SAN DIEGO — Speaker of the House Mike Johnson toured the San Diego border Thursday with Congressman Darrell Issa.Speaker Johnson slammed President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris about their border policy, saying the people coming in pose a security risk to our country.
"This has become in many ways the epicenter of the Biden-Harris border catastrophe," said the speaker. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the number of migrant encounters is down 55% since the order took effect seven weeks ago. "Essentially, the only thing that’s changed since the executive order went into effect is that the processing is happening in a different place," said John Anfinsen, the executive vice president of the National Border Patrol Council.At the time of the press conference, twelve migrants, including five children, were waiting at the border, all hoping to seek asylum.
