GOP House Speaker Johnson Exposes Border Patrol Union Being Paid To Back ‘Border Deal’
A new funding bill for $118 billion allocates only $20 billion to secure the US border while giving $60 billion to Ukraine and $14 billion to Israel. The bill is flawed and will not stop mass migration.
House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote on X that President Biden could suspend all entries into the country if he deems it to be in the nation’s interest. See Section 212-F of the Immigration and Nationality Act for the statute.
Johnson said that the Border Patrol Union is likely endorsing the weak ‘border deal’ because it “does have something to do with the pay structure that’s in the bill.” The legislation proposal would give DHS $18 billion in funding if the bill passes. Government Executive reported that “$700 million would go toward hiring of Custom and Border Protection officer and Border Patrol agent hiring, $500 million for Immigration and Customs Enforcement staffing, upwards of $4 billion for US Citizenship and Immigration Services to onboard more than 4,300 new asylum officers and $56 million for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center to staff up to train all of those new employees.”
