On Tuesday's broadcast of FOX News Channel's “Special Report,” Biden's chief campaign manager, Quentin Fawkes, said the situation at the border was worse under President Joe Biden's presidency than under former President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee. When asked if it was better, he answered as follows: “President Biden took office and sent a comprehensive immigration reform package to Congress. They refused to pass it or do anything about it.”
Fulks said: [relevant remarks begin around 2:30] “First of all, Brett, what I want to say about immigration is we need to look back. Donald Trump had a four-year deadline to do something at the border and he did nothing. And now what we have is, in fact, Donald Trump put immigrants in cages. He separated families. …Joe Biden will reunite these families. But when it comes to immigration…
Then host Bret Baier interjected and asked: “Wait a minute, I'm not saying the immigration and border situation is better under the Biden administration.” [was] Under the Trump administration? is that what you're saying?
“Brett, what I want to tell you is that President Biden took office and sent a comprehensive immigration reform package to Congress. They are not going to pass it or do anything about it,” Fawkes said. They are holding grandstands and playing political games.”
Then, Coach Baier said, “He decided to stay in Mexico. [C]I touched it and let go, and he flipped over. He changed the situation on the border. ”
“Donald Trump has rounded up immigrants, separated families and put them in cages. That's not how we treat human beings,” Fawkes said.
Mr. Baier then interjected and asked a question. “There are more children in custody under the Biden administration than under the Trump administration. You know what? So, listen, we have to acknowledge that immigrants are vulnerable to the Biden campaign. That's Don't you accept it?”
“Look, what we recognize is that President Biden is working on this issue, and Republicans in the House are playing politics and following Donald Trump's orders, so we're not getting real results,” Fawkes said. That means no.'' And in fact, that's why they're the most inefficient House of Representatives since the Great Depression, because they're not trying to get real results and they're playing politics instead of trying to work with this president on behalf of the American people. That's because I'm doing it. ”
