“He’s trying to desperately show the American people somehow that he wants to address the issue that he himself created,” the House Speaker said.
Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” the Louisiana Republican said of Biden: “He’s trying to desperately show the American people somehow that he wants to address the issue that he himself created.” Speaking to host Shannon Bream, Johnson said Sunday of the president: “The only reason he’s doing that is because the polls say that it’s the biggest issue in America. Every state’s a border state,” offering a phrase that has been widely used by Republicans on the 2024 campaign trail.
Johnson was formerly an advocate for the president to issue executive orders to curb immigration, saying that existing laws gave Biden the authority to do so.
