Former President Donald J. Trump made a visit to Eagle Pass, a small town in Texas, to share his perspective on the current border situation. During his visit, Trump highlighted the tragic murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student at the University of Georgia at Athens. He attributed the murder of Riley and other victims to what he referred to as the “Joe Biden Invasion.”
In his remarks, Trump discussed his plan to regain control of the border and expressed his disappointment over the intentional dismantling of what was once the most secure border in history. This destruction took place on January 21, 2021, when President Joe Biden revoked the former president’s stringent and effective border policies.
Trump’s announced, “Three years ago, we had the most secure border in history, people weren’t coming because they knew they couldn’t get in, we weren’t promising free education, free medical, free everything.”
Trump continued by saying, “We ended catch and release, we built 571 miles of border wall, much more than I promised I would build.” Trump added, “We purchased another 200 miles (of wall materials), and they sold that — much of it for five cents on the dollar.”
