Florida Sen. Rick Scott ripped President Biden for running an “illegal” and “open” border — with the support of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats who he accused of acting as Biden’s “little robots.”
“The Biden administration is not following the law. They don’t care what the law is,” Scott said during an interview Sunday on 77 WABC radio’s “The Cats Roundtable” with host John Catsimatidis.
“Biden wants open borders. I don’t know why he wants open borders. I don’t know why he wants terrorists in our country. I don’t know why he wants criminals in our country. I don’t know why he doesn’t care about the rule of law. But Biden doesn’t care,” added Scott, a Republican running for re-election this fall.
Scott’s broadside comes as record numbers of migrants cross into the US from the southern border with Mexico, and New York City and other urban areas struggle to contain the relentless wave of thousands of asylum seekers pouring into their municipalities.

Both the Senate and House will discuss border security along with funding to help Ukraine and Israel fight their enemies early in the 2024 session. Republicans have resisted agreeing to release aid to foreign countries without a deal to tighten border security.
Scott, a former Florida governor, said Schumer and Democrats are carrying Biden’s water instead of doing what’s best for the country.
“Schumer told them to act like little robots which Biden wanted, that’s what they got. Biden wants open borders,” he said.

“We have to say, ‘we’re not going to do anything else, we’re not going to do Ukraine funding, we’re not going to continue to fund our federal government, we’re not going to do anything, unless we get a secure border,'” the senator added. that.
Scott claimed “we don’t need new laws … we need law enforcement.”
He also took shots at Mayor Eric Adams and other Democratic elected officials who boast that New York is a sanctuary city that welcomes all.
“Eric Adams and everybody else in New York City said that New York City is a sanctuary city. Oh my gosh! I think it’s only a sanctuary city on paper, because when they have an obligation now to do what they say they believe in, they don’t want to fulfill it,” Scott said.

The White House and Schumer had no immediate comment.
City Hall also had no immediate comment. But Adams has repeatedly said that immigration is the responsibility of the federal government and that Biden and Congress need to increase funding to help cities absorb tens of thousands of immigrants.
