Representative Mike Johnson (R-La.) acknowledges the difficulties faced by Republicans in passing immigration-related reforms amidst a Democratic-controlled Senate and the Biden administration. Johnson highlights the narrow majority held by Republicans in the House, which limits their ability to overcome resistance from within the party. Despite frustrations expressed by Republican representatives who feel their agenda is not being sufficiently addressed, Johnson emphasizes the need for unity and collaboration within the party. He attributes the current challenges to the presence of individualistic members who prioritize their own views over collective action. Johnson compares the situation to a football game, stressing the need for a strategic approach that focuses on gradual progress rather than ambitious, but unrealistic, goals.
