Are you suggesting that the GOP uses xenophobia and racism to district their base from the reality that Republicans don’t do shit to actually benefit average Americans and improve our country???
Mike Johnson believes that Dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark… not an intellectual. He is using the same Two Decade Wedge Issue; even when the Republicans had a Majority in the House & Senate; why didn’t they Reform Immigration then? Realize; that the Republicans don’t have any positive policies or Legislation that is or was beneficial to the over 88% of the American Working Middle Class, the American Working Underprivileged Class, to our Communities, to our Environment, to our Nation. Each Republican Administration with Reagan throughout Drumpf has extreme to excessive incurred Debt; causing Inflation or a Recession. Drumpf continued to facilitate the failed Reagan Policy of Trickle Down Economics; which in Reagan’s day was the beginning of the downturn of the American Working Middle Class. Who do you think lived as the Original Inhabitants of North America? The Original Inhabitants were Native Americans and Mexicans… not White Christian Nationalists. We need immigrants; they are essential for Jobs ; that Americans will never work. White People are all immigrants to the North American Continent. Did you miss out on factual Education? Of course you did; Republicans purposely and successfully underfunded Public Education: since 1980-present day(especially in Red States) in order to dumb down the Constituents; to have uneducated persons Vote against their own interests. Factual statistics reveal that persons who have only Graduated High School(1980-present day) have the intelligence and comprehension equivalent to a 7th-8th Grade Elementary School Education. Not exactly a mature mind with logical or critical reasoning and thinking abilities. Also; Mike Johnson has never been in Politics or has been a Public Servant. He has discriminatory beliefs and behaviors; says he is a Christian but doesn’t believe in the Golden Rule. He wants Government to have Religious Indoctrination; his Religion; the way he Reads Scripture… unfortunately; if the Lord was alive today he would be considered an Immigrant and not allowed Legally in our Nation. We have the Separation between the Church and State for a reason… also he was the largest supporter of the 2020!Election Denial … he is a Traitor to the United States(Evil Incarnate)

@@allanhwhite.kineticmobilesI think experienced border patrol officers have way more credibility on the cartels than pompous, Leftist talking head media sock puppets and treasonous politicians, including Biden.
They don’t want to, because the GOP loses a talking point & the US economy is heavily dependent on illegal labor, but doesn’t want to talk about it. BTW, many if not most illegals pay taxes through ITNs - GOP doesn’t want to talk about that either. So they do the crappiest work AND pay taxes without receiving benefits. AND get demonized. I’d like to see Biden call out the GOP in SOTU for not introducing reform.
They also want to cut free elections. It will not happen in one step, but they are actively trying to disenfranchise anyone who voted for democrats while filling the courts and the department of justice with people who will allow them to rig elections. Johnson is one of the masterminds of an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election through the courts.
so do you mean the tax cuts that GE enjoys? What about Microsoft? How about Blackrock? What social safety net are you speaking of? Or are you talking out your ass? Please explain.
Imagine that. Instead of passing laws, he wants executive orders instead. Talking out both sides of his neck. Just like all conservatives. They only care about the headlines and talking points. Not actually negotiating and enacting laws.
Border security is a non issue. With the tragectory the US is going, border security would prevent people from fleeing the mess. Give it a few years and the traffic will be to go back through Mexico. Regardless of which party the sheeple elect.
Not funding Ukraine in their war with Russia greatly increases the likelihood of a protracted war involving US Troops. It would be best if Mike Johnson put it up for a vote so this could end in an expedited manner. Pleasing Putin is all Mike Johnson is concerned about.
This is how truly freaking uneducated you are. The longer the war in Russia goes on with Ukraine the more likely the United States is to get involved in the hot war with Russia, which would mean the death of millions of people in Russia and the United States. Before you say something, you know nothing about please educate yourself .😂😂😂😂😂
Yes the real problem is Congress refuses to increase Border Patrol funding not to mention immigration reform & look at issues why Central American countries are so terrible to live in. Stopping those people from coming is not that simple. The Trump border wall is a feel good measure that is so easy to circumvent.

I don't like to "both sides" issues, but, in the case of immigration, both parties and houses of Congress are clearly to blame for not implementing solutions. It's easier and more convenient to use immigration as a wedge issue against the other side than it is to engage in real problem-solving.

Wherever Republicans are in office they do nothing and when a Democrat is in office they complain that nothing is being done even though they are the ones that should be passing the laws to take care of this problem. They just went there to “act” as if by going there they did something. 🤦🏽
If we don't stop putting these people in power who aren't serious at all about fixing any problems in our country, we are going to be in big trouble! This man only cares about photo ops and sound bites.
This Mike Johnson guy is wrong to blame the executive branch. It is clearly for Legislative. He needs to take it to the very top and talk with the Speaker of the House. That is the person in government most able to help.
Johnson: We'll sit around and watch the problem unfold but if you expect us to do anything about it we'll be happy to sit around and listen to you and still do nothing. Look at all the "Stuff" ,we did last year, including nothing. It's all on record.
Mike Johnson wants to keep this issue alive during an election year. He, definitely, doesn't want to fix the problem. Just point the finger and complain.
All the republians know is makinh noise but no solutions. How many times did he say, l dont wanna talk hypothetical?? He is another Maga who trys to steal election.
To you Jake Tapper, if you cannot ask a simple question such as "what do YOU speaker Johnson suggest to do to solve the problem as YOU speaker Johnson are describing it", then I don't think you are a real journalist.
Last year, Sheriffs from Border towns came together and sent and signed a 16 point 'needs' list to Republicans in Congress. They never received response and, of course, no action. The same Republican Congress that only put 22 pieces of legislation into law for the entire year, and a few of those bills were for things like a commemorative coin, renaming a building/post office. (They are the 2nd least effective Congress ever, only to be surpassed in by the 1932 Congress who only met/worked for 3 months and passed 21 pieces of legislation during those 3 months). Clearly, they don't want to work let alone get serious to fix any problem. Mike Johnson and the rest of the clown caucus are gaslighting for photo ops and campaign talking points.
A Christian here, and he ain’t one. Christian Nationalist, absolutely. But not a follower of Jesus. The New Testament after the 4 Gospels have plenty of warnings about hypocrites like him. It’s an old game, playing on people’s worst instincts, relabeling evil as good. Sadly works too well on many.
Johnson keeps on blaming the president for the border but it's not up to him it's up to congress to make the laws about our borders. So get together and get something done. That's why we send them to Washington.
The GOP doesn’t want to fix any problem. They want to create crises in the USA so they can argue that they need to seize control over the department of justice and the courts to effectively end free elections in the USA. Mike Johnson is an enemy of American Democracy and the Constitution.
*Biden. They said all he wants is more money to hire more people to process and admit more migrants and technology to detect Fetanyl. That would not fix the issue.
no, they've been pushing for mass immigration themselves because they don't care about the country or its principles, they only care about "owning the libs" using even false pretenses and crisis' they've created. the whole "crisis actor" claim they came up with re: mass shootings? that never even was a thing for those gun violence victims, and who came up with it? the same people who are doing exactly that now. every accusation is a confession for them it seems. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we've got GOP lawmakers taking a cut of what the coyotes make for smuggling them in, for both the border talking point to try and seize back their party's power, to earn a few dollars "under the table" in their own pockets, and to offer these migrants up to their donor-owners for slave labor wages. it's a win-win-win-win-win for them
God i hate listening to these politicians talk. He never OFFERS any actual solutions. Just talking points and hypotheticals. Tapper points out correctly that money will go to both "more buckets", as Johnson keeps repeating, AND helping to patrol the boarder, but Johnson just keeps saying incorrectly that the money won't help. Gah, infuriating.
The Sheriff at the Border that Speaker Mike talks about, wants people to stop coming to the Border at all. How exactly would anyone in the United States stop people from countries in poverty from leaving those countries and seeking a better life? If you solve the problem of having people line up at border the best solution is to aid the original country in keeping their citizens happy in their borders. However that does not always work and we have attempted to do that too. There is no easy solution, but obviously the Congress needs to do their job.

Kudos to Speaker Johnson!👍👏🏽
Mike Johnson believes that Dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark… not an intellectual. He is using the same Two Decade Wedge Issue; even when the Republicans had a Majority in the House & Senate; why didn’t they Reform Immigration then? Realize; that the Republicans don’t have any positive policies or Legislation that is or was beneficial to the over 88% of the American Working Middle Class, the American Working Underprivileged Class, to our Communities, to our Environment, to our Nation. Each Republican Administration with Reagan throughout Drumpf has extreme to excessive incurred Debt; causing Inflation or a Recession. Drumpf continued to facilitate the failed Reagan Policy of Trickle Down Economics; which in Reagan’s day was the beginning of the downturn of the American Working Middle Class. Who do you think lived as the Original Inhabitants of North America? The Original Inhabitants were Native Americans and Mexicans… not White Christian Nationalists. We need immigrants; they are essential for Jobs ; that Americans will never work. White People are all immigrants to the North American Continent. Did you miss out on factual Education? Of course you did; Republicans purposely and successfully underfunded Public Education: since 1980-present day(especially in Red States) in order to dumb down the Constituents; to have uneducated persons Vote against their own interests. Factual statistics reveal that persons who have only Graduated High School(1980-present day) have the intelligence and comprehension equivalent to a 7th-8th Grade Elementary School Education. Not exactly a mature mind with logical or critical reasoning and thinking abilities. Also; Mike Johnson has never been in Politics or has been a Public Servant. He has discriminatory beliefs and behaviors; says he is a Christian but doesn’t believe in the Golden Rule. He wants Government to have Religious Indoctrination; his Religion; the way he Reads Scripture… unfortunately; if the Lord was alive today he would be considered an Immigrant and not allowed Legally in our Nation. We have the Separation between the Church and State for a reason… also he was the largest supporter of the 2020!Election Denial … he is a Traitor to the United States(Evil Incarnate)
I hope his phone is on silent. We don’t want to hear any notifications he gets of his son spanking it.

@@scabcrawler632 Why do you think that all immigrants are criminals? Considering that every single citizen of the US, except for native Americans, are immigrants? According to your theory the U.S is a land of criminals? Yeah right
The goal of the Speaker is to keep the issue alive for political reasons, not for national security!
Or actually fixing the problem 🙄 NO solutions just more blame game pointless 🙄 🎉 Do your job !! Oh ya you can't/won't gotcha ya 😏 Vote 💙 across the board and bring someone with you 💙 👍 🇺🇸
If Maga Republicans were actually concerned about national security, they would be appalled by how irresponsible Trump was with classified documents. They don't care, this is about fear mongering and fundraising.

You can't just keep throwing money at a problem and cross your fingers. Enforce the laws we already have!
They don’t want to, because the GOP loses a talking point & the US economy is heavily dependent on illegal labor, but doesn’t want to talk about it. BTW, many if not most illegals pay taxes through ITNs - GOP doesn’t want to talk about that either. So they do the crappiest work AND pay taxes without receiving benefits. AND get demonized. I’d like to see Biden call out the GOP in SOTU for not introducing reform.
Mike Johnson is one of the slimiest politicians I've seen in a position of power in this country since I started voting in 1972.

Soon as they get in power , cut tax for wealthy , cut social safety net , Sweep this under the rug .
The GOP are the ones who GIVE the wealthy tax cuts, not the Dems.
They also want to cut free elections. It will not happen in one step, but they are actively trying to disenfranchise anyone who voted for democrats while filling the courts and the department of justice with people who will allow them to rig elections. Johnson is one of the masterminds of an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election through the courts.
so do you mean the tax cuts that GE enjoys? What about Microsoft? How about Blackrock? What social safety net are you speaking of? Or are you talking out your ass? Please explain.
Yep, that's what they do every 2 years, every single election! 💯
Imagine that. Instead of passing laws, he wants executive orders instead.
Talking out both sides of his neck. Just like all conservatives. They only care about the headlines and talking points. Not actually negotiating and enacting laws.
Border security is a non issue. With the tragectory the US is going, border security would prevent people from fleeing the mess. Give it a few years and the traffic will be to go back through Mexico. Regardless of which party the sheeple elect.
Mike Johnson is one of the biggest dangers in this country
so joe biden not wtf wrong with u he started this shit
100% right!!
Scaredy cats with TDS

Truly. It’s chilling that Mike Johnson is Speaker.
Not funding Ukraine in their war with Russia greatly increases the likelihood of a protracted war involving US Troops. It would be best if Mike Johnson put it up for a vote so this could end in an expedited manner. Pleasing Putin is all Mike Johnson is concerned about.
❤
Agree 100%
Totally agree!
What a ridiculous statement: "Pleasing Putin is all Mike Johnson is concerned about."
This is how truly freaking uneducated you are.
The longer the war in Russia goes on with Ukraine the more likely the United States is to get involved in the hot war with Russia, which would mean the death of millions of people in Russia and the United States. Before you say something, you know nothing about please educate yourself .😂😂😂😂😂
Mike is the biggest johnson in the house of representatives to date😂
How do you know the size of his Johnson? 😮😮
Yes the real problem is Congress refuses to increase Border Patrol funding not to mention immigration reform & look at issues why Central American countries are so terrible to live in. Stopping those people from coming is not that simple. The Trump border wall is a feel good measure that is so easy to circumvent.
Great story. Nice distraction, Mike. Let the house vote on financial support for Ukraine.
Ukraine has had enough US funding.
@@bigpicturethinking5620 Hell no, the Russians are still occupying some of the lands they have stolen since 2014. Untill they are all gone and those lands are liberated/returned, we need to support Ukraine however we can.

@@bigpicturethinking5620why do you feel they have had enough?
Mike Johnson is just the perfect combination of glib and ignorant, I guess. The "flow of Fentanyl" doesn't come walking over the southern border in people's backpacks and purses. It comes on planes, and trucks, and ships. In bulk. Because money. 🙄

Exactly!!! It's all political bs!! Posing for the cameras instead of doing their jobs!! As usual!!!
They do not need funding to fix the issue. The funding Biden wants is to hire more Border agents to process and admit more migrants and technology to detect Fetanyl. That won't fix the issue.
Exactly why don't you vote
You wont compromise? Ok close the border points for good!
This is the speaker of the house, God help us.

YOU can fix this, Johnson. You are a failure.
The Republicans have the house. Why don't they pass a bill to help secure our borders instead of talking crap?

@@justina9137 So no reason whatsoever? we knew that.
@@justina9137 So don't try at all? The GOP funding bill has zero money for the border even though agents retire all the time, they need pay raises as they work constantly because there's not enough of them then the GOP complains that too many are getting in undetected. He's talking in a circle.
I don't like to "both sides" issues, but, in the case of immigration, both parties and houses of Congress are clearly to blame for not implementing solutions. It's easier and more convenient to use immigration as a wedge issue against the other side than it is to engage in real problem-solving.
I thought Trump indicated he would fix this problem.
The Constitution puts immigration policy squarely in the hands of Congress! Do your job, Congress!!!
Exactly!
Really? How about in 2020? Whose congress was it? But u r so stupid, Knowing why ur grandpa is letting them come in by removing T42, inviting them exclusively, storing border wall, giving them free bees, ur being ignorant. Ur grandpa abandoned u like he abandoned one of his grand kid. Stop being uneductated and ignorant.
They would prefer to put a bandaid on it instead of putting in some work. It Gives them something to complain about.
Wherever Republicans are in office they do nothing and when a Democrat is in office they complain that nothing is being done even though they are the ones that should be passing the laws to take care of this problem. They just went there to “act” as if by going there they did something. 🤦🏽
They won't fix anything because it's more useful as a talking point.
If we don't stop putting these people in power who aren't serious at all about fixing any problems in our country, we are going to be in big trouble! This man only cares about photo ops and sound bites.

This Mike Johnson guy is wrong to blame the executive branch. It is clearly for Legislative. He needs to take it to the very top and talk with the Speaker of the House. That is the person in government most able to help.

Johnson: We'll sit around and watch the problem unfold but if you expect us to do anything about it we'll be happy to sit around and listen to you and still do nothing. Look at all the "Stuff" ,we did last year, including nothing. It's all on record.
Mike Johnson wants to keep this issue alive during an election year. He, definitely, doesn't want to fix the problem. Just point the finger and complain.
All the republians know is makinh noise but no solutions.
How many times did he say, l dont wanna talk hypothetical??
He is another Maga who trys to steal election.

The words "nows not the time" should be allowed to never be used as an excuse. Call it out for what it is. I don't want to solve the issue.
Costs billions and billions, so why not take the 14 billion supplemental bill. Something is better than nothing. What a crop Mr. Johnson.
Johnson is so full of BS!
They just want to say how awful it is, because that’s how their constituents want to feel. Just feeling the problem!
Same way AOC went to make you feel triggered.
To you Jake Tapper, if you cannot ask a simple question such as "what do YOU speaker Johnson suggest to do to solve the problem as YOU speaker Johnson are describing it", then I don't think you are a real journalist.
Oh Mikey! What a self-righteous little pratt.
Last year, Sheriffs from Border towns came together and sent and signed a 16 point 'needs' list to Republicans in Congress. They never received response and, of course, no action. The same Republican Congress that only put 22 pieces of legislation into law for the entire year, and a few of those bills were for things like a commemorative coin, renaming a building/post office. (They are the 2nd least effective Congress ever, only to be surpassed in by the 1932 Congress who only met/worked for 3 months and passed 21 pieces of legislation during those 3 months). Clearly, they don't want to work let alone get serious to fix any problem. Mike Johnson and the rest of the clown caucus are gaslighting for photo ops and campaign talking points.
Lying appears to be the Christian thing to do. No matter how much their god told them it's a sin.

Wow, what a STUPID comment!
A Christian here, and he ain’t one. Christian Nationalist, absolutely. But not a follower of Jesus. The New Testament after the 4 Gospels have plenty of warnings about hypocrites like him. It’s an old game, playing on people’s worst instincts, relabeling evil as good. Sadly works too well on many.
Sounds really bad in the USA maybe Mike should emergent to Ukraine if he’s unhappy 😬
How long do we have to put up with this Speaker Johnson? He won't listen....he just talks over Mr. Tapper.
Johnson keeps on blaming the president for the border but it's not up to him it's up to congress to make the laws about our borders. So get together and get something done. That's why we send them to Washington.

The GOP doesn’t want to fix any problem. They want to create crises in the USA so they can argue that they need to seize control over the department of justice and the courts to effectively end free elections in the USA. Mike Johnson is an enemy of American Democracy and the Constitution.
*Biden. They said all he wants is more money to hire more people to process and admit more migrants and technology to detect Fetanyl. That would not fix the issue.
They just want to talk and complain about it so they can get their base filled with lies
no, they've been pushing for mass immigration themselves because they don't care about the country or its principles, they only care about "owning the libs" using even false pretenses and crisis' they've created. the whole "crisis actor" claim they came up with re: mass shootings? that never even was a thing for those gun violence victims, and who came up with it? the same people who are doing exactly that now. every accusation is a confession for them it seems. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we've got GOP lawmakers taking a cut of what the coyotes make for smuggling them in, for both the border talking point to try and seize back their party's power, to earn a few dollars "under the table" in their own pockets, and to offer these migrants up to their donor-owners for slave labor wages. it's a win-win-win-win-win for them
The problem wouldn't be there if Joe Biden was in office!
God i hate listening to these politicians talk. He never OFFERS any actual solutions. Just talking points and hypotheticals. Tapper points out correctly that money will go to both "more buckets", as Johnson keeps repeating, AND helping to patrol the boarder, but Johnson just keeps saying incorrectly that the money won't help.
Gah, infuriating.

The Sheriff at the Border that Speaker Mike talks about, wants people to stop coming to the Border at all. How exactly would anyone in the United States stop people from countries in poverty from leaving those countries and seeking a better life? If you solve the problem of having people line up at border the best solution is to aid the original country in keeping their citizens happy in their borders. However that does not always work and we have attempted to do that too. There is no easy solution, but obviously the Congress needs to do their job.
