WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) joined several Republican colleagues at a press conference earlier today to discuss the Biden administration’s creation of the humanitarian and security crisis at the southern border.

The senator also offered an amendment at the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs business meeting that called for completing the approximately 250 miles of unfinished border wall that is already paid for. Every Republican in committee voted to secure the border and every Democrat voted against.

A video from the press conference can be found here, from the Q&A here, and highlights are below.

Until Trump came along they had a bipartisan agreement to not secure the border at all.

Without a border, there is no nation, so no national security. It’s that simple. This nation is a place and a people (at least it used to be), not an idea.

Every President since Eisenhower until Trump left the border wide open and refused to enforce the law.
