Cox said he's fed up with Congress using immigration as a political football and not addressing the human and economic crisis at America’s border, saying he’s passionate about immigration reform and calling Congress “imbeciles” who “should all get fired.”
“We do need more immigrants in our country,” Cox said, “we have so many job openings right now in the state of Utah and other places that cannot be filled.”
Those poor security efforts are not just an issue President Joe Biden hasn’t addressed, Cox said, and other administrations have also failed. But it wasn’t solely on the White House to fix immigration, he said. Immigration reform, Cox said, is an issue where he thinks Republicans and Democrats are aligned. But, growing more passionate during his two-minute-long response, Cox criticized Congress for neglecting its responsibility to address the country’s immigration crisis, and, instead, using the issue as a political cudgel.
