In response to the Department of Justice’s legal action against Texas, Speaker Johnson issued a statement condemning the Biden Administration’s lawsuit challenging the legislation signed by Governor Greg Abbott on border security with Mexico.
“Yesterday, more than 60 House Republicans were in South Texas speaking with local landowners and law enforcement. We were shown firsthand how the President’s reckless open-border policies are devastating communities across the state,” Speaker Johnson stated.
“The Biden Administration’s decision to sue the state of Texas for trying to secure its border is shameful. The first responsibility of leaders is to protect their citizens, and Governor Abbott has shown leadership where President Biden has been an abject failure,” Johnson continued.
“The Biden Administration is showing once again it is obviously their deliberate strategy to keep the border open and continue the chaos and humanitarian crisis their policies have created.”
