During a recent speech, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott criticized President Joe Biden's approach to immigration and border security, contrasting it with former President Donald Trump's policies. Scott highlighted a specific incident where Trump met with the family of Lakin Riley, who was murdered by an undocumented immigrant in 2022, while Biden apologized for using the term 'illegal' to describe the perpetrator.
Scott expressed his disapproval of Biden's focus on terminology rather than addressing the issue of violent crimes committed by individuals who enter the country illegally. He emphasized the need for a president who prioritizes the safety of American citizens by implementing stricter border control measures, such as building a wall along the southern border and reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy.
Furthermore, Scott criticized Biden's State of the Union address, describing it as lengthy and focused on socialist policies that involve extensive government spending and increased taxation. He contrasted Biden's approach with Trump's emphasis on tax cuts in 2017, which he credited with boosting economic growth, lowering unemployment rates, and fostering optimism among Americans.
Scott highlighted the positive impact of Trump's tax cuts on various demographic groups, including African-Americans, Hispanics, and women, suggesting that these communities are increasingly turning to the GOP due to its commitment to empowering individuals to control their own financial futures.
