Speaker Mike Johnson and President Biden spoke by phone about the harrowing migrant crisis on Wednesday and the speaker urged Biden to take executive action to close the border.
'Speaker Johnson spoke with President Biden today. The speaker strongly encouraged the president to use his executive authority to secure the southern border,' Johnson spokesman Raj Shah wrote on X.
