Sen. Mike Rounds
May 11, 2021

Biden Administration
Sen. John Thune
May 11, 2021
Tweet - "Today's BLS report showed there were 8.1 million job openings in March, so why were only 266,000 new jobs added in April? Because many Americans are earning more on unemployment than they could in the workforce."
Sen. John Thune
May 11, 2021
Tweet - "I'm hearing the same thing from small businesses in South Dakota. They have job openings and are offering competitive wages and even some bonus benefits, but they just can't find workers because of unemployment benefits."

April 14, 2021
Border Security
Sen. John Thune
April 14, 2021
Tweet - "Conditions at our southern border are dire -- Ds can't deny it, so they're trying to hide it (by blocking press). Pres. Biden & VP should find time to see it. Maybe then they'll make needed policy changes. Until they do, good efforts by @CBP are just band-aids on a cracked hull."
Sen. John Thune
April 13, 2021
Tweet - "I confess I had missed the part in the Constitution that said the Supreme Court is only legitimate if a majority of its members were nominated by a Democrat president -- or at least reliably deliver liberals' preferred outcomes."
Sen. John Thune
April 13, 2021
Tweet - "If Democrats want to make impactful infrastructure investments, how about resuming (already paid for) wall construction at the southern border? Let's start there."
Sen. John Thune
April 5, 2021
Tweet - "Even Democrats agree this is the Biden administration's own crisis to fix. The president can start by reinstating policies that worked and enforcing our border. Border resources are overwhelmed. The president can't afford to wait or ignore this any longer."
Sen. John Thune
April 1, 2021
Tweet - "Powerful footage exposing how smugglers/cartels are brazenly exploiting Biden's policies to traffic vulnerable women & children into our country at a profit of over $14 million/ day (special character). You can read about this crisis in the news, but you have to see it to comprehend the magnitude."
Sen. John Thune
April 1, 2021
Tweet - "Heard many stories of kids in dangerous situations b/c this admin made them a loophole to game the system: 5-year-old kids traveling alone, 2-year-olds w/ strangers -- CBP officers see it every day. Mr. President, this is what an open border looks like (special character)"
Sen. John Thune
March 31, 2021
Tweet - "As long as the Biden admin continues to implement policies that give the impression of an open, porous border, people are going to keep flooding into our country."

Letter to the Hon. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Hon. Kevin McCarthy, Minority Leader of the House of Representatives - Rep. Young Kim Joins Bipartisan Letter to House Leadership to Return to Regular Order
Rep. Dusty Johnson, ...
March 26, 2021
Tweet - "Being told by CBP that Biden border crisis was totally avoidable if this admin had listened to the warnings of our border experts. Once again, they caved to their political left, and the result is a humanitarian and public safety emergency, which is worsening by the day."
Sen. John Thune
March 26, 2021
Tweet - "Strong border security, enforcing immigration laws, stopping asylum abuse, and cracking down on the traffickers and cartels that prey on migrants are among the steps the administration should take to end the Biden border crisis."
Sen. John Thune
March 26, 2021
Tweet - "What I'm seeing on the border is harrowing: facilities are dangerously overcrowded, border patrol officers are overwhelmed & under-supported, smugglers (often w/ties to drug cartels) are profiting massively, hundreds of scared kids are on their own."
Sen. John Thune
March 26, 2021
Tweet - "Midnight on the Rio Grande -- visible lights from smugglers on the Mexican side of the border. Hearing stories that these smugglers are charging upwards of $6,000, much of which flows to drug cartels."
Sen. John Thune
March 25, 2021
Tweet - "POTUS claimed that the filibuster has been "abused in a gigantic way." There have been *zero* filibusters this Congress. So he must be referring to last Congress? Or the one before that? Or the one before that? You know, during the 6 years when Dems filibustered GOP initiatives."
Sen. John Thune
March 25, 2021
Tweet - "It's amazing that President Biden can still stand in front of the American people and talk about unity when he seems open to the idea of potentially cutting half the Senate out of the lawmaking process."
Sen. John Thune
