House Speaker declined Sunday to give the Biden administration credit for acting on the U.S. southern border ahead of his expected executive order to clamp down on illegal immigration.
Biden is reportedly expected to sign an executive order this week that will address immigration and border security amid criticism from both parties over his handling of the situation at the border, NewsNation reported last week, citing a border community leader who requested anonymity.
When asked on “Fox News Sunday,” whether Biden should receive credit for making moves for border security after months of requests from Johnson, Johnson said, “I don’t … it’s too little too late now.”
He also said Biden is “trying to desperately show the American people that he wants to address the issue that he himself created.”
Johnson and House Republicans have repeatedly lamented the Biden administration’s border policies, arguing they have contributed to the mass influx of migrants into the U.S. and the country’s fentanyl spread.
In January, Johnson’s office released a list of 64 instances it claimed showed the Biden administration “undermining border security policy and encouraging illegal immigration.”
