Trump warned that the wave of migration will “destroy our country” if we don’t do something about it, during a Fox News interview.
“[Lopez Obrador] is a great gentleman. We had a very good relationship. They had 28,000 soldiers on our border while we were building the wall … and they were also stopping them at their northern border by Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala,” Trump said.
“Today, they are coming in. You take a look. They are coming in from foreign countries. I see they are coming in from Yemen. They are coming in from the Middle East. They are coming in from everywhere,” he said. “They are dropping them off and they are pouring into our country. It is a disgrace.”
“They are going to destroy our country if we don’t do something about it.”
“Frankly, our country can’t handle [the increase in migrants]. It is a crisis like we have rarely had and certainly we have never had on the border. But it is going to get much worse.”
Meanwhile, in an interview with ABC News, President Joe Biden acknowledged that the situation at the border is deteriorating, and delivered the following message to migrants seeking entry illegally into the US.’
“Yes, I can say quite clearly: Don’t come over…Don’t leave your town or city or community.”
Beforehand, Biden dismissed the notion that he had somehow encouraged migrants to flood over the border with his rollback of Trump’s tough-on-immigration policies.
