House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) recently appeared on Fox Business Network's Kudlow to address the need for increased border security and the importance of having President Donald Trump back in the White House. Scalise stressed the need to prioritize national security by securing the border, implementing policies like 'Remain in Mexico,' and upholding the rule of law.
During the interview, Scalise highlighted the failures of the Biden administration, stating, "Under President Biden, our national security is at extreme risk." He pointed out the detrimental impact of Biden's energy policy on skyrocketing energy costs and the increased dominance of bad actors in the world, such as Iran. Scalise emphasized the need to "make America strong again" and lower costs for struggling families.
On the issue of border security, Scalise emphasized the urgency of the situation, describing it as "probably the most imminent [threat to national security] we've seen in years." He criticized Biden for creating policies that encourage illegal immigration and refusing to work with Republicans to find a solution. Scalise mentioned that the House had passed legislation, including H.R. 2, to secure America's border, but it has been sitting in the Senate without any action.
Scalise called for laws that enforce asylum laws and uphold the rule of law. He stressed the importance of following legal processes and stated, "If you just follow those laws, we won't have a problem." He criticized the Democrats for their disregard for the rule of law and their attempts to suppress opposing voices and empower federal agencies to target individuals.
In conclusion, Scalise reiterated the need for increased border security and the importance of President Trump in addressing the challenges facing the country. He stated, "Donald Trump knows what we need to do to get our economy moving again, to help those families who are struggling again." Scalise expressed confidence in Trump's ability to quickly bring the country back on track and urged the Senate to take up the House border security legislation to address the crisis at the border and prioritize national security.
