In the shadow of his wall with Mexico, Trump condemned Joe Biden’s policies

In their cowboy hats, along with Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Sheriff, the former president attended a “border security” meeting in the small town of Weslaco on the south bank of the river. Texas.

“We have an open border now, very dangerous, more dangerous than ever in the history of our country,” he said.

“Destructive”

“Build the wall! This cry gave a break to his election meetings before his election in 2016.

For Republicans, this is clear: the billionaire’s program is working, but the arrival of Democratic President Joe Biden at the White House on the promise of a “more humane” immigration policy has fueled the catastrophic influx of immigrants.

“The situation under Biden’s administration has changed very quickly and deeply. It is unbelievably devastating,” said Governor Abbott.

The Tribune rediscovered this supercharged atmosphere in Ohio last Saturday.

In front of thousands of supporters, he repeated his baseless allegations about the presidential election, which had been “stolen” from him … and indirectly referred to the new presidential candidacy in 2024.

In Texas, he returned to these charges, although dozens of courts have denied it.
