A video has shown migrants crossing the southern border right in front of House Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP lawmakers.
During a visit by Johnson and 64 other House Republicans to Eagle Pass, Texas—a city along the U.S.-Mexico border—on Wednesday, migrants were filmed and photographed walking through the Rio Grande, headed to the U.S. The migrants were mere feet away from Johnson and his colleagues.
Howard Mortman, C-SPAN communications director, posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday that showed Johnson shaking his head, before pointing the camera at the migrants crossing the river.
Founder of Punchbowl News, Jake Sherman, on X posted a photo showing people in the water behind camera crews and wrote: "Migrants are trying to cross into the United States literally feet from House Republicans and @SpeakerJohnson."
