Appearing on Tuesday’s FOX Business Network broadcast of “Morning with Maria,” Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) accused the Biden administration of resisting any efforts to fix the porous U.S.-Mexico border. criticized.
Steube told viewers that President Joe Biden could have rectified the situation a long time ago.
“So Congressman, why are your colleagues in the Senate when Joe Biden is already overseeing 10 million illegal aliens? Why did they agree to this compromise version of the Senate agreement? Do you know what the speaker said? “House Speaker Mike Johnson weighed in on the Senate border agreement being negotiated regarding X,” said FBN host Maria Bartiromo. “Border closure authorities that allow even one illegal border crossing, he writes, are not a starting point. Thousands a day is outrageous. 5,000 a day before we get anything done. That number should be zero, says Mike Johnson. Mr. Congressman, why are our colleagues on the Senate side compromising on this situation now?”
“I don’t know,” Steube replied. “And I don’t know what our border has to do with the Ukrainian border or the Ukraine war, and I think it’s also a mistake to connect the two. But I would like to remind our viewers, Please, the House passed the Border Security Act last May, which means Mr. Schumer in the White House has to pass the bill to do what they need to do. That’s a blatant lie to the American people. On top of that, Republicans sent a border security bill to the Senate last May, but it sat idle because they didn’t want to secure the border. Joe Biden doesn’t need legislation to reverse the changes he made when he took office. We have all the same policies the Trump administration put in place that led to the border wall being built. He was in control of the illegal immigration issue.”
“And now people who were coming within a year under the Trump administration are coming in a week or a month because the president was putting policies in place to shut down the government.” he added. “Three years ago today, yesterday, he could have shut it down. But they don’t want that. It doesn’t align with their political objectives, so they subvert the Republican Party and we He’s going to blame the Republicans for not sending him a bill and basically giving him more money to hire more border agents to process more illegal immigrants. Deaf. Our country.”
