Speaker Johnson's stance on immigration and decentralization

When it comes to immigration, Speaker Johnson prioritizes border security and enforcing immigration laws at the US border. He aims to reduce asylum standards and has supported bills that critics argue could undermine the asylum system. However, unlike some of his peers, Johnson has not endorsed or sponsored bills to cut legal immigration across the board, positioning himself as less anti-legal immigration. From an institutional perspective, Johnson vows to decentralize the House, allowing for more input from rank-and-file members and empowering committees to have a greater impact on legislation. He has also expressed openness to the idea of a fiscal commission, highlighting his concerns about spending and debt, although the specific details of the commission are yet to be determined.
