(CBrief) – Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan believes that in order to secure the Southern border American have to be “willing to fight.”
“We have to look at someplace where – some must-pass legislation where we can do it. I think that’s probably more appropriate on the appropriation bills, which come up in September,” he said to Fox News host Sean Hannity on Fox News after he was asked if House Republicans would tie securing the border to the battle on the debt ceiling.
“But we have to be willing to fight because we saw over the last two days just how serious it is,” the representative said.
“When you got that volume of people and that number of people, it’s coming over. So, yeah, we got to be willing to fight, because Joe Biden is not going to just suddenly see the light and do the right thing. So it’s going to be up to us to fight,” he said.
“And understand, this was done intentionally from Day One. On Day One, Joe Biden said no more wall, no more remain in Mexico, no more deportation. And as a result of that we got all those facts and figures you just cited Sean,” the representative said.
“But, what we also got today and what we heard from people here in Yuma is how it overwhelmed their school system, their hospital system, their first responders, their law enforcement, border patrol. The cost to the folks here on the border and across the border and maybe most importantly now that is coming across the country,” he said.
Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz said that not one House Democrat nor Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas attended a House Judiciary Committee field hearing which took place that day on the border in Yuma, Arizona.
“Yeah. If your policies were the reason for five million illegal migrants coming across the border, and all the fentanyl that’s caused so much harm to countless communities, I don’t think I would show up either,” Rep. Jordan said.
“It’s coming to Florida, it’s coming to Ohio, it’s coming to New York City. Even Mayor Eric Adams said they can’t take anymore. That is why this is so serious and that’s why we have to change things and pass legislation out of our committee and out of the House, which we plan to do,” he said.
