The House speaker contended that he and his fellow Republicans have passed bills to help secure the border, but that they are currently awaiting a vote in the Senate, which the Democratic Party currently controls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee, the open border Democrats control the Senate and the White House, obviously,\u201d Johnson said on Fox News\u2019s <em>Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo<\/em>. \u201cSo we\u2019ve not been able to have a law-making exercise to meet that critical objective.
