DEL RIO, Texas – Today, Senator Rick Scott visited the United States’ border with Mexico near Del Rio, Texas. Senator Scott received a briefing from state and federal law enforcement officers, including U.S. Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Air & Marine Operations and the Texas Department of Public Safety, on the massive national security and humanitarian crisis along the southern border being fueled by President Biden’s disastrous policies of amnesty and open borders. He also participated in an aerial tour with CBP of the Del Rio sector. Due to Biden’s open-border policies and refusal to uphold our laws, Title 42 is one of our last defenses at the border. Unfortunately, President Biden is allowing it to expire in the middle of this crisis.

Senator Rick Scott said, “I have been to the southern border three times since President Biden took office, and the crisis is worse each time I visit. It is a fact that the horrific amnesty policies and open border agenda of President Biden, along with the incompetent leadership of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, has caused a humanitarian crisis. America’s brave border patrol is working around the clock to keep Americans safe, and today I got to see that work firsthand. Unfortunately, they have zero support from Washington and now the one tool that was doing some good, Title 42, is going away. Fentanyl is flowing into U.S. communities and killing tens of thousands of our citizens. Reports continue to come in about migrants illegally entering our country committing horrifying crimes and known terrorists are walking into American communities. Joe Biden has surrendered control of America’s border to the savage cartels and this is the result. Enough is enough. It’s time for the Biden administration to secure the border and send a clear message of law and order. It would be great for Biden to make that announcement himself and come here and see the crisis he’s created.”
