Concerns about the bill not addressing border security
Senator Rick Scott expresses concerns that the proposed bill is not focused on border security, but rather on immigration. He argues that the bill does not effectively address the issue of securing the border and preventing illegal crossings. He emphasizes that the current administration has shown a lack of interest in securing the border and questions why a separate bill is needed when the existing laws could be enforced. Senator Scott believes that a bill should include measures to hold President Biden accountable for securing the border.
