WASHINGTON – On Sunday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) joined 14 of his Senate GOP colleagues in sending a letter to Conference Chair John Barrasso, M.D. (R-Wyo.) requesting a meeting of the Conference the week of January 8, 2024 to discuss the negotiations with President Biden and Senate Democrats regarding border security.
Sen. Johnson was joined on this letter by Senators Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho.), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kan.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
The full text of the letter can be found below.
The Honorable John Barrasso Chairman Senate Republican Conference
Dear Senator Barrasso:
We write to request that you call a meeting of the Conference to discuss Senate negotiations on securing the border. Rushed and secret negotiations with Democrats who want an open border and who caused the current crisis will not secure the border.
The American public deserves an open and transparent process which cannot occur until the House returns the week of January 8, 2024. Accordingly, we request this Conference be held the week of January 8th, but not before.

What are they cooking up in secret Liz?
Joe Biden is too partisan to secure the border. He is never going to budge on it.
I believe they are trying to set a trap for open border Dems.
The Biden fake of allocating $14 billion for “border security” is flim flam......
Biden intends to fund the facilitation of even more illegals into our communities.
I don’t trust Johnson at all now after that meeting he had with Paul Ryan.
Seems this has come just in time for a day before Christmas betrayal which is what we usually get.
They can betray and go home to play until after New Years Day.
Republicant circle jerk v447.0
Let’s g by how he votes not who he talks with. Better Sen. Johnson than some faggot from Madison.
That was a different Johnson
There will be BS deal made to keep Ukraine money laundering op going. The rats will agree to “harsher” border measures which not even be enforced. Any new border funding will go to “processing” illegals and sending them into our country with a pre-paid credit card.
No it wasn’t. There was video.
You’re thinking of Speaker Mike Johnson meeting with Ryan last week. This is Ron Johnson we’re talking about.
Wow....so thrilling....what may come of this.
🙃
Oh Geez I was confused. Too many John....er too many fellas named Johnson. LOL
Too many Johnsons all over Capitol Hill lately. ugh
A sternly worded letter?
Snail mail or email?
These details are never made clear.
Big deal. The present Speaker met with a former Speaker. Why not?
Even if he agreed, he wouldn’t do it.
Even if he makes the deal, he'll never enforce it.
