President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris over her newly announced plans to visit the southern border just weeks ahead of the presidential election.
The 45th president blasted the news in a Tuesday Truth Social post that referred to the delay as a “disgrace.”
“After almost four years, Border Czar Kamala Harris has decided, for political reasons, that it’s time for her to go to our broken Southern Border,” Trump began.
“What a disgrace that she waited so long, allowing millions of people to enter our Country from prisons, mental institutions, and criminal cells all over the World, not just South America, many of those coming are terrorists, and at a level never seen before!” he continued.
Trump accused Harris of trying to trick Americans and claiming she helped protect the border despite record numbers of border encounters under the Biden-Harris administration.
“She’s trying to con the public like she did a good job at the Border when, in fact, she has destroyed the very fabric of our Nation allowing 21 Million people in from places unknown. When Kamala is seen at the Border on Friday, she will pass Hundreds of Miles of Wall that was built by TRUMP, and it is Wall that WORKS!” Trump argued.
“When she speaks, be advised that this woman has allowed more than 21 million people into our Country, totally unvetted, and from places unknown. They are now creating criminal havoc all throughout the Country. Every State is a Border State! When she speaks, I hope everybody remembers that she has caused our cities, towns, and Country itself, tremendous damage, and only I can fix it!” he concluded.
The Trump campaign released a long list of details related to problems at the border under the Biden-Harris administration over the past four years.
“No eleventh hour visit by Kamala Harris to the southern border this week — her first in 1,187 days and the clearest indication yet of her humiliating desperation — can mask the unbearable devastation she has unleashed on innocent Americans,” the campaign statement read.
“It’s a con job. Kamala opened the door to tens of millions of unvetted illegals from the worst parts of the world and imported violent criminals, terrorists, and gang members who have stolen Americans’ jobs, housing, and sense of security,” the statement added.
The evidence over the past two weeks included a Mexican national who was deported during the Trump administration and later returned when President Joe Biden was in office who “pled guilty to brutally murdering his girlfriend and dumping her body along a highway.”
Another example from Dormont, Pennsylvania, noted that an illegal immigrant who reentered the U.S. after being deported “was arrested in a fatal hit-and-run that claimed the life of a 23-year-old man.”
