House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) stated the bipartisan Senate border security bill will be “dead on arrival” if it reaches the House of Representatives, saying on X, “I’ve seen enough. This bill is even worse than we expected, and won’t come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created. As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, ‘the border never closes.’ If this bill reaches the House, it will be dead on arrival.”
Representative Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) stated Senate Republicans were giving in to Democrats, saying on X, “The Biden-Senate Border Sellout is not compromise; it’s capitulation. ❌”Shutdown” only after 5,000 illegals per day in a week or 8,500 illegals in a single day enter ❌$2.3 billion for more refugees ❌Increases green cards by 50,000/year ❌Work permits to all illegals released”
Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) stated on X, “No money can be used to process or release into the country any new migrants.”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) stated on X, “The Senate border surrender deal is DOA in the House. We are going to impeach Mayorkas this week not empower him with a legalized invasion of 1.8 million per year with amnesty while funding the defense of other country’s borders.”
In response to Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) stating the bill was misunderstood, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) responded on X saying, “Misunderstood? No Lankford, you put your awful bill in writing and gave it to the American people. Thank goodness we won’t be passing it in the house.”
