Presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden for removing his “successful” border policies and triggering an illegal immigrant crisis in the country while warning that the situation will become dire once Title 42 ends.

“Under my leadership, we had the most secure border in U.S. history so far. We replaced catch-and-release with detain-and-deport. One of my most successful policies was Title 42, which allowed for instant expulsion of any illegal alien who crossed our borders. Anybody. If they were bad, we got them out. We got them out fast,” Trump said in a May 4 video. Trump’s Title 42 public health order gave the American government the power to automatically expel illegal immigrants.
