Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott joined Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on his radio show Friday when the two claimed President Joe Biden is personally creating a border crisis by halting construction on the wall which borders Mexico.
Scott demanded that Biden "needs to get his rear down" to the U.S. southern border and immediately address an immigration problem "he created." Scott cited a recent spike in arrivals and said he doubts any sizable number of migrants are being tested for COVID-19. The Florida governor-turned Republican senator agreed with Kilmeade that part of the problem is Biden "not talking to Republican governors" in Texas or Arizona. The Biden administration paused border wall construction in January and has stated that many of former President Donald Trump's actions are being re-evaluated.
"There's reports of terrorists coming in," Scott warned listeners Friday. "All of the millions who come here illegally, the [cartels] flood the area with children...send people here from all over the world. What's [Biden] going to do to solve the problem he created? He created."
Scott said he has no idea how it's legal for the Biden administration not to use the previously-allocated border wall funds which was established by the Congress.
"You have to follow the law," the GOP senator said.
"You see the wall half done, these workers literally dropped their hammers and were immediately unemployed, about five-thousand were building the wall that we paid for!" Kilmeade said. "The money is sitting in our account and this is a personal, political move by the guy who is supposed to be above it all, 78-year-old Joe Biden."
