Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has suggested that the United States would need a second term of former President Donald Trump to address the influx of illegal migrants entering the U.S.-Mexico border.

In an interview with Fox News on Feb. 1, Mr. Scott said the U.S. border has become unsafe since President Joe Biden took office in 2021, with over 10,000 migrants caught crossing the border each day last month.
