Trump has criticised Biden's immigration policy

Trump in his statement has said, "The spiraling tsunami at the border is overwhelming local communities, depleting budgets, crowding hospitals, and taking jobs from legal American workers." Trump in his statement said that when he left office, they had achieved the most secure border but under Biden, it will soon be worse, more dangerous, and more out of control than ever before. He added that Biden has violated his oath of office to uphold our Constitution and enforce our laws. Biden administration’s Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday had defended Biden’s handling of US Mexico border immigrant crisis saying that it was ‘inherited’ and the whole system was gutted by Donald Trump. The new administration had to rebuild it entirely, “virtually from scratch.”
