President Joe Biden and his administration came under fire from Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a former press secretary for the White House whose name has been floated as a possible running mate with her former employer, Donald Trump, for their lenient immigration and border control policies.
During an interview with Jesse Watters of Fox News, Sanders noted that Americans’ top concerns this election cycle have been border security, which has increased dramatically.
“Governor, why is it so hard to deport people who don’t belong here who kick cops, drive drunk, and steal my grandma’s Social Security number?” Watters asked at the top of the interview.
“Because we have a president who absolutely doesn’t care that millions and millions of people are coming across our border illegally. He has the power to shut the border down, to stop it. He can reinstate the remain-in-Mexico policy. He could actually build the wall,” she said.
“There is a lot of things he could be doing, and this simply is a complete and total failure by this administration. In the state of Arkansas alone, we seized enough fentanyl in the last year to kill every single person in our entire state,” Sanders added.
“That’s nearly 3 million people. Every man, woman and child. Enough fentanyl just in this state alone. It’s an absolute disgrace what this president is doing, and it’s another great example while in November he has to go, and Donald Trump has to be put back in place so we can secure our border and get our country back,” she said.
Watters interjected at that point: “Do think Joe Biden loves this country?”
“If he did, he certainly wouldn’t be trying to destroy it second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. That’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s allowed our economy to drop and our border to completely collapse. Our enemies certainly don’t fear us,” Sanders said.
She concluded: “Our allies don’t respect us. Literally, every single thing he does is at the destruction and demise of the people in this country. I think it is frankly totally disgraceful and disqualifying for him to be president of the United States if he cannot do the simple job of securing our border either at the south or the north.”
