‘Something For Every American’: Speaker Johnson Touts ‘America First’ Wins In Trump’s Megabill

House Speaker Mike Johnson Champions President Trump’s Transformative Bill
House Speaker Mike Johnson is actively promoting President Donald Trump’s comprehensive tax and spending bill, which he describes as a fulfillment of the Republican pledge to prioritize American interests. The bill, which has already cleared the House, is notable for its significant focus on border security and its record-breaking cuts to mandatory spending, the largest in the nation’s history.
Key Features of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
Johnson, in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation, highlighted the bill’s broad scope, which includes “historic investments in border security and mass deportations, tax incentives to encourage domestic economic activities, and strict measures to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing taxpayer-funded benefits.” He emphasized that the legislation offers benefits exclusively for American citizens, excluding illegal aliens and foreign entities that have exploited U.S. resources.
Enhanced Border Security and Immigration Enforcement
The bill proposes an allocation of $150 billion towards strengthening immigration enforcement, which includes the hiring of additional Border Patrol agents and customs officers. This move is part of a larger effort to accelerate President Trump’s deportation strategy. Paul Perez, president of the National Border Patrol Council, has praised this initiative as a monumental investment in border security.
Support for Border States and Crackdown on Illegal Benefits
Additionally, the legislation seeks to reimburse border states like Texas that have independently financed their border security measures due to the previous administration’s failures to control illegal immigration. The bill also introduces a new policy to impose penalties on states that provide Medicaid to noncitizens without federal approval.
Financial Measures to Deter Illegal Immigration

A notable financial measure in the bill is the imposition of a 5% fee on remittances sent by noncitizens to individuals abroad, which is projected to generate over $20 billion in the next decade. This fee is intended to support the President’s tax relief efforts and discourage illegal immigration.
Legislative Process and Future Prospects
Speaker Johnson expressed confidence that the Republican-majority Congress would successfully pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, emphasizing its alignment with the America First agenda. The Senate is expected to approve the bill shortly, with plans for a final House vote before it is presented to President Trump for his signature, ideally by the July 4 deadline.
The bill also includes several of President Trump’s key campaign promises, such as temporary tax exemptions on tips and overtime and the extension of tax cuts from 2017, aimed at preventing substantial tax increases on most American households.
Continued Advocacy and Public Support
Johnson’s enthusiastic support for the bill is mirrored in his social media, where he assures the American public of the GOP’s commitment to delivering substantial relief through this landmark legislation. As the bill moves through the Senate, Republican leaders remain focused on securing a swift passage to enact these critical measures that reinforce the administration’s America First policies.
