WASHINGTON, D.C.—In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott appeared on Fox Business last night to discuss the ongoing government budget negotiations and slammed the Biden administration and Senate leadership for prioritizing Ukraine’s government funding and security while ignoring the budget and border security of the United States.

Senator Rick Scott said, “We need to take care of Americans first. Americans first, Americans first, Americans first. That means we have got to secure the U.S. border. We have drugs, terrorists, criminals, and human traffickers coming across the border—8 million people, unvetted, have come across the border. This is not that hard. Trump did it with the existing laws. We need a bill that forces Biden to secure the border.

…

“Let’s secure our border and let’s start talking about OUR budget before we start talking about Ukraine’s budget… We have spent more time in the Senate talking about Ukraine's economy and what we're going to do to help them than we are with our budget. We don't even talk about our budget on the Senate floor. We have no budget bills coming across. Schumer and McConnell need to get real and get this border secure, and let's fund our government before we worry about a government overseas.”
