Former President Donald Trump hammered President Biden over the worsening migrant crisis on Saturday, saying the US-Mexico border “has become a weapon of mass destruction — our destruction.”
“Our borders are open and gushing, it’s a huge wound,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Las Vegas, Nev., as he turned his attention away from the Republican primary contest and toward the November presidential election following his New event. Hampshire’s win on Tuesday.
“Nothing like this has ever happened to our country before … this is an invasion,” Trump said, acknowledging the record 302,000 immigrants who crossed into the US in December.
“And who hurts the most?” he asked.
“African Americans and Hispanics,” he said — two demographic groups whose traditional support for Democrats appears to be faltering, according to recent polls.
Biden and the Democrats “want open borders,” Trump declared, with the former president calling it “a betrayal of our country and an atrocity against the Constitution.”
“Yet Crooked Joe Biden is fighting to tear down that beautiful border barrier,” Trump said – referring to the ongoing legal battle between the state of Texas, which has instituted its own border security measures, and the Biden administration, which is suing to remove them.

“Instead of sending a restraining order to Texas, I’m going to send them help,” the former president vowed.
He also blasted Democrats’ “information leak” on the contentious Senate border deal that faced fierce opposition from some Republicans.
“Now Biden is trying to cool the American people down to say that the border is the fault of the Republicans,” Trump lamented.
“Biden’s so-called border security deal is designed to continue American aggression while sending millions to Ukraine,” he claimed.
“He doesn’t need a bill,” Trump said.

“It’s not that complicated. All Biden needs to do is re-implement every border policy of the former president, Donald J. Trump.”
Trump’s appearance in Silver State is meant to stoke enthusiasm for the Republican Party’s Feb. 8 caucus — even though the former president is the only active candidate on the ballot.
Nikki Haley, Trump’s only remaining GOP challenger, has ceded Nevada’s 26 delegates to her by choosing to participate in the state’s Feb. 6 primary, which local Republican officials do not accept as valid — and will not be used to award her delegates.
