Sen. Ron Johnson blames DACA, Obama for border crisis
In a recent segment, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) expressed strong opinions regarding the ongoing border crisis, attributing a significant part of the issue to former President Obama's immigration policies and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He argues that these policies have played a pivotal role in increasing the flow of illegal immigrants and migrants to the U.S.
### Key Points from Senator Johnson's Statement
1. Criticism of DACA: Johnson claims that DACA has incentivized illegal immigration, suggesting that it creates a perception among potential migrants that entry into the U.S. is becoming increasingly accessible.
2. Obama's Immigration Policies: He also contends that the broader immigration strategies enacted during Obama’s administration laid the groundwork for the current challenges at the border. Johnson suggests that these policies failed to adequately enforce immigration laws, thus leading to the rise in illegal crossings.
3. Political Context: As discussions around immigration intensify, Johnson's remarks reflect a broader Republican narrative that aims to critique the policies of past administrations while rallying support for stricter immigration control.
