U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has expressed concern over the Biden administration's open border policy and the recently released border "deal" that would only worsen the illegal immigration crisis. In an interview on Fox News' Fox and Friends, Senator Scott emphasized the need for President Biden to reinstate successful border security policies and enforce current U.S. immigration laws.

Regarding the Senate border deal, Senator Scott stated, "This deal is just too short. It doesn't get to the finish line, and more importantly, President Biden right now can get the job done. He does not need any legislative action." He further highlighted the potential consequences of adding more laws that would codify an additional 2 million illegal immigrants, asking, "How are we going to explain that to our constituents?"

Senator Scott also criticized President Biden for undoing the successful measures implemented by the previous administration. He emphasized that if these measures could be undone, they could also be reinstated, stating, "President Biden does not need legislative action to secure our border. That is simply a lie to the American people." The senator urged President Biden to demonstrate fortitude and take immediate action to address the border crisis.

Highlighting potential solutions, Senator Scott suggested that President Biden restore the Remain in Mexico policy and prioritize securing the border instead of implementing catch and release. He emphasized the need to finish the border wall, increase the number of agents, and ensure the safety of America under President Biden's leadership. Senator Scott criticized the President for prioritizing the politics of immigration over solving the problem of the "greatest invasion in American history" caused by the influx of illegal immigrants through the southern border.

Senator Scott's remarks reflect the growing concerns among Republicans and others about the Biden administration's handling of the illegal immigration crisis. As the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border continues to rise, there is a pressing need for effective border security measures and enforcement of existing immigration laws.
