Recent Interview on Immigration:

Representative Jordan's official stance on immigration is as follows, "I am steadfastly against illegal immigration and amnesty for illegal immigrants. My strategy for dealing with the many problems posted by illegal immigration is threefold: secure the border, robustly enforce our immigration laws and fix the system so that it works for those who want to come to our country legally—by working hard, learning the language and becoming Americans. Our country has always been a nation of immigrants. In large part, this is what has made us great, but illegal immigration is unfair to the many people from around the world who want to come to the United States legally, as well as being a serious threat to our homeland security."

Recently Representative Jordan was a guest on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopolous," where he strongly criticized Democrats opposition to strengthening the border, building a wall, and their want to abolish ICE. He also emphasized the problem with drug trafficking across the southern border.
