Former President Donald J. Trump made baseless claims about President Biden smuggling violent anti-American forces across the border during rallies in North Carolina and Virginia over the weekend. Trump, who faces multiple criminal trials, accused Biden of conspiring to overthrow the United States by allowing foreign enemies into the country.
Despite lacking evidence, Trump has frequently blamed Biden and Democrats for the surge of migrants at the border, claiming they are encouraging illegal crossings to register them to vote. He also reiterated debunked claims of voter fraud from the 2020 election at the rallies, urging Republicans to ensure a turnout that is “too big to rig.”
The border crisis has become a focal point for Republicans, who accuse Biden of negligence and blame him for the influx of migrants. Democrats, on the other hand, point to global migration trends and criticize Republicans for blocking bipartisan efforts to address the issue.
Trump’s rhetoric on the border crisis has escalated, with him describing migrants as coming from “mental institutions and insane asylums” or being former prisoners sent by other countries. He plans to implement extreme anti-immigration policies if elected in 2025, including the largest domestic deportation operation in U.S. history.
Supporters at the rallies resonated with Trump’s claims, with many expressing concerns about the border as a top issue. The divisive rhetoric from Trump underscores the ongoing political battle over immigration and border security in the United States.
