House Speaker Mike Johnson, leading a GOP delegation to the southern border on Wednesday, slammed what he said is a “truly unconscionable” migrant crisis at the southern border and blamed it on President Biden’s policies — as encounter numbers hit record levels and talks over supplemental funding have so far failed to produce an agreement.
Johnson led more than 60 Republicans to the southern border to assess the ongoing crisis, where migrant encounters hit a record 302,000 last month.
“One thing is absolutely clear: America is at breaking point with record levels of illegal immigration,” he said in a press conference.
