U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has raised concerns about the national security threat posed by the Biden administration's open border policy. In an appearance on Fox News' America's Newsroom, Senator Scott highlighted the devastating impact of this policy on America's safety.

Senator Scott pointed out that millions of illegal immigrants have been motivated to journey to the U.S. and unlawfully settle in the country due to the open border policy. He stated, "10 million illegal immigrants will enter this country by the time we have the election this year. Somewhere around 300 people, either terrorists or suspected terrorists, coming into our country; sleeper cells waiting in our country. We need new leadership because we need America to be safe."

The senator, who has championed 10 pieces of border security legislation, emphasized the urgency of securing the southern border and implementing commonsense solutions to protect the American people. He questioned why the U.S. is helping to secure borders in other countries such as Israel and Ukraine but neglecting its own border. Senator Scott emphasized, "Do Americans not deserve to have a border that is secure so that Americans are safe? The answer is absolutely, positively, unequivocally, yes. So, let's make sure that whatever passes through the House and the Senate takes care of America first. We need to make sure that our border is secure. We are frankly the city on the hill, and that requires us to be safe."

The senator's remarks shed light on the urgent need for effective border security measures. With millions of illegal immigrants entering the country and the potential threat posed by terrorists and sleeper cells, the safety of the American people must be a top priority.

It is clear that the current open border policy is failing to protect the nation's security. Senator Scott's call for new leadership and a focus on securing the border is a necessary step in addressing this pressing issue.
