Summary

During his address to a joint session of Congress last month, President Biden called for Congress to come up with bipartisan immigration reform. This is something lawmakers in Washington have been attempting for decades, but with zero results. On the FOX News Rundown earlier this week, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke to Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) about the current crisis at the border, what the Biden Administration can do differently and why Republicans and Democrats can never make a deal on immigration despite there being apparent common ground on some issues. The interview was too long and we could not include it all in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Rep. Waltz. In this extended version, Rep. Waltz had a dire warning about China, calling the nation "the existential threat of our time." He says China is using its access to rare and critical minerals as leverage against the U.S. and could make it harder for Americans to manufacture things as vital as ammunition. This is something the Republican congressman sees as a national security threat. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
