In a bold move, Speaker Mike Johnson penned a letter to President Biden, urging him to take immediate executive action on the border crisis. With lawmakers being implored to take legislative action, the White House has responded sharply, criticizing the lack of progress on a supplemental request, which includes a staggering $14 billion for border security.
The White House spokesperson condemned House Republicans for refusing to address the supplemental request when President Biden presented it to Congress in October. Expressing their disappointment, the spokesperson further highlighted the decision of Speaker Johnson and House Republicans to adjourn in mid-December instead of addressing the urgent matter at hand.
