The House Judiciary Committee will hold its first immigration hearing Wednesday as illegal crossings at the southern border continue to break records under President Joe Biden.
The committee’s hearing, called “Biden’s Border Crisis — Part One,” will kick off what is expected to be a series of hearings as the committee ramps up its scrutiny of the Department of Homeland Security and works toward immigration reform legislation.
The chairman said he was struck by a comment Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Dick Durbin made during last year’s annual consultation that the top Judiciary members in the House and Senate have with cabinet officials to assess refugee admission caps. Immigration reform, whether it comes in piecemeal or as an overhaul bill, typically must pass through the Judiciary Committee before the full House can consider it.
In contrast to Jordan, a 16-year veteran of the committee, Moore is brand new to the panel this year and hoping its first hearing sheds light on the “humanitarian crisis” at the border. Rep. Andy Biggs questions Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as he testifies before Judiciary at the Rayburn House Office Building on April 28, 2022, in Washington, DC.
