Trump blasts Biden over surge of migrants: ‘Our country is being destroyed’

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• Former President Donald Trump slammed President Biden over his handling of the border crisis.
• Trump said the latest surge of illegal migrants at the border is destroying the country.
• Last week, Trump also attacked Biden in an email, writing: “Our border is now totally out of control thanks to the disastrous leadership of Joe Biden.”

Former President Donald Trump slammed President Biden’s management of the border crisis. Trump said the United States is being “destroyed” by the latest surge of illegal migrants at the border.

On Tuesday, Trump released a statement pointing to his border policy triumphs as president. He said the US-Mexico border was “in great shape” and was “stronger, safer and more secure than ever before” under his watch.

Additionally, Trump noted that the border wall “would have easily” been finished if not for Democrats stalling the project. 

“We ended Catch-and-Release, shut down asylum fraud and crippled the vicious smugglers, drug dealers and human traffickers,” wrote Trump. “The Wall, despite horrendous Democratic delays, would have easily been finished by now, and is working magnificently.”

Trump concluded: “Our country is being destroyed at the Southern border, a terrible thing to see!” 

Trump’s statement comes as the Biden administration faces down a huge wave of illegal migrants at the southern border.

The “overwhelming” number of migrants seen at the border had Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ask for volunteers in his agency to help deal with the border crisis.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) shut down three border checkpoints in Arizona as the agency has trouble dealing with the giant flux of migrants.
