In a video posted on Truth Social, former President and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump vehemently criticized President Joe Biden’s new executive action on immigration, labeling it as politically motivated and claiming it would exacerbate the border situation.
Trump began by denouncing Biden’s leadership on immigration, characterizing it as a surrender of the southern border and attributing a surge in illegal immigration to Biden’s policies. He accused Biden of allowing criminals, drug dealers, human traffickers, and terrorists to enter the country and asserted that Biden’s executive order would fail to address the border crisis effectively.
According to Trump, Biden’s actions would only worsen the situation by facilitating a continuous influx of illegal immigrants, with millions being granted amnesty, welfare, government benefits, work permits, and jobs. He criticized Biden for prioritizing illegal immigrants over veterans and the homeless, alleging that Biden’s administration was advocating for illegal aliens to vote in elections.
Trump highlighted his own administration’s efforts in border security, including the construction of over 500 miles of border wall, which he claimed led to the safest border in American history. He pledged to prioritize border security if re-elected, promising to seal the border, stop the influx of illegal immigrants, and deport those who entered unlawfully.
Furthermore, Trump blamed other countries, including Venezuela, for sending criminals to the United States, leading to a rise in crime rates. He asserted that under his leadership, the U.S. would take decisive action to address illegal immigration and restore safety to the country.
The executive action taken by Biden, which allows for the closure of the border between points of entry when crossings reach a certain threshold, was criticized by Trump as ineffective and insufficient in addressing the border crisis.
But in fact, it’s all about Joe because he knows we have a debate coming up in three weeks. The truth is that Joe Biden’s executive order won’t stop the invasion. It’s weak and it’s pathetic; it will actually make the invasion worse. Millions of people a year will continue to pour across our border and be released into our country. And we recently learned Biden is secretly granting mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of these illegal aliens, along with welfare and government benefits, work permits and jobs. He’s not doing that, however, for our veterans. He’s not doing that for our homeless. He’s giving illegal aliens far more than our veterans get, far more than our homeless get.
Many of the left are even pushing for illegal aliens to vote in our elections, which is what this is all about. That’s why they’re allowing up to 20 million people since he took office. When I was president, we built over 500 miles of border wall, stopped the flood of criminals, and we had the safest border in the history of our country.
We need to secure our border once again. We need to secure our border once and for all. Crooked Joe will never get the job done. He doesn’t want to get the job done. It’s just words and misinformation because he could have done it very easily. All he had to do is say, “Close the border.” That’s the power of the presidency.
But when I’m elected, it will be my top priority. On day one, I will seal the border, stop the invasion, and send Joe Biden’s illegal aliens back home. They have to be sent back home because no country can sustain the damage that our country is sustaining. All over the world, crime rates are going down because all over the world, not just South America, they are sending criminals into the United States of America. They’re taking their drug dealers and their people in jail, lots of people in jail. They’re taking their murderers, killers, they’re taking them all and sending them into the United States. In Venezuela crime is down a staggering 67%. Because if you go to Caracas, if you go to different places, they’re sending their criminals into the United States. It’s a horrible thing. And that’s happening all over the world, many, many places, many countries.
We’re not going to let it continue. We’re going to get them out. We’re going to bring our country back to safety. We’re going to make America great again, greater than ever before. Thank you very much.
