Speaker Johnson accuses the President of an earlier border "photo-op". What exactly is his being at the border accomplishing? He is just hammering GOP "talking points" which is not accomplishing much more than that.
Republicans keep saying that the borders are open. People hear that and call their relatives and tell them to come on over. Republicans keep inviting illegals.
Don't forget it's a great 'photo-op' for johnson to be standing at the border. Also it would be great to hear the original 'quotes' from the people he claims made them. As far as the refugee numbers, the big difference between the trump and Biden administrations, under the Biden administration the refugees are getting caught, under trump there were as many refugees it's just they didn't get caught because trump had a "big beautiful wall" to stop them.
Listen to the question at 5:05 regarding compromise, and you quickly realize that the end game of the Speaker is to keep the issue alive for political reasons, not for national security.

@@Musicsports The problem isn't to hire more border patrol agents to process more people. The problem is the amount of people getting into the country.

The new officers, under current Presidential policies, would be responsible for funneling more illegals to the new processing employees. That would make the problem worse. Biden needs to change his policies which he refuses to do. Federal law puts protection of the country and its borders in the hands of the President and appointed cabinet.

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 .😂😂😂😂😂
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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. 🤦🏽

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.
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 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.
WELL, ISNT THAT WHAT DEMOCRATS DID TO TRUMP FOR 4 YRS. THEY NEVER WANTED TO HELP WITH ANYTHING HE WANTED TO PUSH. REMEMBER DACA AND THE GOVT SHUTDOWN. NANCY AND ALL THE TOP DEMOCRATS LEFT WASHINGTON FOR A VACATION. TRUMP MADE THEM ALL COME BACK TO COMPOSE A DEAL TO KEEP THE GOVT OPEN AND DEMS DIDNT WANT TO DO IT. I ALSO REMEMBER A TV APPEARANCE WITH TRUMP MIKE PENCE ,NANCY AND CHUCK SHUMMER.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some fell down and others were very easy to rip apart....not a wall, a fence...

As someone who lives in South Texas, and has been to El Paso, Brownsville, Laredo, and McAllen many times for business, I don't see why politicians think it's impressive or important to "visit the border." It's just for personal visibility, but doesn't address the issues surrounding it or those issues driving the emigration from Latin America in the first place. If they wanted to help the issue, rather than badger about it, as they have done my entire adult life, they would actually produce policy and legislation related to reforming the immigration process and the immigration system, as it is currently broken. But that is difficult, and then you can't cry about it as an issue every 4 years. Ironically, actually addressing the issue is not in any politician's interest.
If you reform immigration policy (which he squarely said, "now isn't the time to reform immigration policy"), then he wouldn't have had 11+ minutes of fearmongering talking points and thus, fundraising for the American ISIS party in an election year. If you constantly parrot how important it is to keep non-Europeans from crossing the border and obstruct any policy that isn't a guaranteed pass between the legislative and executive body (without being overturned by the judiciary), then the conservative Trump Chicken Heads have infinite time to regurgitate exaggerated pro non-European policies.
One thing I have noticed about the MAGA politicians is: it's all about blaming and photo op! And not about real work. Kind of like a used car salesman.

@@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.

Jake should have asked him why in May of last year, did they pass a bill to cut 22% on the funding of border security.
Yes he should have .
Or why biden DESTROYED AMERICA with the border and ILLEGALS and funding 4 wars now
Because it was for more agents to open gates
You should ask yourself why Biden didn’t get a bill passed the first two years of his presidency. Democrats were in the majority
For one thing the border is NOT open! Mayorkas has publicly said the border is closed. Fox is showing fake pictures of the border.
Stating the obvious: no flow of migrants, no crisis. You need the speaker of the house visiting the border to come to that conclusion? WTF America 😂
I have been waiting to legally get my wife here 3 years now...Still waiting. This pisses me off people can just walk across the boarder.....
Hiring more border patrol agents would definitely help that issue. Johnson isn't interested in helping the border patrol, he is looking for talking points for the 2024 election.
@@MusicsportsHow so when they are just letting them come in. Money isn't going to fix this.
@aaronwilson8403 I agree, Policies Have to change!
@@Musicsports The problem isn't to hire more border patrol agents to process more people. The problem is the amount of people getting into the country. If this continues at this rate our taxes will double or triple to pay for these people. When these people can't get jobs or have a place to live, where do you think the money to pay for them is going to come from? Good ole tax paying citizens! Biden opened the flood gates and caused this problem.

They already passed a bill, HR2 in May. It’s been sitting on Schumers desk.
@@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.
REINSTATE THE REMAIN IN MEXICO POLICY 46. STOP THE CATCH AND RELEASE POLICY IMMEDIATELY 46. Well said speaker Mike Johnson. God bless america
Im so sick of their threats. Hes not telling you because they don't plan on doing anything but complain
The new officers, under current Presidential policies, would be responsible for funneling more illegals to the new processing employees. That would make the problem worse. Biden needs to change his policies which he refuses to do.
Federal law puts protection of the country and its borders in the hands of the President and appointed cabinet. Congress is responsible for making laws that these official must work within. The Secretary of Justice and the Secretary of Homeland Security follow Biden's policies and as such are actively working against the law. The Federal employees and officers under these Secretaries are actively working to bring people into the country illegally and countering the efforts of state officers and officials.
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 .😂😂😂😂😂
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.
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.
Stop letting him lie!! Come on Jake
Moses is going to part the borders and walk to Mexico.
Aren’t we coming up on a Gov’t SHUTDOWN? Why after 3 weeks off for the holidays you take them on a field trip to complain about something you won’t fund. 🇺🇸

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!
Is Mike Johnson going to come out?
No one is responding to their constituents. No one...
Pass the budget you silly man

Hey Johnson, just pray that'll fix it...
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.
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.
Bull,he passes whatever he wants regardless of Congress!!
As Jake kept trying to point out.
It is 100% Joe Biden's fault.
@@SissyPeak-kq6viyou are delusional.

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.
DEMS you VOTED for all of this!!! Sanctuary cities, Biden and wide open borders, catch and release amnesty, promise of food stamps, medical care, housing , education... every poor person in the world heard all this and wants to come here now...AND THEY ARE!!! thanks DEMOCRATS!!!

A lot of Americans cross to Mexico. Mexico is Our 2nd Biggest Trade Partner. Pass Legislation in Congress.
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 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.
YOU can fix this, Johnson. You are a failure.
All the Republicans won't is to talk about the problem they do not have a fix all I want to do is complain and campaign off of it
That's right Jake don't put any blame on Biden or Harris. It's all on the House
Dude is in charge of legislating and can’t offer a single detail of what they would support, only what they don’t. Real helpful.
WELL, ISNT THAT WHAT DEMOCRATS DID TO TRUMP FOR 4 YRS. THEY NEVER WANTED TO HELP WITH ANYTHING HE WANTED TO PUSH. REMEMBER DACA AND THE GOVT SHUTDOWN. NANCY AND ALL THE TOP DEMOCRATS LEFT WASHINGTON FOR A VACATION. TRUMP MADE THEM ALL COME BACK TO COMPOSE A DEAL TO KEEP THE GOVT OPEN AND DEMS DIDNT WANT TO DO IT. I ALSO REMEMBER A TV APPEARANCE WITH TRUMP MIKE PENCE ,NANCY AND CHUCK SHUMMER.
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.
Johnson is so full of BS!

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.
CLOSE THE BORDER.

Gotta love that law maker crying about the need for new laws 😢
I thought Trump indicated he would fix this problem.
No one is talking about the source of the migrants reasons for migration. Who woud stay in the places they are coming from.
As someone who lives in South Texas, and has been to El Paso, Brownsville, Laredo, and McAllen many times for business, I don't see why politicians think it's impressive or important to "visit the border." It's just for personal visibility, but doesn't address the issues surrounding it or those issues driving the emigration from Latin America in the first place.
If they wanted to help the issue, rather than badger about it, as they have done my entire adult life, they would actually produce policy and legislation related to reforming the immigration process and the immigration system, as it is currently broken. But that is difficult, and then you can't cry about it as an issue every 4 years. Ironically, actually addressing the issue is not in any politician's interest.
If you reform immigration policy (which he squarely said, "now isn't the time to reform immigration policy"), then he wouldn't have had 11+ minutes of fearmongering talking points and thus, fundraising for the American ISIS party in an election year. If you constantly parrot how important it is to keep non-Europeans from crossing the border and obstruct any policy that isn't a guaranteed pass between the legislative and executive body (without being overturned by the judiciary), then the conservative Trump Chicken Heads have infinite time to regurgitate exaggerated pro non-European policies.
One thing I have noticed about the MAGA politicians is: it's all about blaming and photo op! And not about real work. Kind of like a used car salesman.
Exactly thank you
