The speaker directed the president to end ‘catch-and-release,’ turning away any migrants encountered between ports of entry and use parole only on a ‘case-by-case basis.’

He also called on the president to reinstated Trump-era policies like building the wall, reinstating the Remain in Mexico program and expanding expedited removal for those who cannot demonstrate asylum eligibility.

Johnson even urged Biden to suspend all immigration – using his authority under Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. …

The letter came as the Senate jetted out of down without hammering out the details of its border and foreign aid plan. …

The letter noted that Customs and Border Patrol had encountered nearly 2.5 million migrants in fiscal year 2023, and was on track to break that record in 2024. …

‘The wide-open border has caused unspeakable human tragedy for migrants and certainly for our own citizens,’ Johnson wrote, noting human trafficking, fentanyl and people from the terrorist watchlist crossing the borders.

‘All of this is the direct result of your administration’s policies,’ he wrote. …

From Just the News. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is sounding an alarm that the crisis at the southern U.S. border may eventually cause an election integrity crisis in America, imploring lawmakers in Congress and his state Legislature to pursue constitutional amendments to permanently ban noncitizen voting before liberal activists try to secure voting rights for the millions flooding into the county under President Joe Biden. …

“I think that they have a long-term plan,” Raffensperger said Wednesday night in an exclusive interview with the “Just the News, No Noise” television show. “If you look at our open borders, Biden’s over borders, people are just streaming into this country. … But every country has secure borders, except right now Biden’s southern border, because he will not enforce our immigration laws.”

“What that does is open up, you know, the ability for these liberal groups,” he continued. “They want to get them some help, get them (noncitizens) on the rolls for city elections,” he added. “But once you ended up with them, offer them city elections, how do you really have (voter) rolls that are clean for both statewide and federal elections? We want to make sure that everyone understands only American citizenship, only American citizens should be on the voter registration list, and only American citizens should be voting in our elections.”

Raffensperger’s concerns aren’t purely theoretical. While federal law from the 1990s bans non-citizens from voting in U.S. House, Senate and presidential elections, at least 17 municipalities in Vermont, Maryland and California and the District of Columbia have authorized non-citizens to vote in local elections, according to Ballotpedia. …

In Georgia, a liberal group called the Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda is suing to try to block the state from conducting its legally required citizenship checks during voter registration. Raffensperger’s office is contesting the lawsuit. …

Raffensperger is pressing his state’s General Assembly to amend the state Constitution to mandate that only U.S. citizens may vote in state elections. …

In the meantime, he also is urging Congress and other states to begin the far more arduous process to add a similar amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“The most important thing people need to understand is that for the majority of Democrats and Republicans, this is bipartisan,” he added. “We have 70% of all Democrats believe that you have to be an American citizen. 94% of all Republicans. That’s 80%  here in Georgia, and that’s probably the nationwide average. It just is common sense.” …

The cost of the open border is high, and America can’t keep paying it forever. Share your prayers for a supernaturally secure border below.
