In a bold and blistering statement, Senator Ron Johnson didn’t hold back his criticism of the Democrats, accusing them of only caring about the southern border crisis because it could harm President Biden’s chances of getting re-elected. The Wisconsin Republican didn’t mince words when he appeared on the Fox News Channel, slamming the Democrats for their lack of action. It’s clear that for Johnson, the current tidal wave of illegal immigrants has nothing to do with humanitarian concerns and everything to do with political posturing and gamesmanship.

According to Senator Johnson, the Democrats have finally taken notice of the border crisis, not out of genuine concern for national security or the well-being of American citizens, but because they fear it could hurt President Biden’s re-election prospects. It’s a shocking revelation that reveals the true motivations behind the Democrats’ sudden interest in addressing the crisis. Johnson didn’t hold back, emphasizing the urgency of the situation and the need for unprecedented action to address the unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants.
The negotiations over border security are currently underway in the Senate, as part of a larger national security aid package. Senator Johnson is among the conservatives calling for greater transparency from GOP leadership in the ongoing discussions. He expressed skepticism that any meaningful results would come from the negotiations, doubting that simply changing legislative language would amount to a real solution. For Johnson, the key is to not just tweak policies, but to take decisive action to stem the flow of illegal immigration and send a clear message to the world that the U.S. is serious about securing its borders.
