Jordan has to be coerced to want to protect our borders?

No, I think not. But the traitors who are threatening to vote the Dems into leadership, many of them could care less about the border.

Remember when the GOP controlled both Houses of Congress they said the USA couldn't afford to pay $7 Billion to build Trump's border wall.

But those same people have had no problem sending $100 billion to Zelensky and Ukraine.

I'm sure you know who the "soft on immigration" GOP crowd are.

McCarthy had the same problem dealing with them, you can read about it, if you don't know. (But I am pretty sure you do).

Washington Post:
Early rift over immigration exposes House GOP’s tough path to consensus

(excerpt)

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) and two other members of the Main Street Caucus, a group of self-described pragmatic Republicans, secured a commitment from McCarthy’s aides on Friday that the bill would go back to the House Homeland Security Committee rather than being fast-tracked to the floor, according to Bacon.

Here they are, most of the immigration squishes are part of this group, but some of the group may not be as bad (squishy) as others.

We still have to deal with the threat of Russia and China no matter what, and if Jordan doesn’t need to be persuaded on the border then that would account for why no Republicans are trying to persuade him about the border.

The relatively small amount we are spending in Europe that is accomplishing so much for our national defense and the future stability and safety of Europe in regard to the Russian threat, would not be transferred to the border.

I don’t know why you guys keep acting like the money to build the wall is the same money that is being spent on national defense interests in this massive European war that Russia is so bogged down in.
