Ingraham to Mike Johnson Saying We Need ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform’: ‘That Sounds Like Amnesty’
EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "Yes, and our agenda is to enact this into law. We need real comprehensive immigration reform. We have needed it for a long time."
INGRAHAM: "That sounds like amnesty. That sounds like amnesty. Every time I hear the Republicans say that, it's like earned path to citizenship, then we have 20 million, you know, people who get their citizenship overnight. Every time I hear that, it drives me crazy. But you can explain."
JOHNSON: "Laura, no, no, we're talking about — no, we want to do the opposite of amnesty. If you do an amnesty program, you invite more people to violate the law. That’s exactly the opposite than what we need to do. We gotta begin on day one with securing the border. President Trump will issue an executive order, he has that authority under existing statutory law, but we have to come right behind whim a robust legislative agenda. We have got to do this for the American people, secure the border and turn to the catastrophe that’s been created by the border being open. It is complex, as you know. It is comprehensive. We are going to be dealing it for decades, but we're ready to go."
