Vice President Kamala Harris values illegal immigrants more than American citizens, according to a Thursday statement from the Trump campaign.
The latest release called the vice president’s handling of the border an “unmitigated disaster” and “complete catastrophe.”“New government data shows 101,790 illegal aliens were ‘encountered’ at the southern border in September – a 112% increase from the average September under President Trump (48,017) and STILL much higher than when Kamala took office (78,414),” the Trump campaign wrote.
“Kamala has presided over the worst border crisis in American history and it’s not even close – even when using government statistics, which vastly understate the true impact,” it continued.
The statement included statistics from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which reported that under the Biden-Harris administration that 10.8 million illegal immigrants” “have been encountered nationwide – excluding at least two million known ‘gotaways,’ a million via the Harris-Biden phone app, and millions via private flights.”
In addition, approximately 385 illegal immigrants on the terror watchlist have been encountered at the southern border, a number 28 times greater than during Trump’s administration.
Further concerns have grown in recent weeks over the large number of criminal migrants. According to research from the Trump campaign, “55,000+ illegal immigrants with criminal convictions have been encountered nationwide – including 2,200+ known gang members.”
Drugs have also continued to cross the border under Biden and Harris, including “69,000 pounds of deadly fentanyl has been seized at the southern border – enough to kill approximately 15.6 billion people.”
The number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. under the current administration is reportedly higher than than under all two-term presidents. According to the Trump campaign, “the migrant crisis cost taxpayers $150 billion last year alone – with state and local governments shouldering much of the burden.”
As RSBN previously reported, the U.S. Border Patrol Union officially endorsed Trump on Sunday during a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona.
Trump said he was “honored” to receive the support of the nation’s official border union.
“It’s a great honor,” Trump said. “They said it was unanimous. Thousands of people.”
Paul Perez, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, also shared his strong support for Trump during the rally.
“If we allow border czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country is going to go to hell,” Perez said. “The untold millions of people unvetted, who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries and every other crime will continue to put our country in peril.
“Only one man can fix that. That is Donald J. Trump,” he continued. “He has always stood with the men and women who protect this border, who put their lives on the line for the country.”
