With both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris refusing to see the Mexican border crisis first hand from the eyes of Americans dealing with it each day, President Donald J. Trump today said he will do it. Trump was invited to tour the border by Texas Governor Greg Abbott on an official visit to the southern border.
“I have accepted the invitation of Texas Governor Greg Abbott to join him on an official visit to our Nation’s decimated Southern Border on Wednesday, June 30, 2021,” Trump said, taking a jab at the Biden-Harris administration. “The Biden Administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in U.S history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in U.S history. It’s an unmitigated disaster zone.”
Biden has been accused of fueling the border crisis by inviting Central Americans to America since taking office by the presidents of several Central American countries. Later, after a visit to Guatemala, Vice President Harris told Central Americans to stop coming to America.
“Do not come,” Harris said at a press conference while visiting the Central American nation, “The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our border.”
Trump said since leaving office, the border has fallen into the hands of drug cartels and human traffickers.
“We went from detain-and-remove to catch-and-release. We went from having border security that was the envy of the world to a lawless border that is now pitied around the world. Biden and Harris have handed control of our border over to cartels, criminals, and coyotes,” Trump added. “Drug dealers, MS-13 gang members, human smugglers, sex traffickers, and the criminal elements of the world now have free reign. Hospitals and schools are getting crushed and public health is being sacrificed all in service of a radical left anti-borders agenda. Our brave border agents and courageous ICE officers have been illegally stopped from doing their jobs. Our Nation is now one giant sanctuary city where even dangerous criminals are being cut loose and set free inside the U.S interior on a daily basis.”
He also criticized the Biden-Harris administration for ignoring the plight of Americans and border security agents since taking office.
“If this weren’t bad enough, Biden and Harris won’t even tour the scenes of the wreckage they created, or come down and visit with the Border Patrol and ICE heroes risking their lives to defend our Nation at a time when the White House is doing everything it can to make their job totally impossible,” Trump added. “What Biden and Harris have done, and are continuing to do on our border, is a grave and willful dereliction of duty. My visit will hopefully shine a spotlight on these crimes against our Nation—and show the incredible people of ICE and Border Patrol that they have our unshakeable support.”
