Johnson emphasized the alarming surge in \u200cillegal immigration, holding the current administration&#8217;s policies responsible. Rather than waiting\u200d for legislative solutions, Johnson proposed \u200ba\u200d series of recommendations that can be implemented under existing law.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 first recommendation put\u2062 forth by Johnson is to end catch-and-release. This \u2062refers to the practice \u2064of releasing individuals\u200c who\u200d are caught crossing the border illegally, often\u2062 without any consequences or accountability. This approach has\u200b been\u200b widely criticized \u2063for \u200cincentivizing illegal immigration and\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/greg-abbott-sends-in-texas-national-guard-to-assist-with-invasion-at-border\/\" title=\"Greg Abbott deploys Texas National Guard to aid with border 'invasion'.\">undermining border security<\/a>.\u200d Johnson argues that by ending\u200c this \u2063policy,\u200d a strong\u2062 message will\u200b be sent\u200b to potential illegal \u200cimmigrants that the United States\u200b takes its border \u2062enforcement seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Johnson calls on\u200d President Biden to stop the &#8220;exploitation&#8221; of parole authority. Parole is a discretionary measure that allows\u200d certain individuals to enter the country for humanitarian or\u2063 public \u200binterest reasons. However, Johnson \u2064argues that\u2063 this authority has been misused, resulting in the entry of individuals who \u2064do \u2062not \u200cmeet the criteria for parole. By addressing this issue, Johnson believes\u2064 the administration can\u2062 regain\u2062 control over\u200c who enters the country and\u200b prevent\u2064 the abuse of parole authority.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson also stresses\u2063 the need to\u2064 revive asylum cooperation agreements with Mexico. These \u2062agreements, which were previously in place, \u2064allowed the United States\u200b to work \u200bcollaboratively with Mexico \u200bto manage asylum claims and prevent the exploitation \u200bof the system. Johnson argues \u200dthat reinstating these agreements will\u200c help alleviate the burden on\u200b the\u200d US \u2062immigration system and discourage\u200b individuals with fraudulent claims from attempting\u2064 to\u200b seek asylum.<\/p>\n<p>In \u200daddition, Johnson highlights the importance\u200b of expediting the \u200dremoval of\u2064 ineligible \u2064asylum seekers. He \u2063suggests ramping\u200c up the &#8220;expedited&#8221; removal process to ensure\u2063 that those who do not qualify for asylum are swiftly returned to their home countries. This not only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-view-hosts-slam-democrats-for-weak-and-bad-messaging-on-border-wall\/\" title=\"The View hosts criticize Democrats' ineffective messaging on border wall.\">strengthens\u2063 border security<\/a>\u200d but also prevents the\u2062 backlog\u2062 of cases and\u2063 allows resources to be allocated\u200d more efficiently to genuine \u2063asylum claims.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Johnson calls for the resumption of the construction of a border wall. \u200bThe construction of a physical barrier \u200balong\u2063 the southern border was a cornerstone of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s immigration policy. Johnson argues that continuing the construction \u2063will not \u2063only serve as a deterrent\u200c to illegal immigration\u200b but also provide border agents with additional tools and resources \u2062to\u200c effectively carry out their duties.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson&#8217;s\u200c letter \u2064to President Biden \u2063comes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-blm-sent-millions-to-canada-charity-for-mansion-formerly-owned-by-communist-party\/\" title=\"Report: BLM Sent Millions to Canada Charity for Mansion Formerly Owned by Communist Party\">amid mounting concerns<\/a> over \u200cthe worsening border crisis. The House Speaker highlights\u2062 the\u200d importance of immediate action to secure the border \u200band protect the\u2063 integrity\u2063 of the immigration\u2062 system. While \u2063legislative solutions may take\u2064 time to materialize, \u2063Johnson emphasizes the range of options available\u200d under existing\u2063 law\u2063 that can be utilized to address the\u200d issue. It remains to be\u2064 seen how President\u200d Biden will\u2064 respond\u200d to\u2062 this passionate plea\u2062 and whether any\u2064 of \u200dJohnson&#8217;s recommendations will be implemented.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) urged President Joe Biden to address the southern border crisis through executive actions.
