Trump: Biden Didn't Mention 'Disaster' Border Situation He Created
Immigration,Border Crisis,Joe Biden
President Joe Biden didn't mention the border situation in his first joint address to Congress, but he's created a "disaster" there, former President Donald Trump said Thursday.
"One thing is that he didn't discuss the border and the fact that tens of thousands of people are pouring into our country, many of them criminals, many of them people from jails, many of them doing acts that you don't even want to know about," Trump told Fox Business's Maria Bartiromo. "They're pouring into our country by the thousands at a level that's never been seen before and (the Biden administration is) doing absolutely nothing."
Meanwhile, Biden stopped the construction of the border wall that was one of Trump's signature agenda items, and the former president said the wall would have been completed "if I didn't get sued by Congress and the Democrats every single moment."
"We beat those cases," he said. "We built most of the wall, almost 500 miles of wall and all we have to do is close up certain areas that we had to keep open until we gained title, and they just don't want to finish it. I heard they will finish it but by the time they do that, it could go very quickly."
