Former President Trump’s daughter-in-law and Fox News contributor Lara Trump recently slammed the Biden administration’s false claims that the border is closed. Trump’s comments come after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas praised the administration’s response to the border crisis and its decrease in border officials.
Fox News reports:
“They can say that the border is closed. I can also say I’m a sparkly unicorn,” Trump told “Fox & Friends.”
“That doesn’t make it true. I think the bottom line is that we know that the people that are coming into America are not coming in through legal ports of entry. They are not coming in a legitimate way. They are coming in through the same channels they have been since Joe Biden took office,” said former President Trump’s daughter-in-law.
“And I think anyone that paid attention and they were all paying attention, people who had the plans to come here illegally, the entire campaign, if you saw Joe Biden, if you saw Kamala Harris, they both individually and together indicated if you wanted to come to America illegally, now was the time to do it under their watch,” Trump said.
Recently, Mayorkas doubled down claims the border is closed to Rep. Fleischmann after he noted that immigrants are flooding the border because there is no accountability for illegally crossing.
“No, it’s not,” Mayorkas replied. “The president could not have been clearer in his articulation of this administration’s position nor could I have been clearer and continue to be so, which is the border is closed and this administration administers and enforces the laws of the United States of America — and that is not only the laws of accountability but also the humanitarian laws that Congress passed years ago.”
