(The Center Square) – There aren’t many surprises from Wisconsin’s members of Congress about the latest proposal to deal with the flood of people illegally crossing the southern border.
Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany on Monday said the plan will leave the southern border open and will continue to allow thousands of people to cross the border each day. ‘
“Any border “shutdown” that allows thousands of illegal crossings a day is a failure,” Tiffany said on social media. “And the Biden-Senate Amnesty Sellout allows up to 8,500 in a day.”
Tiffany added President Biden could end the country’s border crisis today, if he wanted to.
“Joe Biden could shut down the border right now using this law if he wanted to. He chooses not to,” Tiffany added. “The Biden Border Invasion is a choice.”
Wisconsin’s Republican Sen. Ron Johnson said pretty much the same thing during an interview on Fox News on Sunday.
“So, the problem that Senate negotiators have had dealing with this administration, and Democrat senators, is that President Biden and Democrats want an open border. They caused the problem. They’re the root cause,” Johnson said.
