.Jim_Jordan had some rare praise for the Biden administration as it prepares to implement a stricter immigration policy to deter asylum-seekers at the border. “A small step in the right direction. God bless them for finally doing something worthwhile.'
The guidance, which would take effect later this spring when the pandemic-era policy Title 42 expires, has been compared to a similar rule pushed by former President Donald Trump. Dozens of congressional Democrats have come out against it, but some Republicans see it as a move toward addressing the immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.“Good,” Jordan told NBC on Thursday when asked about the new asylum policy while visiting the border in Arizona. “A small step in the right direction.
Jordan, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, is in Yuma, Arizona, for a field hearing about the surge of immigrants at the border. Republican members of the panel will hear from officials dealing with the influx. Democrats are skipping the hearing, dismissing it as a political stunt.The Biden administration on Tuesday announced the new border policy, which would make immigrants who did not apply for asylum in countries they passed through prior to trying to enter the U.S.
House Republicans have pledged to use their new majority to hold President Joe Biden accountable for the spike in illegal border crossings. Jordan is leading the charge with Judiciary Committee hearings targeting the issue. The Yuma hearing is the second part of a series of hearings called"Biden's Border Crisis," with the first held in Washington, D.C., earlier this month.
