President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on former President Joe Biden in a recent tweet, calling him "THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES" and accusing him of allowing millions of criminals, including murderers, drug dealers, and individuals released from prisons and mental institutions worldwide to enter the U.S. through what Trump described as a "very dangerous and ill conceived Open Border".
Trump declared it his duty to remove these "killers and thugs" from the country, emphasizing, "THAT’S WHAT I GOT ELECTED TO DO. MAGA!". This statement comes amid the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to dismantle Biden-era immigration policies, including revoking parole programs that had allowed about 1.5 million migrants from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter legally with work authorization and protection from deportation.
The Trump administration has also introduced measures pressuring migrants to self-deport, such as canceling Social Security numbers and limiting access to financial services. However, these moves have faced legal challenges, with a federal judge temporarily blocking the revocation of certain Biden-era migration programs.
Trump’s hardline stance on immigration contrasts with his recent informal proposal to create a legal pathway for "great people" who self-deport and have employer support, signaling a nuanced approach toward undocumented immigrants.
The escalating rhetoric reflects deep political divisions over immigration policy, with Biden’s administration defending its approach amid criticism from Trump and his supporters. Biden has previously condemned Trump’s immigration reforms as damaging and destructive to agencies like Social Security.
This latest exchange highlights immigration as a central and contentious issue in U.S. politics, with Trump's comments fueling ongoing debates about border security, migrant rights, and executive authority in immigration enforcement.
