House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, along with several other Republican representatives, criticized the Biden Administration's handling of national security and foreign policy issues during a recent press conference in Washington, D.C.

Scalise highlighted the dangers of President Biden's open border policies, stating, "People around the country want a secure American border, and President Biden, from his first day in office, set us on a course to have an open border to the tune of over 8 million people." He expressed concerns about the national security implications of allowing individuals on the terrorist watch list to enter the country freely, emphasizing that "President Biden opened up the southern border."

The House Republicans are taking action to address the border crisis, with Scalise mentioning a resolution to denounce the President's actions and their support for securing the southern border. He criticized President Biden for opposing a bill aimed at strengthening border security and for refusing to engage in discussions on the matter.

Furthermore, Scalise accused President Biden of turning his back on Israel, stating, "President Biden has walked away from the strong relationship we have with Israel." He condemned the Administration's failure to support Israel's right to defend itself and called for solidarity with the ally in the ongoing conflict.

Regarding the Administration's response to anti-American sentiments, Scalise criticized President Biden for not denouncing chants of "death to America" at a recent rally. He stated, "When you can't stand up to chants of death for America in America, and then you walk away from your ally Israel – this President has lost his way." Scalise emphasized the importance of standing united with Israel, especially in times of conflict, and called for bipartisan support for the ally.

In conclusion, Scalise and House Republicans are vocal in their opposition to President Biden's policies on border security and foreign relations, urging for a stronger stance on national security threats and a renewed commitment to supporting allies like Israel.
