Speaker Mike Johnson called the border an ‘unmitigated disaster’ and blamed President Biden for pushing the crisis to ‘breaking point’ during a visit to a migrant crossing hotspot in Texas on Wednesday. His trip to Eagle Pass comes days after it was revealed over 302,000 people crossed the border illegally in December , the highest total for a month in history. ‘The situation here and across the country is truly unconscionable. We would describe it as both heartbreaking and infuriating,’ the speaker said during a press conference with 64 House Republicans.
