Jim Jordan: Freedom Caucus won't support joint immigration package with the border wall, DACA
by Naomi Lim | Feb 11, 2018, 12:58 PM

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, was adamant Sunday he would not accept an immigration bill dealing with both increased border security and a pathway for citizenship for so-called Dreamers, or immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children.

"I will support a package consistent with what the voters said," Jordan told "Fox News Sunday." "What they want is border security first. Build a border security wall, end the chain migration, get rid of this crazy visa lottery. Sanctuary city policy, get rid of those. Do those things first and then we will deal with the [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] situation."

He added Republicans who backed the immigration proposal being considered by the Senate rather than that of Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., in the House would likely hurt the GOP during the 2018 midterms.

Jordan wasn’t happy on FNS this morning about the budget undercutting some leverage points in the House.

He's right they will hurt the GOP.  People voted for Trump because he promised to get tough on illegal immigration.  That bill could have been penned by illegal immigrants its so bad.

I read some of the transcript.  He took aim...and rightfully so...at Paul Ryan.

Yes, they seemingly made a lot of concessions that would take negotiation power out of the equation.  On the surface, it looks like he’s using the immigration issue to restore relevance to the FC.  However, I think he realizes this is last stand territory on a major campaign issue, given the way Ryan sold conservatism out.
