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.”
Jordan and McClintock said they sent letters to NYPD, NYCDOC, and New York City district attorneys demanding records on sanctuary policies, ICE detainers, and immigration-related communications, with responses due June 10, 2026.
The committee's letters log shows Jordan, Issa, and McClintock sent sanctuary-policy letters to San Francisco and San Diego law-enforcement officials on June 2, 2026.
The letters log records a June 4, 2026 request for Fairfax County prosecutor Steve Descano to testify before the committee, reflecting ongoing sanctuary-policy oversight.
Assessments
Jordan has taken concrete same-term actions on the issue through House Judiciary oversight, including hearings and letters pressing sanctuary-policy and ICE-compliance matters. But the evidence provided shows investigative and oversight activity, not a completed federal outcome that secured the border, robustly enforced immigration laws nationwide, and fixed the legal immigration system. Because he is still serving in the relevant federal office context and the record here shows ongoing effort rather than a clearly completed or definitively failed final result, the claim is best judged unresolved for now, with credit for serious effort.
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.
