    House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) promised to demand "transformative policy change" on the U.S.-Mexico border on Wednesday, just ahead of a planned meeting with President Joe Biden and other leaders on Capitol Hill.

    Johnson, who just recently returned from a visit to the border, has said on several occasions that any deal to secure additional funding and aid for Ukraine and Israel would necessarily be tied to funding and policy changes aimed at securing the border.

    Johnson shared a brief video via X ahead of the meeting, along with the caption: "Today I will tell President Biden directly: House Republicans are demanding transformative policy change to secure the border. The American people deserve nothing less."

    "We're not playing politics with this," Johnson said in the video. "We're demanding real, transformative policy change because that's what the American people need and deserve - and what they're demanding as well. House Republicans are standing on that line, and I will tell the president that today."

    "I've been saying it consistently since the moment I was handed this gavel," Johnson continued. "And that's never changed."

    Johnson went on to lay out some of the reasons that policy change was so important, noting that fentanyl was the "leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-49" and addressing the ongoing issue of human trafficking and sex trafficking of children.


    "The cartels on the border are making billions of dollars trafficking humans into the U.S.," Johnson added, echoing some of the concerns he raised during a recent interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper. "Sixty to seventy percent of the people that cross at the - Eagle Pass, which is the main funnel right now - are single, adult males between the ages of 18 and 40. These are not 'huddled masses' of families seeking refuge and asylum, these are people coming here probably with ill design."

    The meeting is scheduled to take place at the White House on Wednesday.

Understanding that there are two firm positions concerning the Open Border Crises, but many realties regarding its current, and, or projected real impacts to the functioning, sustainability of this Constitutional Republic: What position below best represents what you know to be true regarding this impactful policy?

  The United States' must continue the Executive initiative of Open Borders until a Democratic Congress can codify full Demographic Inclusion by keeping the Biden /Harris Open Borders policy in place.

  Our United States' borders are sovereign just as are our self-governed citizens, where borders must be maintained, monitored and defended, which is the position of core Republicans.

  I am in favor of Open Borders to make my America more of a global community; however, the federal government must now fix problems that "Red State" governors have caused in our cities.

  I do NOT favor the Democratic Socialists' disruption of the cultural fabric of my Representative Republic, and there will be Treasonous Hell to Pay when the certain calamity begins in earnest.

Should the Institutionalized Corruption of the Biden /Harris Administration, in this separate instance the Open Border Policy of our Sovereign Southern Border, be not only tolerated, but sanctioned by the raising of local spending by local politicians to pay for these now visible and known effects of rampant, and out-of-control Illegal Immigration?

  Yes, it is a kind thing to do, and a way that our county, our state can aid in this tremendous effort toward local federal foreign aid; and now, thankfully, in great abundance.

  No, our Constitutional Republic WILL NOT continue to exist, as our United States of America, if we do not control our sovereign borders, to protect our citizens, to keep them solvent and safe.

  I only consider what is topical and popular since my friends, too, only care to do the same.

The previous poll on Eastern NC NOW showcased what are many of OUR Constitutional Republic's certain obstacles to remain viable, where the top encumbrance to that continuance as a functioning Republic was the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border. Understanding this overwhelming concern to real America citizens: Do you believe it important to challenge the veracity of those legislated concerns of Democratic Socialists by transporting Illegal Migrants to their Sanctuary cities, counties and states for their direct care?

  Yes; test the depth of their "compassion" by giving Democratic Socialists an opportunity to enact all Sanctuary provisions in their communities to test how much they truly do care.

  No; the Biden /Harris Wide Open Southern Border Project is designed to only inundate "Red States" to begin their Demographic Upheaval for the benefit of we Democratic Socialists, our politics.

  I generally do NOT care about politics, but it is fun watching abject hypocrites squirm; maybe I will start getting more involved.

  Yes
