Biden’s plan to combat inflation? Hire more migrants. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) isn’t crazy about that idea.
According to an Axios report, the Biden Administration says they plan to fight inflation by pushing legal status for millions of ‘Dreamers’ to increase labor supply; Jordan asks “why not hire AMERICANS looking for jobs?”

From Fox News:
[Biden’s] plan, according to the report, will include the hiring of more so-called “Dreamers,” or “lawfully present” recipients of the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals program or Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act.
These people are eligible for work authorization in the U.S. as they wait for permanent residency.
According to the report, the Biden administration is looking to tackle two problems with one solution: As up to 14,000 migrants are expected to cross the border daily when Title 42 ends, the Biden administration is looking to get them into the workforce to lower inflation.
Jordan also stopped by Fox News to discuss the border and more.
