The Biden Administration on Tuesday afternoon released the details of President Biden’s executive action that offers permanent residence to some non-citizens without congressional approval – a measure House Speaker Mike Johnson argues will encourage more illegal immigration into the U.S.
“Just two weeks ago, the president pretended to crack down on the open-border catastrophe by engaging an election-year border charade. Now he’s trying to play both sides and is granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens,” the Louisiana Republican said.
“The president may think our homeland security is some kind of game that he can try to use for political points, but Americans know this amnesty plan will only incentivize more illegal immigration and endanger Americans,” Johnson said in a statement.
