Fox Anchor Spars With GOP Congressman For Focusing On Mayorkas Instead of Border Solutions: ‘He’s Not Going to Get Impeached’

Fox News host Neil Cavuto sparred with Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) on Monday over the U.S. Senate’s bipartisan border deal, which the House GOP opposes.

“Frankly, their solution basically says just go ahead and raise the standard to nearly 2 million illegals per year. And fundamentally, nothing about the emergency authority granted by the bill or imposed by the bill really forces the president to even take action. He didn’t accidentally implement these policies. He did it on purpose,” Davidson said during the interview, detailing his opposition.

“Just want to be clear, and you’re quite right on all of the, about the 2 million and that minimum that we could still see 4 or 5,000 a day, that’s built-in as a baseline. There are a lot of variables to that. But, you know, you talk about 2 million to come in versus the 8 million coming in right now. It’s a start, let’s say, of the Republican nominee, if Donald Trump wins, that’s the wind behind his back. And he can slap the more serious measures that you want to see when he becomes president,” Cavuto pushed back, arguing is not better to do a flawed something than nothing at all.

“Well, I certainly hope he does. But the idea that we’re going to lock into law, the law today says none. So why would we concede to make it 2 million? The answer is we don’t accept illegal immigration,” Davidson pushed back.

“Right. The reality is it’s 8 million. And the law doesn’t stipulate that either. And I agree with you on the numbers that you’re looking at. But, isn’t it better to start something and to try to force a ceiling on this than one that just goes up, up up up, up,” Cavuto pressed.

“No. See your solution, that’s why Republican politics is like NASCAR. Everyone gets in the race and just starts turning left. When are we going to do? What we said we would do. They create a giant problem. Make it 8 million people. And you say, oh, such benevolence from the Democrats. They’re going to make it 2 million. No, it’s a terrible plan. We should lock in zero,” replied Davidson.

“But, if we don’t lock in anything. And I understand what you’re saying. Your colleagues have been saying that the president has, with just the flick of a pen, he can undo a lot of this, but he’s not undoing a lot of it, and he’s not undoing a lot of the things that you said happened under Donald Trump. This forces him into some position, weak, as you may argue it is and sets the stage for a Republican president. That’s the case who comes in and then goes even further, in that gap then, sir, you don’t have anything getting done,” Cavuto pressed again.

“Oh, well, what’s going to happen is Mayorkas is going to be impeached. He’s earned it. He’s violating the law,” Davidson said, referring to the secretary of homeland security.

“He’s not going to be impeached, you know that,” interjected Cavuto.

“He is going to be impeached by the House,” shot back Davidson, adding, “We can’t control the Senate.”

“I know that, but he’s not going to lose his job,” replied Cavuto.

“Well, maybe not, but he should, and so should Joe Biden. And so all we can do is make the case to the American people and ask them to send reinforcements. So hopefully they do. But in the meantime, look, we should commit to say, absolutely, we want to fund our government. This bill doesn’t even fund our government. It funds Ukraine’s government. It funds Israel’s government, it funds Indo-Pacific stuff, all with borrowed money or really printed money. It makes inflation worse. It makes immigration worse,” Davidson concluded.
