Speaker Johnson warns Americans about Biden’s ‘election year gimmicks’ and plan to use the border crisis for politics

Chairman Mike Johnson is refusing to allow President Joe Biden to use the border crisis to score political points.

For many years, the Biden administration
claimed Borders are “secure”; was denied There is a crisis. Then, as lawmakers crafted a bill that would give Ukraine more than $60 billion and just $20 billion for the border crisis, Biden blamed the crisis on Republicans and claimed he was tied.

Biden: “We did everything we could”
claimed Republican lawmakers cried out that Biden was refusing to use existing statutory powers to alleviate the immigration crisis.

But new reports this week suggest that Mr. Biden is considering using executive authority to stop the crisis, undermining his earlier assertion that there was nothing he could do. Currently under consideration is a current law that uses portions of the Immigration and Nationality Act to deport immigrants, making it more difficult for immigrants to pass asylum screening and deporting immigrants who fail enhanced screening. It is a policy that allows the government to expedite deportations. process.

In a statement, Johnson highlighted how Biden is using potential short-term solutions to score political points.

Johnson noted that Biden has so far ignored all calls to use executive power to ease the border crisis. Said:

In an election year, tens of thousands of Americans have tragically lost their lives to fentanyl poisoning and countless unaccompanied minors and young people have been trafficked after the president surrendered the border to cartels and smugglers. After millions of illegal aliens were scattered across our country by the Biden administration, the president is suddenly using legal powers he claimed did not exist until recently to make changes. It seems that he is interested in doing so.

Americans have lost faith in this president and will not be fooled by election year tricks that don’t actually secure our borders. We will also remember that the president created this disaster and has so far refused to use presidential authority to resolve it.

Johnson said Biden’s plan reveals “how President Biden brazenly and intentionally misled the public when he claimed he was doing everything in his power to secure our border.”

“Specifically, the president’s desire to invoke Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which the White House has refused to use for months, is particularly telling,” Johnson added.

Biden’s current search for solutions to score political points is not just a Republican topic.

Axios reported this week Biden is considering issuing an executive order about two weeks before his State of the Union address. Biden would then be able to tell the American people:According to Axios, “He took action while Republicans were just talking.”
