Grounded: FLA Senator Marco Rubio Says Stop Biden's Migrant Flights, 'Blatant Mockery' of the Law'

Florida Senator Marco Rubio says the GOP must push to end President Biden’s illegal migrant flights that have brought hundreds of thousands of migrants across the border and into communities nationwide.

“Rubio is renewing his opposition toward the Transportation Safety Administration’s now 2-year-old policy that allows illegals to board U.S. flights despite no photo ID or verified information,” NEWSMAX reports.

“Thankfully, this year’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill provides an opportunity to scrutinize our government’s insane flight rules to appease illegal immigrants,” Rubio wrote in an op-ed for Newsweek. “Congress’ purpose is clear: We must outlaw the use of arrest warrants as identification.”

“Lawful U.S. citizens are subject to reasonable photo ID requirements when they fly, but illegal immigrants with potential ties to terrorist organizations or gangs can make do with less?” Rubio wrote. “Perhaps the Biden administration’s bureaucrats have forgotten why we instituted flight safeguards in the first place: because Sept. 11, 2001 taught us how disastrous it can be to let the wrong people onto planes.”

Further, he said President Joe Biden’s inaction in undoing the policy is steeped in his unwillingness “to admit [Donald] Trump was right” and weakness “to buck the open-borders extremists in the Democratic Party’s base.”
