Trump blasts Biden on the border: 'This is a destruction of our country'

Former President Donald Trump on Monday excoriated President Joe Biden for his handling of immigration and the migrant surge at the southern border.

Just the News reported on Monday that the Biden administration was preparing to end familial DNA testing at the US-Mexico border, a process by which border officials can confirm the relationships between individual migrants arriving in groups so as to prevent fraud.

Speaking to Just the News's John Solomon and Amanda Head, Trump contended that the U.S. had "the safest border that we've ever had three years ago, we've never had a border anywhere close to it."

He further contended that his characterization of the border as "safe" extended beyond the conditions that would-be migrants experienced there and encompassed the overall state of activities, legal and illicit, across the Mexican frontier.

"It didn't only include people or women or men or anything, it included drugs, and it included human trafficking. We had the best border we ever had. And now we have the worst border I think in history," he went on. "I don't believe there's a third world country that has had a border like this."

He further applauded the work of the Border Patrol, but lamented that under current Biden administration policy, total illegal immigrants in the U.S. would amount to 15 million.

"But I think you know, there's going to be 15 million people by the end of the year and they don't know who they are, where they're from," he insisted. "They don't know where they're coming from. They come from prisons. They come from mental institutions, insane asylums, they're dumping everybody all over the world, not just the four countries that I talked about, including Mexico."

"They're dumping from all over the world, 129 countries, they're emptying out their prisons and their mental institutions into the United States of America. And there's never been anything like this. This is a destruction of our country," he concluded.
