The Radical Left has been trying to convince the world to hate Trump for years now. But people are instead standing up for him.
And now Trump has received defense from an unlikely ally that has Democrats infuriated.
Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) delivered a sharp critique of President Joe Biden’s handling of the southern border, while defending former President Donald Trump’s robust policies on immigration.
In an interview with Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC, Romney highlighted the ongoing border crisis as one of the most pressing issues under Biden’s administration, contrasting it with the stability during Trump’s tenure.
“People have been screaming about the border for all three and a half years Joe Biden has been president,” Romney stated.
“He’s not done anything to solve the problem of the border. That’s a huge issue for President Trump. I can’t understand why President Biden didn’t tackle this from the beginning.”
Romney emphasized that Trump’s strong stance on border security was a key factor in his 2016 victory and remains a cornerstone of his 2024 campaign.
The senator expressed bewilderment and frustration at Biden’s failure to address the border crisis effectively, suggesting that this negligence has only served to strengthen Trump’s position.
“If I were President Biden, I’d be all over that, and instead he served it to President Trump on a silver platter,” Romney said. “The issue of border security and illegal immigration was not a problem when President Trump was president.”
Under Trump, illegal crossings were significantly curtailed through policies like the Remain in Mexico program and increased border wall construction. These measures provided a deterrent effect, reducing the influx of illegal immigrants and enhancing national security.
“When Trump was president, he did a lot of things that sounded pretty ugly, but we didn’t have anywhere near the number of people that have come into the country illegally as we have under President Biden,” Romney explained.
“Biden should have done everything in his power, frankly, taken some actions that maybe the courts would have stopped, then he’d have a better argument saying, ‘Hey, Congress needed to act,’ but he never did that. As a result, the American people are saying, ‘Hey, I want something else.’”
The data supports Romney’s assessment. Under Biden, the southern border has seen record numbers of illegal crossings, straining local resources and creating significant security concerns.
This influx has overwhelmed Border Patrol agents and led to increased crime and drug trafficking across the border states.
Biden’s administration has faced widespread criticism for reversing Trump-era policies that effectively managed the border crisis.
The decision to halt border wall construction and the rollback of the Remain in Mexico policy are seen as primary contributors to the current situation.
These actions have signaled to potential migrants that the U.S. border is open, exacerbating the problem.
The senator’s remarks resonate with a growing number of Americans who are dissatisfied with Biden’s handling of the border crisis.
A recent poll shows that immigration remains a top concern for voters, and Biden’s approval rating on this issue is notably low.
The American people are looking for decisive action and effective leadership to address the challenges at the border.
