Speaker Mike Johnson made an impromptu border visit hours after the House passed a resolution condemning Vice President Kamala Harris' handling of the migrant crisis.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., made an impromptu trip to the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday. It came hours after six Democrats joined all House Republicans to pass a resolution condemning Vice President Kamala Harris’ handling of the migrant crisis as the Biden administration’s border czar. 'We've had a very interesting tour here at the San Diego sector. This has become, in many ways, the epicenter of the Biden-Harris border catastrophe,' Johnson said.
Throughout the roughly 20-minute press conference, Johnson referred to the crisis at the southern border as the work of the 'Biden-Harris administration' in an apparent bid to tie the longstanding issue to the vice president, who recently took over for Biden as the Democrats’ presumptive 2024 nominee. He also touted the House’s recently passed Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act , which would add a proof-of-citizenship requirement to the voter registration process.
If someone goes to the local office to sign up for public benefits, they're also handed a short form that says, ‘Do you want to register to vote?’ All you have to do to participate in the elections is check a little box and say, ‘I'm a U.S. citizen, and yes, register me to vote.’ There's no proof required, and we think that's outrageous,' Johnson said.
