Trump blasts Biden on the border: 'This is a destruction of our country'

Former President Donald Trump on Monday excoriated President Joe Biden for his handling of immigration and the migrant surge at the southern border.

Just the News reported on Monday that the Biden administration was preparing to end familial DNA testing at the US-Mexico border, a process by which border officials can confirm the relationships between individual migrants arriving in groups so as to prevent fraud.

Speaking to Just the News's John Solomon and Amanda Head, Trump contended that the U.S. had "the safest border that we've ever had three years ago, we've never had a border anywhere close to it."

He further contended that his characterization of the border as "safe" extended beyond the conditions that would-be migrants experienced there and encompassed the overall state of activities, legal and illicit, across the Mexican frontier.

"It didn't only include people or women or men or anything, it included drugs, and it included human trafficking. We had the best border we ever had. And now we have the worst border I think in history," he went on. "I don't believe there's a third world country that has had a border like this."

He further applauded the work of the Border Patrol, but lamented that under current Biden administration policy, total illegal immigrants in the U.S. would amount to 15 million.

"But I think you know, there's going to be 15 million people by the end of the year and they don't know who they are, where they're from," he insisted. "They don't know where they're coming from. They come from prisons. They come from mental institutions, insane asylums, they're dumping everybody all over the world, not just the four countries that I talked about, including Mexico."

"They're dumping from all over the world, 129 countries, they're emptying out their prisons and their mental...

Are you referring to the Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis who would not be governor had President Trump not endorsed him two days before the election when his numbers were in the basement?

That Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis?

Trump has my vote regardless, but I would like to see him PROMISE to force-back every ‘immigrant’ who has bypassed our normal immigration process since Jan 21, 2021.

“It pains me but that would be an impossible promise to keep”

It is possible via cleaning up Latin America (which El Salvador is already doing itself) and then using E-Verify and no Welfare...making them want to leave. But yes, next to impossible to forcibly eject them.

He has already stated he intends to run a program like Ike's "Operation Wetback". Is that good enough for you?

You just repeated me saying that Trump has my vote. As to a rerun of Wetback, I haven’t heard that, might you have a link?

It was considerably more than "two days" before the election.

I merely pointed out that Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis would not be governor right now had President Trump not endorsed him two days before the election when his poll numbers were in the toilet.

How is that an "attack?"

Is it because it exposes Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis as a shameless, self-serving opportunist who cannot be trusted?

Too bad Trump didn’t do a God-damned thing to improve the laws Biden is flaunting. No E-Verify. No border security. He even SUPPORTED the Dream Act amnesty. He didn’t even finish the wall. Literally the only thing Trump did about the immigration crisis was Title 42, which temporarily delayed some illegal immigrants form coming in.

Not one fake news organization can dispute the facts.
