To say that Americans are frustrated with their government is an understatement. With each year that passes, polls show that Americans have less and less faith in lawmakers to do the job they were elected to do, and some lawmakers are taking issue with this. This week, Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R) commented on his priorities as a Florida senator and why pursuing "the safety and security of Florida" is crucial.
The website PolicySphere launched this week. It's a website that is dedicated to discussing policies, and in launching their website, they also shared a conversation with Senator Rubio.
Considering that he has been named one of the ten most effective senators in the country, Senator Rubio shared that he is diligently working on banning TikTok, protecting the United States from any threats from the Communist Chinese Party, and issues pertaining to the southern border.
"The mass migration issue and this administration’s unwillingness to abide by current law are particularly egregious. We have criminal gangs from Venezuela murdering Americans. Just this week, we tried to vote on an amendment that would require aliens who assault police officers to be deported. Who would disagree with that? Democrats wouldn’t allow the amendment to be taken up," Senator Rubio lamented.
In looking past the 2024 election, the Florida senator also shared that, should President Donald Trump (R) win the election, President Trump must work on reassuring the American people "that their government cares about what they care about."
"I’m not talking about 20-something Ivy League grads who work at consulting firms and volunteer for pro-Hamas protests on the weekends. I’m talking about everyday moms and dads who see a country in crisis and wonder why the politicians they elected aren’t doing anything about it," Senator Rubio expressed.
"I think what working people care about is simple: securing the border, stopping violent criminals, bringing good, high-paying jobs back, and restoring some sense of normalcy to our daily lives."
