A Florida Senator stands in opposition to a potential refugee resettlement sought by Democrats in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Sen. Rick Scott cites “pressure building from the radical left” in his opposition to Temporary Protected Status along with Deferred Enforced Departure for Palestinians in the United States.
Democrats made a formal call for such within weeks after the Oct. 7 attacks that led to Israeli retaliation against Hamas ever since, and Scott’s office says there’s “chatter” of a renewed effort, which led him to speak out Tuesday.
“I am gravely concerned about the pressure building from the radical left for President Joe Biden to allow thousands of Palestinians to come to America. This would continue the disturbing trend we have seen from Democrat Presidents of allowing unvetted and potentially dangerous individuals from nations and states that hate America to pour into our country. It cannot be allowed to happen again,” Scott said.
The Senator went on to note that the “FBI has repeatedly warned of the serious threats America faces from terror cells that are growing here in the United States.”
FBI Director Christopher Wray “detailed the significance of these threats to me in a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing last year, and reiterated the danger we face during yesterday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing,” Scott added.
“We cannot ignore these warnings and the massive threat of terrorism that President Biden has allowed to grow within the United States,” Scott continued, noting that “European nations are taking action right now to stop terrorism tied to Gaza and the October 7th attacks on Israel.”
“Given these reports and dire warnings from the FBI, I will do everything in my power as a United States Senator to block the Biden administration from bringing in refugees from Gaza, which have already been rejected from resettlement by Egypt and Jordan, and putting even more Americans at risk of terrorism on U.S. soil. Any resettlement must happen in the region, not the United States.”
Scott’s Office noted that the Senator has clashed with a Democratic administration about refugee resettlement from the Middle East previously, but while he was Governor.
In 2015, Scott strenuously objected to then-President Barack Obama’s plan to resettle Syrian refugees in the U.S.

The most ” unvetted and potentially dangerous individuals from nations and states”…ever admitted to America were the Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th Century, followed by the English, in the early 17th Century. We have a history of “letting in” the folks either conquering America or “intending” to do so.
Sen. Scott is, arguably, about as bigoted as DeSantis, both of
whom have forgotten where their ancestors came from.

Not to be too profound, but neither Dee nor Rick have forgotten where they came from: relative obscurity and, in Scott’s case, a brief tenure in public housing. Now they put on airs and imagine they are integral member of the elite.

Just so you know Rick called me, Earl Pitts American, prior to releasing his above statement on not accepting any “Radicalized Since Babies Palastinans” into our country. And I approved Rick releasing the above op ed peice.
Basically, My Sage Patriots, you can now trust what Rick is saying the same as if I, Earl Pitts American, said it to you from now on.
Thank you America,

I could have guessed ole Rick’s position on Palestinians a hundred years ago.Although
There may be a possibility that he has illegal staffing at his mansion.
just a wild guess

Well, we know Trumplandia in Florida could not operate without the seasonal rotation of workers from the Caribbean and Latin America.
