Border crisis escalates as lawmakers push for action, government shutdown possible

House Speaker describes border situation as a "catastrophe".

In a stunning turn of events, House Speaker Mike Johnson and over 60 Republican members of Congress embarked on a tour of the already notorious southern border, only to witness a catastrophe unfold before their very eyes.

Johnson, clearly shaken by the experience, described the situation as 'unconscionable' and emphasized the damage and chaos that the border crisis is inflicting on communities across the country.
