Speaker Johnson Dismisses White House Promise of New Border Curbs



by NEIL MUNRO 22 Feb 2024

President Joe Biden should restore the “Remain in Mexico” border barrier if he wants his 2024 border promises to be taken seriously, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in response to media claims that Biden will curb asylum migration.

“If these reports are true and the President intends to take action, he can show he’s serious by changing more than asylum policy,” Johnson said in a Thursday tweet, adding, “He should begin by reinstating the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy and by ending his administration’s abuse of the parole system, along with other critical reforms.”

Johnson, who understands immigration and backs the House’s H.R. 2 reform plan, added:

Americans have lost faith in this President and won’t be fooled by election-year gimmicks that don’t actually secure the border. Nor will they forget that the President created this catastrophe and, until now, has refused to use his executive power to fix it.

My statement regarding President Biden finally admitting he has the authority to address the border catastrophe he has created:



12:54 PM · Feb 22, 2024

Since January 2021, Biden and his deputies have admitted roughly seven million illegal migrants, or roughly two migrants for every three U.S. births. That wealth-shifting wave of foreigners is deeply unpopular, prompting a campaign trail P R switch by Biden’s 2024 managers.

Biden’s migration began when he restored catch-and-release policies by ending the “Remain in Mexico” program. The program was launched by President Donald Trump, and it blocked job-seeking migration by denying asylum-seeking migrants the jobs that they need to pay their high-interest smuggling loans.

Biden’s deputies also created the parole pathway in 2023 to import yet more migrants. Since then, more than one million migrants have been invited to seek wages that would otherwise go to American families or to productivity-boosting workplace upgrades.

The leaked claims of a policy change by Biden are being repeated credulously by establishment media. The gullible media reports do not recognize that the ailing Biden may not have the bureaucratic power — or even any willing deputies — that he needs to make his pro-migration allies and deputies enforce significant border curbs

Democrats are already using the Senate GOP’s instant rejection of the giveaway border bill secretly drafted by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to blame the GOP for Biden’s unpopular policies.

“Republicans …. can make this [bill] happen. If they don’t, this will be a wedge issue, a forceful issue against them this November as well,” New York Governor Kathy Hochul claimed on February 20. “I’m putting them on notice: You broke it, you now own it.”

Meanwhile, the media dismisses growing evidence of migration’s economic damage to blue-collar and white-collar Americans.

WHAT HAPPEN TO JOE IMPEACHED PAPER IS IT UNDER THE WH RUG ? HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVE THE FIRST DAY - HE NO GOOD - WAKE UP EVERY ONE
