Trump Blasts Biden for ’Open, Really Dangerous’ Border as He Visits Migrant-flooded Area

By Staff, Agencies

Ex-US President Donald Trump lashed out at his successor, incumbent POTUS Joe Biden, for a dramatic surge in illegal migrants at the country's southern border.

"There has never been a border so secure as the southern border that we had, and now it’s opened up," Trump said as he visited Texas on Wednesday, adding "now we have an open, really dangerous, border. More dangerous than it’s ever been in the history of our country, and we better go back fast."

"We had all these great polices going and they were ended. One day, they were all ended. This didn’t take place over three months or five months. This took place in the first week, they were ended. It was almost like they were ended because I did it," he pointed out.

The former US president joined Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott on a Wednesday tour of portions of the US-Mexico border to call attention to the immigration crisis in the region.

Abbott has vowed to finish construction of the wall in Texas in order to stem the flow of illegal migrants. He also pledged to ramp up the presence of state police at the border, as well as arrest and jail people caught illegally trespassing on private property, as he said that "securing the border is not just important to Texas - it is vital to America."

"The people of Texas have been pleading for us to be able to step up and help restore safety and security in their lives and this is exactly why Texas is stepping up and doing a job that is truly the federal government’s job – a job that you did but a job that the Biden administration is completely failing us on," Abbott said, describing Trump as "a great friend to Texas" who "stepped up and he secured our border and kept Texas and America safe."

At his first post-presidency rally in Ohio on Saturday, Trump said that Biden had "dismantled America's border defenses and incited a flood of illegal migrants like this country has never seen."
