His remarks were made at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, where he was accompanied by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) on Friday. Johnson labeled San Diego as &#8220;the epicenter of the Biden-Harris border catastrophe,&#8221; attributing the situation to Democrats and urging Congress to enact an election integrity bill to prevent illegal immigrants from participating in U.S. elections. He claimed that approximately 16 million illegal immigrants have entered the U.S. since the Biden-Harris administration took office. Johnson specifically called out Harris, referring to her as &#8220;the border czar and San Francisco-radical,&#8221; and stated that she is accountable for the ongoing crisis. <\/p>\n<p>He expressed concern that even a small number of illegal immigrants voting could potentially sway important congressional races and impact the 2024 presidential election. Johnson accused the Biden-Harris administration of facilitating the entry of millions of undocumented individuals, suggesting that they believe this will lead to new voters. He emphasized that only American citizens should have a say in U.S. elections. <\/p>\n<p>Johnson also raised alarms about voter registration practices from the 1990s that he fears could enable illegal immigrants to vote. He pointed out that individuals seeking public benefits are often offered the chance to register to vote without needing to provide proof of citizenship, which he deemed &#8220;outrageous.&#8221; He criticized Harris for allegedly wanting to let illegal aliens influence American elections. <\/p>\n<p>While California law mandates that voters must be U.S. citizens and residents of the state, Johnson noted that the required documents for registration do not necessarily confirm citizenship. He advocated for the SAVE Act, which was recently passed by the House, as essential for maintaining election integrity. Johnson condemned Harris and 198 House Democrats for opposing the legislation that mandates voter ID requirements, reiterating that only Americans should determine the outcomes of American elections<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3142,"featured_media":2309814,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AP24135522776557.jpg.optimal.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[35231,4021,36406,4162,32076],"class_list":["post-2309805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-border-visit","tag-harris","tag-illegal-voting","tag-johnson","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/AP24135522776557.jpg.optimal.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2309805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2309805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2309814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2309805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2309805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2309805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
