Speaker Johnson: Biden executive order on border security 'too little too late'

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said that an expected executive order by President Joe Biden to address border security is "too little too late," pointing to 64 specific actions by the Biden administration beginning on his first day in office that have allowed millions of illegal immigrants to flood the country.

“He’s trying to desperately show the American people that he wants to address the issue that he himself created,” Johnson continued. “We documented 64 specific actions that President Biden and Secretary [Alejandro Mayorkas] at [the Department of Homeland Security] took over … the course of three and a half years, beginning on the first day that President Biden [took office], to open the border.

"They did it intentionally; it’s had catastrophic effects upon our country that we’ll be living with for decades to come," Johnson added.

“And now he wants to issue some sort of executive order, I guess to show that, ‘Oh he really does care about the issue.’ The only reason he’s doing that is because the polls say that it’s the biggest issue in America,” Johnson said.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) had a different view on Biden's actions when asked a similar question.

“Well, look, [Biden] wanted to … he thought it would be validated by having Congress do it. Republicans aren’t going to do it, so he’s got to do something,” Swalwell told NewsNation on The Hill Sunday.
