While Johnson was visiting, many of the same topics were brought up, including concerns about cuts to Medicaid. He said most folks won't be impacted.
'If you're on the program [as] an illegal alien, you're going to have a problem. If you are an able-bodied, young person without dependence at home [or] if you're a 27-year-old who can work but chooses not to, yes. Our work requirements are going to require you to volunteer, go to school, get in a training program, or go to work, and we do that because we want you to improve your life,' Rep. Johnson said.
South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden also answered questions from the students at USD on Wednesday.

NM Gov declines GOP's invite to visit ICE detention center
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, pictured in June at the Roundhouse, won't take New Mexico Republican lawmakers up on an invite to join a tour of the Otero County Processing Center in Southern New Mexico, where an average of 863 ICE detainees are currently held, according to a spokesperson. (Photo by Danielle Prokop / Source NM) Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's 'busy schedule' Monday means she won't join Republican lawmakers on a tour of New Mexico's biggest immigration detention center, a spokesperson for the governor told Source New Mexico on Thursday. New Mexico Republicans shared a letter on social media Wednesday announcing some members would be touring the Otero County Processing Center on Monday, and they invited the governor to come along. The detention center in Chaparral currently houses most of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees in the state, and its population has increased since President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown began this year. The governor's chief lawyer told an interim legislative committee in July that the governor was considering adding a measure to the agenda at an upcoming special session that would ban immigration detention facilities in New Mexico. Medicaid, ICE detention on agenda for forthcoming special legislative session 'Before we take any action with such far-reaching implications (for example, putting New Mexicans out of work and risking millions of federal funding), it is essential that we have a clear first-hand understanding of the conditions within these facilities and the operations that take place there,' Republican lawmakers Rep. Andrea Reeb and Sen. Crystal Brantley wrote in the letter. The letter went on to invite the governor to tag along for the visit at 8 a.m. Monday. 'We believe your participation would be instrumental in ensuring that any decisions made are fully informed and in the best interests of the people of New Mexico,' the Republicans wrote. In an email Thursday afternoon, Michael Coleman, the spokesperson for the governor, told Source that the governor won't join the tour and also hasn't decided yet whether she'll add an ICE detention facility agenda to the special session call. 'The governor has a busy schedule on Monday and won't be joining in the tour,' Coleman said. 'We're still working to determine a special session agenda, and no final decision has been made on this particular issue.' He also said the governor hasn't yet decided on a date for the special session, which her lawyer said she anticipated would happen later this month or in September to address federal funding cuts Congress recently enacted in the 'Big Beautiful Bill' act. Other crime-related measures could also be on the governor's call. Senate GOP spokesperson Brandon Harris told Source New Mexico earlier Thursday that delays around background checks likely mean reporters won't be able to join the lawmakers during their tour, but they intend to hold a news conference or otherwise provide an update to the public about the tour. That could be on social media or at a previously scheduled meeting of the interim Courts, Corrections and Justice Committee also occurring Monday in Las Cruces. But the governor, who hadn't responded to the GOP's invite as of 1:30 p.m. Monday, would be able to join if she wanted, he said. 'If anyone could probably get expedited [approval],' it's the governor, Harris said. 'If she wanted to, she probably could.' The GOP's letter said the CCJ committee canceled a long-promised tour of the facility, citing concerns about background checks. As of Aug. 4, the average daily inmate population at Otero County Detention Center is 863, an increase of about 60 inmates, on average, since December last year, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. The other two New Mexico facilities in Torrance and Cibola counties have average daily populations of 444 and 223 ICE detainees, respectively, according to TRAC. Solve the daily Crossword

JD Vance Torches Report Showing How Bad Trump's Budget Is
Vice President JD Vance on Thursday baselessly dismissed a recent report that exposed the regressive nature of the administration's economic agenda. During a Thursday visit to Georgia, a reporter with Atlanta News First asked the vice president to justify the fact that, according to a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Trump's spending plan will exacerbate the wealth gap. According to the report, the so-called One, Big Beautiful Bill Act will cost the poorest Americans an estimated $1,200 per year from 2026 to 2034, while furnishing the richest with an extra $13,600. Vance's reply? Sometimes, he said, the CBO's reports are 'absolutely atrocious, and I think this is a good example of a very atrocious report.' To defend the claim, he pointed to the bill's temporary no-tax-on-tips and no-tax-on-overtime provisions (which were, according to the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, 'designed in ways that limit their benefits for less affluent taxpayers'). Most importantly, Vance said, Trump's policies will keep jobs in the United States. But rather than explain how, he provided a quite circular argument: 'That is the very best thing for the people at the bottom of the income ladder, and that's why we have the economic policies that we do.' The vice president went on to tout the president's mass deportation campaign. Last month, when Vance was rallying for the bill's passage, he described its impact on the federal budget (as measured by the CBO) and its historic cuts to the social safety net ('the minutiae of the Medicaid policy,' as he put it) as 'immaterial,' in light of the billions it puts toward Trump's draconian immigration agenda.

Vance pitches Trump's sweeping new law as a 'working families' tax cut' in swing-state Georgia
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. -- Vice President JD Vance pitched President Donald Trump's sweeping new law as a 'working families' tax cut' during a visit Thursday to a refrigeration facility in swing-state Georgia, a preview of the midterm message that Republicans are expected to campaign on next year. In his third trip to promote Trump's tax cuts and spending bill, Vance cited its tax cut extensions as well as tax breaks on overtime and tips that he said 'rewards you instead of punishes you for working hard.' 'If you're working hard, the government ought to leave you alone,' Vance said in his visit to Alta Refrigeration, an industrial refrigeration manufacturing facility in Peachtree City, in metro Atlanta. Less than 20 miles to the northeast, Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff was also talking about the tax law but noting provisions that cut Medicaid and food stamps by $1.2 trillion. He pointed to reports this week from Evans Memorial Hospital, a rural hospital in Claxton, Georgia, where the facility's CEO is blaming the law for a $3.3 million hole in the hospital's budget. Bill Lee, the president and CEO of the hospital, told reporters that it might need to cut its intensive care unit. 'To be very blunt, I think it is embarrassing for the vice president to be coming to Georgia to sell a policy that is already resulting in harm,' Ossoff said in Jonesboro at the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce. The visits encapsulate how both Republicans and Democrats are seeking to capitalize on the president's signature law before the 2026 elections, where U.S. House, Senate and governor's seats are up for grabs. The races will give voters nationwide one of their first chances to weigh in on the second Trump presidency. In Peachtree City, Vance described the cuts to Medicaid as ensuring that people who are in the United States illegally are not receiving benefits meant for low-income people. 'It's not about kicking people off of health care," Vance said. "It's about kicking illegal aliens the hell out of this country, so that we can preserve health care for American families.' Vance was joined by two members of Congress, Buddy Carter and Mike Collins, and former college football coach Derek Dooley, all of whom who are running in the GOP race to challenge Ossoff next year. At the Alta Refrigeration facility, Vance stood in a warehouse in front of a large American flag and two banners that said, 'Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!' As he spoke to several hundred people, the vice president also said he was proud to have gone out in the District of Columbia with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday to visit National Guard troops that Trump has deployed in the city as part of a law enforcement crackdown. 'We've got to take America's streets back for the American people,' Vance said. He was asked if the administration expected to deploy troops in Atlanta, too. Vance did not directly answer but said the Republican administration has focused on the situation in the nation's capital. 'We hope the people see what we're doing in Washington, D.C., and follow our example all across the country," he said. Last month, Vance also promoted the new law in visits to areas in Ohio and Pennsylvania that are expected to have competitive U.S. House races next year. While Georgia will host a competitive U.S. Senate race in 2026, the congressional district where Vance stopped on Thursday is heavily Republican. It's represented in Congress by Republican Brian Jack, a former Trump aide who served in the president's first term as his political director. Before his stop in Peachtree City, Vance appeared at a closed-door meeting of Republican National Committee members in Atlanta. Vance is the finance co-chair of the RNC and has been leading fundraising efforts for the party.
