YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday slammed Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his recommendations for the US on how to tackle the border crisis.

Obrador re-upped his suggestion the US should scrap sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo, grant citizenship to illegal immigrants from Mexico living in the US, and cough up $20 billion a year to assist beleaguered countries in Latin America as well as the Caribbean.

“Handing the reins of the Western Hemisphere’s security to communists in Cuba and socialists in Venezuela will only further destabilize the region and increase illegal immigration,” Johnson (R-La.) said in a statement.

“Likewise, mass amnesty will only serve to expand the Mexican cartels’ already growing and dangerous human trafficking operation.”
