Rick Scott: Trump’s ‘Job Is to Keep Us Safe’

‘I think the president is in a tough position, but I believe he ought to use his emergency power to keep us safe’

EXCERPT:

SCOTT: "First off, I don’t think it’s the President’s first choice was to use his emergency power. But his job is to keep us safe. The Democrats, they’ll — I’ve been in D.C. for what? A little less than two months. The Democrats will say oh, we want border security, they just won’t fund it. They say we want to take care of the DACA kids. They just won’t do it. So the President doesn’t have a choice. We have to secure our border. I was down at the border a little over a week ago meeting with border security. They said we need more people, we need newer technology, their technology is very old, and we need some barriers to direct people where they should be coming in so we can make sure we have legal immigration and don’t have illegal immigration. So I think the President is in a tough position, but I believe he ought to be using his emergency power to keep us safe."
