During the recent Presidential Debate Simulcast, former President Donald Trump criticized President Biden for the ongoing crisis at the southern border, accusing him of dismantling a once-secure border and turning the U.S. into what he described as a 'rats' nest.'
The United States is currently experiencing a significant border crisis, with a surge in migrant encounters that have broken previous records. While there has been a recent decrease in numbers from the peak in December, the situation continues to strain communities across the country, with reports of high-profile crimes committed by individuals who entered the country illegally.
Republicans have attributed the border crisis to policies implemented during the Biden administration, while the administration has called for additional funding and reforms from Congress to address what they describe as a 'broken' system.
During the debate, Trump highlighted specific crimes, such as the tragic murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, allegedly committed by two Venezuelan illegal immigrants in Texas.
The debate underscored the ongoing challenges at the southern border and the differing perspectives on how to address the complex issues surrounding immigration and border security in the United States.
