    House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ripped the Senate's proposed border bill during an interview on Monday night, saying that it would "actually further incentivize illegal immigration."

    Johnson's remarks come after the unveiling of the bill sparked widespread backlash from top Republicans across the country, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former President Donald Trump, House Republican leadership, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

    "It would not resolve any of the problems, not reform in any meaningful way the broken asylum system, the broken parole process, and all the things that have created this catastrophe," Johnson told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. "And, by the way, meanwhile, it further empowers the very Cabinet secretary who designed and created this mess."

    "They don't follow federal law," he continued. "Why would we do this anyway? But the bill itself would actually do more harm than good, and that's why we have said it's a nonstarter over here in the House."

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.
