Johnson Wants Border Control

 Let's see how long the Speaker holds out.

“We’ve delivered common sense legislation that will secure our border, but it’s been sitting on [Sen.] Chuck Schumer’s desk for seven months,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), told a press conference along the banks of the Rio Grande in Texas....

...That House fix — the H.R. 2 bill — is being sidelined by GOP Senators as they negotiate with Democratic Senators over a spending package, which includes $50 billion for Ukraine and roughly $14 billion to accelerate and hide Biden’s migration throughout the 2024 campaign year.

Hold out for control?  Maybe he will, maybe he won't.  Schumer will pull the old reliable "shutdown" card; that's when Republicans cower under their desks.
