Occurrences
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.
Evidence
The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement scheduled a hearing for May 14, 2026 titled “Fairfax County, Virginia: The Dangerous Consequences of Sanctuary Policies.”
Assessments
Jordan has materially pursued the stated immigration strategy through House Judiciary oversight and by supporting major border-security and immigration-enforcement legislation such as H.R. 2, which passed the House in the 118th Congress. But the promised outcome was broader than holding hearings or passing a House-only bill: securing the border, robustly enforcing immigration laws, and fixing the legal immigration system. The available evidence does not show that this comprehensive federal outcome was enacted or completed, and the May 14, 2026 hearing is oversight activity rather than delivery.
