Biden-era climate czar and Obama’s Secretary of State, John Kerry, admitted that President Donald Trump was “right” about the need for border security.
Speaking to the BBC’s “Reflections” podcast, Kerry acknowledged that the southern border was “under siege” during the last administration.
“The first thing any president should say – or anybody in public life – is without a border protected, you don’t have a nation,” Kerry said. “If you’re going to define your nation, you have to have a border that means something. I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I’m going to enforce the law.”
“Trump was right,” he stated. “The problem is we all should have been right. Everybody should have been right, doing the same thing, all moving in the same direction.”
Federal data shows a 90% reduction in illegal alien “got-aways” in June compared to the same month last year. “Border Patrol encountered just 6,070 illegal immigrants at the southern border in June — another record-setting low,” a White House statement says. Border Patrol recorded a single-day low number of illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border on June 28, with only 137 migrants.
“It’s a stark contrast to the Biden Administration, when approximately 10,000 unvetted migrants were illegally crossing the southern border every day at the peak of the invasion — most of whom were released into the country with little or no oversight,” the White House added.
Similarly, data from May reveals that zero illegal immigrants were permitted into the country’s interior. Comparatively, in May 2024, more than 62,000 migrants were released into the United States.
