Last Friday Jen Psaki, press secretary of the White House, alleged that the immigration policies of the Biden administration are in no way comparable to those of former President Trump.
He also vigorously defended Joe Biden’s immigration agenda. Despite the fact that many Republicans mentioned that “… rhetoric and policies have stimulated an increase in migration on the southern border.”
Due to the above, Psaki replied to the former president in a press conference, after Trump criticized Biden’s immigration reform.
“We did not take our advice or advice from former President Trump on immigration policy, which was not only inhumane but ineffective in the last four years,” Psaki said. “We are going to chart our own path forward, and that includes treating children with humanity and respect.”
Former president criticizes the immigration agenda of the Biden administration
Donald Trump voiced strong criticism and mockery of the Democratic administration’s immigration projects. For he argued that Biden repealed many of his policies, which were aimed at preventing migration. For this reason, he argued that the current president’s decisions would lead the border to have a migration crisis.
“The spiraling tsunami on the border is draining local communities, depleting budgets, crowding hospitals and taking jobs from legal US workers,” the president explained in a statement.
“When I left office, we had achieved the safest border in the history of our country. Under Biden, it will soon be worse, more dangerous, and more out of control than ever. He has violated his oath of office to defend our Constitution and enforce our laws. “
The Biden administration is currently facing increasing influxes of migrants. Thousands of them are unaccompanied children, who have been detained in the first weeks of his rule.
The president and Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, denied that there was an immigration crisis like the one Trump commented.
In addition, they added that his administration implements new measures to address the issue of the growth of migrants at the border. They also stressed that extra facilities were opened to shelter migrant children.
“President Biden has asked senior members of his team to travel to the border region in order to provide him with comprehensive information on the government’s response to the influx of unaccompanied minors and an assessment of additional measures to be taken. they can take to ensure the safety and care of these children, ”said the undersecretary of press, Vedant patel, in a statement late Thursday.
