House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) addressed the issue of border security and grocery prices during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." He emphasized the importance of securing the border, citing the presence of dangerous individuals and the humanitarian cost of illegal immigration.

Johnson stated that President-elect Trump's plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants is a necessary investment in the safety and security of the country. He acknowledged the cost associated with the plan but argued that it is a small price to pay for the benefits it will bring.

Regarding grocery prices, Johnson expressed confidence that they will decrease under the Trump administration due to a return to "fiscal sanity" and "common sense." He highlighted the importance of reducing the tax and regulatory burden on businesses to stimulate economic growth.

Johnson did not provide an estimated cost for the deportation plan, but he asserted that the American people will support the effort. He also emphasized the need to prioritize the deportation of dangerous individuals.
