“President Biden has systematically and unilaterally undermined border security. He has encouraged illegal immigration. Anything else he says is gaslighting from President Biden to the American people,” Hinson said. Ta. Breitbart News Saturday.
She continued, “The massive expansion of catch-and-release has destroyed our safety, not to mention the problems this will cause our country for years to come.” I will cause it,” he continued.
Boyle then asked about Biden’s assertion that Trump and MAGA Republicans are to blame for the border crisis. Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Breitbart News this week that the comments were “offensive.”
“Iowans have not accepted the fact that President Trump caused this. They know that President Biden caused this. Rewind the tape of his first day in office. At that time… We saw the numbers change dramatically. One of his first acts as president was to halt construction of the border wall. He issued a moratorium on deportations; “Then he had ministers come in and lie to Congress, including me, at an Appropriations Committee hearing on border enforcement,” she said.
Boyle then pointed out that President Trump has gained much of his energy heading into the 2024 election by focusing on the border crisis. In an interview with Breitbart News, President Trump called the border crisis “the migration of civilization into our country.”
Boyle asked Hinson whether immigration should be the “centerpiece” of the 2024 election.
Hinson agreed: “We absolutely should.”
She continued, “Look at the contrast, why I supported President Trump. If you go back three years, since Joe Biden took office, there have been 7 million undocumented people at the southern border. Migrants are being arrested, and that doesn’t even include fugitives.”
