House Speaker Johnson Criticizes Biden, Harris Border Policies

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) visited the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego, criticizing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their handling of illegal immigration. Johnson, accompanied by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), called the border situation a 'catastrophe' engineered by the Biden-Harris administration and linked it to election integrity concerns. Despite Johnson's criticisms, recent data indicates a significant decrease in migrant encounters due to Biden's new asylum restrictions. Johnson also promoted the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship for federal voting, passed by the GOP-controlled House but opposed by the Senate and the White House. The visit follows a House resolution condemning Harris' role as 'border czar,' a title disputed by Democrats. Johnson's trip highlights the GOP's strategy to target Harris in the upcoming presidential election as she becomes the presumptive Democratic nominee.
