 Jordan: ‘Let the American people decide’ on border bill in November
by Nick Robertson - 02/05/24 6:12 PM ET

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) pushed back on a bipartisan Senate border security deal released this week, saying Congress shouldn’t consider it and instead make the issue the center of the 2024 election.

The bipartisan deal overhauls the asylum program, provides funds for thousands of new immigration officers, allows the president to shut down the border on an emergency basis and funds foreign aid priorities abroad.

“Joe Biden is not going to fix a problem that he purposefully created,” Jordan claimed in a Fox Business interview Monday.

He instead urged Congress to withhold federal funds for any immigration processing, effectively closing the U.S. to all migrants without exception.

“One sentence,” he proposed. “No money can be used to process or release into the country any new migrants.”

“Let’s say ‘time out’ and let the American people decide how we want to deal with this in November, when we have President Trump — who actually had control of our border — against President Biden,” Jordan said. “Let the country decide.”

I'm all for letting the country decide, but I'm not confident that the DEMS wouldn't finagle things so it was their decision.  Who in their right mind wants, Islamic terrorists, Chinese nationalists, militants, rapists, murderers, jihadists, etc., pouring into this country??
