“We have enacted common-sense laws to protect our borders, but they remain unaddressed. [Sen.] “I was on Chuck Schumer's desk for seven months,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said at a news conference along the banks of the Rio Grande in Texas.
More than 60 Republicans were scheduled to attend the news conference to tout House Republican amendments to President Joe Biden's immigration relief economic policies.
That House amendment — HR2 bill — Republican senators stand aside as they negotiate with Democratic senators over a spending package that includes $50 billion for Ukraine and about $14 billion to accelerate and conceal Biden's migration through the 2024 campaign. It's dark.
Mr. Johnson said:
We are very clear and have been clear about that for seven months. HR 2 is an essential ingredient. why? As there are provisions to amend each of these; [Biden migration] Problems and these things work together.
For example, we can't just reform our broken asylum process and leave our parole system broken. That would be a huge loophole that would not solve the problem.
We can't just build a wall without ending catch-and-release and restoring Remain in Mexico…
We know what works, but it's not rocket science. That's why we said we are determined to: [establish] those provisions. That's what it takes to solve the problem.
Johnson's comments came shortly after the comprehensive and vetted House bill was defeated by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “I think asylum reform, parole restrictions, and re-invoking Title 42 are enough to pass the House,” Graham said. Said “Face the Nation” on December 31st.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) also dismiss “If the House insists on HR2 as the only solution…there will be no consensus,” the bill said.
Mr. Johnson will have to deal with Republican senators and Democrats, but he will also have to manage the establishment Republican wing of his pro-immigration caucus with the backing of business. Since he only has a majority in the House of Representatives, he cannot pass legislation without support from business-backed groups.
Well-funded and media-backed pro-immigration caucuses hope Biden will bring an influx of millions of additional low-wage workers, apartment-share renters, and government-funded consumers. quietly aspires to support border stopgap measures that cannot stop them. . For example, in 2023, Biden's policies imported approximately 5 million legal, illegal, and semi-legal immigrants. This huge inflow represents a huge profit for investors. more babies than Americans have In 2023.
Establishment members of the Republican Party organized a televised news conference, but some populist-leaning Republicans, such as Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), opted not to participate.
The establishment-backed event included several members of Congress seeking to shift Republican focus from Biden's border policies to the somewhat related issue of cartels taxing and coaxing migrants to approach the U.S. border. .
“We have to target the cartels,” said Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas).
“No one wins in this crisis… except the cartels,” said Rep. Juan Siscomani (R-Texas).
“The root of the problem is the cartels,” said Rep. Tony Gonzalez, a pro-immigration lawmaker who organized the event, likely with support from pro-immigration groups. “Cartels turn cartels on, cartels turn them off…It's long past time we classified cartels as terrorist organizations,” said Nicki, who is running for the 2024 Republican nomination. said Gonzalez, a friend of Haley's.
Gonzalez also hinted at a compromise between Republicans and Biden before the 2024 election, saying:
I believe now is the time to make sure America is safe. And we achieved that by receiving a down payment on border security in 2019 with this team, and the rest will come back again. [when] We will take back the White House in 2025.
He also asked for a compromise during the negotiations Appearing on January 2nd On CNN:
If the Senate can reach 60 in a meaningful way, I think it will send a strong message that the House cannot simply stand aside. But let me be clear: We need meaningful border solutions. Fraudulent accounting is impossible.
…
I talk to Chairman Johnson about this topic literally every week. That was the first conversation we had when he was running for speaker. And, you know, he shows up at the border at the beginning, and the first journey he takes is very important. And I think this shows that House Republicans are committed to a sensible border policy.
“You have to do nothing.” [legislators] Get out of the way to address the problem,” he added.
Mr. Gonzalez has raised large amounts of campaign funds to win the 2024 primary. Brandon Herrera and Medina County Republican Chairman julie clarke.
But Republican leaders were adamant about Johnson's focus on HR2.
“The solution is ours.” [H.R.2] ” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. he added:
I think the solution is simply one sentence. [in 2024 funding legisaltion]: “Funds cannot be used to process or release new immigrants domestically.” …That line should be included in the bill that must be passed…
Ultimately, I think it comes down to the intentions of the Republicans in the U.S. Congress. We are going to enforce that judgment, that solution into law to make this happen. That should be our responsibility. If not, you will have to wait. We need to wait for the presidential election and hope that President Trump is the next president.
What is the difference between HR2 that passed the House and the “compromise” bill that passed the Senate?
