Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin criticized President Joe Biden’s recent border order, alleging that it effectively encourages illegal immigrants to rush to the United States before a potential change in leadership. According to Johnson, Biden’s message to the world is clear: “Come as quickly as you can before the presidency changes.” Johnson went on to claim that Democrats desire an open border policy in order to secure more votes for Biden.
The Biden administration unveiled the specifics of the executive action, which offers permanent residence to certain non-citizens without needing congressional approval. This move has faced backlash from Republican lawmakers, including Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who raised concerns that it would only serve to incentivize further illegal immigration.

Senator Johnson further criticized the administration, accusing Democrats of seeking to facilitate cheating and using illegal immigrants for political gain. He suggested that even if these individuals cannot vote, their presence would impact congressional representation through the Census count, ultimately tilting the scales in favor of the Democratic Party.
Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott joined in the criticism, likening Biden’s order to DACA and accusing the President of essentially granting illegal immigrants a free pass into the country. Scott echoed the sentiment that this approach would only serve to incentivize more illegal immigration, a stance shared by many conservatives who believe in strict border control measures.
