House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday held a press conference from the US-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas to highlight Biden’s border invasion.
More than 300,000 illegal aliens crossed over the US border on Biden’s open border invitation in December, according to Customs and Border Protection.
Speaker Johnson and nearly 60 House Republicans traveled to Eagle Pass to announce they are ready to shut down the government if the border isn’t closed.
Congressmen Gaetz, Biggs, Good, Crane, and others joined Speaker Johnson.
The border crisis is a direct result of President Biden’s failed policies. House Republicans are getting a first-hand look at the chaos and destruction.
