one of the masterminds of an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election through the courts.
so do you mean the tax cuts that GE enjoys? What about Microsoft? How about Blackrock? What social safety net are you speaking of? Or are you talking out your ass? Please explain.
Not funding Ukraine in their war with Russia greatly increases the likelihood of a protracted war involving US Troops. It would be best if Mike Johnson put it up for a vote so this could end in an expedited manner. Pleasing Putin is all Mike Johnson is concerned about.
This is how truly freaking uneducated you are. The longer the war in Russia goes on with Ukraine the more likely the United States is to get involved in the hot war with Russia, which would mean the death of millions of people in Russia and the United States. Before you say something, you know nothing about please educate yourself .😂😂😂😂😂
Mike Johnson believes that Dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark… not an intellectual. He is using the same Two Decade Wedge Issue; even when the Republicans had a Majority in the House & Senate; why didn’t they Reform Immigration then? Realize; that the Republicans don’t have any positive policies or Legislation that is or was beneficial to the over 88% of the American Working Middle Class, the American Working Underprivileged Class, to our Communities, to our Environment, to our Nation. Each Republican Administration with Reagan throughout Drumpf has extreme to excessive incurred Debt; causing Inflation or a Recession. Drumpf continued to facilitate the failed Reagan Policy of Trickle Down Economics; which in Reagan’s day was the beginning of the downturn of the American Working Middle Class. Who do you think lived as the Original Inhabitants of North America? The Original Inhabitants were Native Americans and Mexicans… not White Christian Nationalists. We need immigrants; they are essential for Jobs ; that Americans will never work. White People are all immigrants to the North American Continent. Did you miss out on factual Education? Of course you did; Republicans purposely and successfully underfunded Public Education: since 1980-present day(especially in Red States) in order to dumb down the Constituents; to have uneducated persons Vote against their own interests. Factual statistics reveal that persons who have only Graduated High School(1980-present day) have the intelligence and comprehension equivalent to a 7th-8th Grade Elementary School Education. Not exactly a mature mind with logical or critical reasoning and thinking abilities. Also; Mike Johnson has never been in Politics or has been a Public Servant. He has discriminatory beliefs and behaviors; says he is a Christian but doesn’t believe in the Golden Rule. He wants Government to have Religious Indoctrination; his Religion; the way he Reads Scripture… unfortunately; if the Lord was alive today he would be considered an Immigrant and not allowed Legally in our Nation. We have the Separation between the Church and State for a reason… also he was the largest supporter of the 2020!Election Denial … he is a Traitor to the United States(Evil Incarnate)

Last year, Sheriffs from Border towns came together and sent and signed a 16 point 'needs' list to Republicans in Congress. They never received response and, of course, no action. The same Republican Congress that only put 22 pieces of legislation into law for the entire year, and a few of those bills were for things like a commemorative coin, renaming a building/post office. (They are the 2nd least effective Congress ever, only to be surpassed in by the 1932 Congress who only met/worked for 3 months and passed 21 pieces of legislation during those 3 months). Clearly, they don't want to work let alone get serious to fix any problem. Mike Johnson and the rest of the clown caucus are gaslighting for photo ops and campaign talking points.
As someone who lives in South Texas, and has been to El Paso, Brownsville, Laredo, and McAllen many times for business, I don't see why politicians think it's impressive or important to "visit the border." It's just for personal visibility, but doesn't address the issues surrounding it or those issues driving the emigration from Latin America in the first place. If they wanted to help the issue, rather than badger about it, as they have done my entire adult life, they would actually produce policy and legislation related to reforming the immigration process and the immigration system, as it is currently broken. But that is difficult, and then you can't cry about it as an issue every 4 years. Ironically, actually addressing the issue is not in any politician's interest.
If you reform immigration policy (which he squarely said, "now isn't the time to reform immigration policy"), then he wouldn't have had 11+ minutes of fearmongering talking points and thus, fundraising for the American ISIS party in an election year. If you constantly parrot how important it is to keep non-Europeans from crossing the border and obstruct any policy that isn't a guaranteed pass between the legislative and executive body (without being overturned by the judiciary), then the conservative Trump Chicken Heads have infinite time to regurgitate exaggerated pro non-European policies.
One thing I have noticed about the MAGA politicians is: it's all about blaming and photo op! And not about real work. Kind of like a used car salesman.

@OP-yl2hm No, no, no that’s not what republicans want, they’ve refused for years and they won’t do a comprehensive immigration bill because republicans don’t want to fix the problem they just want to use it at convenient times to try and scare people
174,000.00.per year for the past 16 years. They have done not a damned thing but obstruct, take away family planning rights and vote to remove medical Insurance for millions Americans. 2 million 7 hundred, 84 thousand dollars was paid to these lazy people on the right side of isles during this period of time..
"I don't think now is the time to do comprehensive immigration reform, because, to your point, it's very complicated" Of course now's not the time Mike, because you fear it would reveal that Biden is willing to accept way more compromises than what you're letting show. So instead you're refusing to negotiate anything and leaving the situation to get gradually worse. Because the worse it is, the better the theatre is... Couldn't be more transparent than this quote.
@@elizabethstanley7137 Imagine thinking a president isn't being briefed on the border every day during the presidential briefing. If the US president doesn't see something with his own 2 eyes I guess it isn't happening?
Hiring more border patrol agents would definitely help that issue. Johnson isn't interested in helping the border patrol, he is looking for talking points for the 2024 election.
@@Musicsports The problem isn't to hire more border patrol agents to process more people. The problem is the amount of people getting into the country.

The GOP doesn’t want to fix any problem. They want to create crises in the USA so they can argue that they need to seize control over the department of justice and the courts to effectively end free elections in the USA. Mike Johnson is an enemy of American Democracy and the Constitution.
*Biden. They said all he wants is more money to hire more people to process and admit more migrants and technology to detect Fetanyl. That would not fix the issue.
no, they've been pushing for mass immigration themselves because they don't care about the country or its principles, they only care about "owning the libs" using even false pretenses and crisis' they've created. the whole "crisis actor" claim they came up with re: mass shootings? that never even was a thing for those gun violence victims, and who came up with it? the same people who are doing exactly that now. every accusation is a confession for them it seems. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we've got GOP lawmakers taking a cut of what the coyotes make for smuggling them in, for both the border talking point to try and seize back their party's power, to earn a few dollars "under the table" in their own pockets, and to offer these migrants up to their donor-owners for slave labor wages. it's a win-win-win-win-win for them
Johnson: We'll sit around and watch the problem unfold but if you expect us to do anything about it we'll be happy to sit around and listen to you and still do nothing. Look at all the "Stuff" ,we did last year, including nothing. It's all on record.
When covid ended the court said Bidden could not keep the tight restrictions. It's Congress job to fix the problem. Forget the it's complicated and do your jobs!
You know what, Mike? If you can get the red team to sit down and develop some legislation and actually have the wits and skill to pass it into law, that will help. That is what Biden encourages you to do. We do not have the legal framework, and unlike Trump, Biden is not a dictator.
"Catch and release" is actually 'process and release with a pending court appearance.' Don't let them dehumanize immigrants and refugees into something akin to a fish.
This is why I don't understand why republicans keep using the term "catch and release", border patrol agents are just following the asylum laws. You show up at the border and claim asylum, your claims are process and schedule your case and release.
They have to deflect from the Amazing job Bidenomics is doing.. they could come bipartisan and get this resolved.. The American ECONOMY IS BETTER THAN ITS BEEN SINCE MOST OF US HAVE BEEN ALIVE!!!
The new officers, under current Presidential policies, would be responsible for funneling more illegals to the new processing employees. That would make the problem worse. Biden needs to change his policies which he refuses to do. Federal law puts protection of the country and its borders in the hands of the President and appointed cabinet. Congress is responsible for making laws that these official must work within. The Secretary of Justice and the Secretary of Homeland Security follow Biden's policies and as such are actively working against the law. The Federal employees and officers under these Secretaries are actively working to bring people into the country illegally and countering the efforts of state officers and officials.
It is not the White House's responsibility to legislate immigration. It is the legislative branch's responsibility to draft policies, which neither party will dare do because of their benefactors.
Partially correct. The Dems have drafted legislation for this and MAGA/GOP refuse to even read it because they have NO INTEREST in solving the problem. It's the only topic they feel they can run on. That and racism. They have nothing else.
God forbid hard working Americans get to keep more of their hard earned $. Look at the #s…Biden has increased National Debt at a far greater pace than Trump and that’s with a big portions of Trumps being COVID funding which both parties voted for. I’m not for any increase in National Debt just so there is no confusion.

Exactly. Now is not the time to do anything productive, in Republican eyes. It never is. Not even when they are in control. It is costing American citizens billions of dollars while Republicans dawdle and dither so they can keep whining.
Because the funding won't make a difference. They said Biden wants money for more Border agents so they can process and admit more migrants and also technology to track Fetanyl. That would not fix the issue.
Then why did the Democrats not make impactful changes in 2021/2022? They had the House, the Senate and the President. Quick to dissolve the borders but zero meaningful results for gun control, and I am hugely in favour of gun control. Please answer.

They would prefer to put a bandaid on it instead of putting in some work. It Gives them something to complain about.
Wherever Republicans are in office they do nothing and when a Democrat is in office they complain that nothing is being done even though they are the ones that should be passing the laws to take care of this problem. They just went there to “act” as if by going there they did something. 🤦🏽
They won't fix anything because it's more useful as a talking point.
Soon as they get in power , cut tax for wealthy , cut social safety net , Sweep this under the rug .
The GOP are the ones who GIVE the wealthy tax cuts, not the Dems.
They also want to cut free elections. It will not happen in one step, but they are actively trying to disenfranchise anyone who voted for democrats while filling the courts and the department of justice with people who will allow them to rig elections. Johnson is one of the masterminds of an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election through the courts.
so do you mean the tax cuts that GE enjoys? What about Microsoft? How about Blackrock? What social safety net are you speaking of? Or are you talking out your ass? Please explain.
Yep, that's what they do every 2 years, every single election! 💯
Not funding Ukraine in their war with Russia greatly increases the likelihood of a protracted war involving US Troops. It would be best if Mike Johnson put it up for a vote so this could end in an expedited manner. Pleasing Putin is all Mike Johnson is concerned about.

The longer the war in Russia goes on with Ukraine the more likely the United States is to get involved in the hot war with Russia, which would mean the death of millions of people in Russia and the United States. Before you say something, you know nothing about please educate yourself .😂😂😂😂😂
Kudos to Speaker Johnson!👍👏🏽
Mike Johnson believes that Dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark… not an intellectual. He is using the same Two Decade Wedge Issue; even when the Republicans had a Majority in the House & Senate; why didn’t they Reform Immigration then? Realize; that the Republicans don’t have any positive policies or Legislation that is or was beneficial to the over 88% of the American Working Middle Class, the American Working Underprivileged Class, to our Communities, to our Environment, to our Nation. Each Republican Administration with Reagan throughout Drumpf has extreme to excessive incurred Debt; causing Inflation or a Recession. Drumpf continued to facilitate the failed Reagan Policy of Trickle Down Economics; which in Reagan’s day was the beginning of the downturn of the American Working Middle Class. Who do you think lived as the Original Inhabitants of North America? The Original Inhabitants were Native Americans and Mexicans… not White Christian Nationalists. We need immigrants; they are essential for Jobs ; that Americans will never work. White People are all immigrants to the North American Continent. Did you miss out on factual Education? Of course you did; Republicans purposely and successfully underfunded Public Education: since 1980-present day(especially in Red States) in order to dumb down the Constituents; to have uneducated persons Vote against their own interests. Factual statistics reveal that persons who have only Graduated High School(1980-present day) have the intelligence and comprehension equivalent to a 7th-8th Grade Elementary School Education. Not exactly a mature mind with logical or critical reasoning and thinking abilities. Also; Mike Johnson has never been in Politics or has been a Public Servant. He has discriminatory beliefs and behaviors; says he is a Christian but doesn’t believe in the Golden Rule. He wants Government to have Religious Indoctrination; his Religion; the way he Reads Scripture… unfortunately; if the Lord was alive today he would be considered an Immigrant and not allowed Legally in our Nation. We have the Separation between the Church and State for a reason… also he was the largest supporter of the 2020!Election Denial … he is a Traitor to the United States(Evil Incarnate)

A Christian here, and he ain’t one. Christian Nationalist, absolutely. But not a follower of Jesus. The New Testament after the 4 Gospels have plenty of warnings about hypocrites like him. It’s an old game, playing on people’s worst instincts, relabeling evil as good. Sadly works too well on many.
Last year, Sheriffs from Border towns came together and sent and signed a 16 point 'needs' list to Republicans in Congress. They never received response and, of course, no action. The same Republican Congress that only put 22 pieces of legislation into law for the entire year, and a few of those bills were for things like a commemorative coin, renaming a building/post office. (They are the 2nd least effective Congress ever, only to be surpassed in by the 1932 Congress who only met/worked for 3 months and passed 21 pieces of legislation during those 3 months). Clearly, they don't want to work let alone get serious to fix any problem. Mike Johnson and the rest of the clown caucus are gaslighting for photo ops and campaign talking points.
As someone who lives in South Texas, and has been to El Paso, Brownsville, Laredo, and McAllen many times for business, I don't see why politicians think it's impressive or important to "visit the border." It's just for personal visibility, but doesn't address the issues surrounding it or those issues driving the emigration from Latin America in the first place.
If they wanted to help the issue, rather than badger about it, as they have done my entire adult life, they would actually produce policy and legislation related to reforming the immigration process and the immigration system, as it is currently broken. But that is difficult, and then you can't cry about it as an issue every 4 years. Ironically, actually addressing the issue is not in any politician's interest.
If you reform immigration policy (which he squarely said, "now isn't the time to reform immigration policy"), then he wouldn't have had 11+ minutes of fearmongering talking points and thus, fundraising for the American ISIS party in an election year. If you constantly parrot how important it is to keep non-Europeans from crossing the border and obstruct any policy that isn't a guaranteed pass between the legislative and executive body (without being overturned by the judiciary), then the conservative Trump Chicken Heads have infinite time to regurgitate exaggerated pro non-European policies.
One thing I have noticed about the MAGA politicians is: it's all about blaming and photo op! And not about real work. Kind of like a used car salesman.
Exactly thank you

The new officers, under current Presidential policies, would be responsible for funneling more illegals to the new processing employees. That would make the problem worse. Biden needs to change his policies which he refuses to do.
Federal law puts protection of the country and its borders in the hands of the President and appointed cabinet. Congress is responsible for making laws that these official must work within. The Secretary of Justice and the Secretary of Homeland Security follow Biden's policies and as such are actively working against the law. The Federal employees and officers under these Secretaries are actively working to bring people into the country illegally and countering the efforts of state officers and officials.
All the Republicans won't is to talk about the problem they do not have a fix all I want to do is complain and campaign off of it
It is not the White House's responsibility to legislate immigration. It is the legislative branch's responsibility to draft policies, which neither party will dare do because of their benefactors.
Partially correct. The Dems have drafted legislation for this and MAGA/GOP refuse to even read it because they have NO INTEREST in solving the problem. It's the only topic they feel they can run on. That and racism. They have nothing else.

It is costing American citizens billions of dollars while Republicans dawdle and dither so they can keep whining.
It is because Republicans want to create a crisis at the border for an excuse to pass radical anti-democratic policies that are unconstitutional.
Because the funding won't make a difference. They said Biden wants money for more Border agents so they can process and admit more migrants and also technology to track Fetanyl. That would not fix the issue.
