Migrants Cross Border Right in Front of House Republicans
Story by Rachel Dobkin  •
1d


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."

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Another reason that if the Congressional Repubicans don't shut down the government, unless there is some drastic action?

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
