Johnson Advocates Trump's Mass Deportation Plan Investment

House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed strong support for President-elect Donald Trump's mass deportation plan, describing it as an essential investment in national security. Johnson emphasized that securing the U.S. borders and deporting dangerous criminals are top priorities, despite concerns about the plan's financial cost. Although some estimates suggest the deportation plan could cost up to $88 billion annually, Johnson dismissed claims it would reach trillions, stating the exact cost is currently unknown. He argues that the American public backs this initiative, citing a New York Times poll indicating 87% support for deporting criminal illegal aliens. Johnson acknowledged the plan's financial implications but framed it as a necessary move to address crime and humanitarian issues such as drug trafficking and fentanyl-related deaths. Despite fiscal concerns, he affirmed that the deportation plan aligns with Trump's broader agenda to restore economic stability and national security.
