MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Republican Senator Ron Johnson is leading efforts to block a deal on border security, the Wisconsin congressman recently said, adding that voters should be the ones deciding on the issue.
"I've got 14 of my colleagues to sign a letter to Republican leadership to hold a conference meeting when we return on January 8," the Wisconsin senator told host Laura Ingraham.
He then claimed that the border was "largely secured" before Biden came into office, blaming the Democratic president for what he called the current crisis.
"President Biden said that these policies were inhumane and opened up the border," the Republican senator said, adding that migration was "completely out of control."
Biden, who faces heightened pressure—especially from Republicans—to tackle the situation, introduced new legislation deterring illegal arrivals in May, including deporting people deemed unable to stay and banning their re-entry for five years.
The Migration Policy Institute believes the deterrence is wearing off because border authorities do not have enough resources to impose consequences on illegal migrants.
