Since returning from the El Paso sector of the southwestern border, Sen. Johnson has been sharing impressions and information learned from the trip.

Sen. Johnson's Wall Street Journal Opinion Column

Cartels are pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars ushering immigrants through Mexico. America's broken immigration system, our laws and legal loopholes sustain this wicked business model. Our laws must change. Once illegal immigrants realize we will not allow our laws to be exploited, fewer will risk paying human traffickers, and the flow will be reduced.
