WASHINGTON — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson today suggested that the GOP is responsible for the growing border crisis because it has not approved the Senate’s June 2013 immigration rewrite that is backed by President Barack Obama.
He suggested that migrants are now crossing the border while wrongly hoping they will be included in the amnesty that is part of the Senate’s bill.
“There is a lot of anticipation [among potential migrants] about what comprehensive immigration reform would do, but it needs to be clear [to new border-crossers] that if the Congress acts on the pending legislation, the earned path to citizenship is for those who have been in the country now for a year and half, not those who are crossing today,” he said.
