While Biden has called\u2064 for a bipartisan bill from Congress, Johnson\u2064 has pressed\u200b him \u200cto utilize Section 212(f) of the Immigration \u2063and Nationality Act, which grants\u2064 the president the authority to block entry to individuals deemed detrimental\u2062 to U.S. interests.<\/p>\n<p>Since Biden took office in January 2021, over\u200c eight million migrants\u2063 have been encountered by Customs and Border Protection \u200cafter crossing the border illegally.\u2063 The number of illegal immigrant encounters \u2063in December alone broke the previous record for a single month, coming close \u200bto\u2063 the total \u2063encounters in the entire 2017 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1706979806639000&#038;usg=AOvVaw3sdSzjTdqhcFf9-gfsnCGL\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><em>Daniel Chaitin \u200ccontributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What evidence supports\u200b House Speaker Johnson&#8217;s skepticism \u2064about \u2063President Biden&#8217;s\u200b control\u2063 over immigration \u2064policy?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200c\u200b\u200bimplement these policies that we\u2064 all see\u200d failing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Johnson&#8217;s \u200bskepticism about Biden&#8217;s control\u2064 over immigration policy is not unfounded. \u2062Since taking office, the Biden administration has faced a surge\u200b of migrants \u2063at the southern border, leading to overcrowded detention facilities and a humanitarian crisis. Critics argue that Biden&#8217;s reversal of many of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s immigration policies, such as halting \u2064construction of the border wall and \u200bending the &#8220;Remain in Mexico&#8221; program, have contributed to the growing crisis.<\/p>\n<p>However, Johnson&#8217;s claim \u200cthat Biden is not the one calling the shots on immigration is a \u2064significant accusation. \u2063It implies that there are \u200bunseen\u200c forces within \u200bthe administration controlling policy decisions and potentially \u2063overriding the president&#8217;s authority. \u200bThis \u200craises concerns \u200babout transparency and \u200baccountability within \u200cthe Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>It is not uncommon for presidents\u2063 to rely on \u2064their \u2062advisors and staff when making policy decisions. \u2063After all, they cannot personally oversee every aspect of governance.\u2064 However, the public expects\u2063 the president \u200cto be the ultimate decision-maker \u2062and to be fully aware of the \u200dconsequences of\u2064 their actions. If\u200b Biden&#8217;s staff is indeed driving immigration policy, it calls into question his \u200dability to lead and make independent, informed decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson&#8217;s statement raises another important question:\u200d who\u200c is really in charge of the Biden administration&#8217;s immigration policy? If not\u200c Biden, then who is the driving force\u2062 behind these controversial decisions? It is vital for the American public to have clarity on this matter, as immigration policy has far-reaching implications for national\u2063 security, the economy, and the\u200d well-being of both American \u2064citizens and migrants.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, if Biden is being pressured\u2063 or\u2063 influenced by \u200cindividuals within his administration to pursue certain \u200cpolicies, it is\u200d essential\u2062 to examine the motivations behind \u2063these actions. Are they \u2064for the benefit of the country as a whole, or\u2064 do \u200dthey serve the interests of\u2063 a particular group or agenda? Transparency and accountability are crucial in \u200bmaintaining public trust\u200c and \u200censuring that decisions are made\u2064 in the best interest of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>As House Speaker, Johnson&#8217;s concerns reflect the growing frustrations among conservatives and critics of the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of immigration. It is \u200dimperative for President Biden to \u200baddress these \u2062concerns and dispel\u2063 any \u2062doubts about\u2063 his control over \u2063immigration policy. Taking executive action to secure the southern border and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/speaker-mike-johnson-biden-admin-intentionally-caused-historic-illegal-immigration-crisis\/\" title=\"Mike Johnson, the speaker, accuses the Biden administration of deliberately causing a significant illegal immigration crisis\">implement effective immigration policies<\/a> would not only demonstrate his commitment \u2062to \u200dfulfilling\u200b his campaign promises but also reinforce his position as the leader of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, House Speaker Mike\u2064 Johnson&#8217;s doubts about President Joe Biden&#8217;s control over immigration policy raise important \u200cquestions about the transparency and accountability \u200bof the Biden \u200dadministration. If \u2063Biden\u2062 is not the one making crucial \u2063decisions regarding immigration, then who is? The\u2062 American \u200dpublic deserves clarity on \u200dthis matter as \u200cit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/schumer-goes-nuts-during-classified-briefing-on-ukraine-after-his-gop-colleagues-bring-up-border-security-report\/\" title=\"Schumer gets upset during Ukraine briefing when GOP mentions border security: Report\">directly impacts national security<\/a> and the well-being of both\u200d citizens and migrants. \u200cIt \u200bis crucial \u2063for President Biden to assert his authority, address these concerns, and take strong action \u200bto secure the southern border.
