Former President Donald Trump has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of her upcoming visit to the US-Mexico border. Trump accused Harris of undoing policies enacted during his administration, leading to what he described as an 'invasion' of undocumented immigrants.
During a news conference at Trump Tower, Trump questioned Harris's motives for visiting the border, suggesting that it plays into the hands of her opponents. He expressed dissatisfaction with her handling of border issues, stating that she has done 'the worst job, probably in the history of any border.'
Trump also raised concerns about the impact of undocumented immigrants on American communities, describing them as 'infecting our country' and 'destroying our country.' He highlighted the strain on resources such as schools, claiming that migrants are taking seats from students and not speaking English.
Trump praised his administration's efforts to secure the southern border, particularly mentioning the 'Remain in Mexico' policy that President Joe Biden reversed. He criticized Biden for assigning Harris to address border issues, stating that she has done a 'horrible job.'
While Biden initially tasked Harris with leading diplomacy with Central American countries to address migration factors, Trump emphasized his belief that her performance has been inadequate.
As Harris prepares for her border visit, the criticism from the former president underscores the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies and border security in the United States.
