Speaker Mike Johnson's Maiden Floor Speech

Published | Video Starts at 29:11

Understanding who enters and enforcing our immigration laws are critical components to maintain a sovereign country. If you do not have sovereignty, you do not have a country. I also believe that Border security is part of our solemn obligation to safeguard the well-being of our citizens and uphold the principles that define who we are as a nation. In no sense is border security somehow an act of hostility to neighboring countries. It's exactly the opposite. Because a weak border weakens America. And a strong border is good for America. (29:11–29:21)
