America’s Newspaper of Political Record—the UK’s Daily Mail—has posted a first-class op-ed by Donald Trump:
’Joe Biden created this illegal migrant invasion—and only I can stop it’: As BOTH 2024 frontrunners campaign at the border today, DONALD TRUMP gives Daily Mail his unflinching view of America’s No1 election issue. So where do YOU stand?, February 29, 2024.
Trump writes:
…do not be deceived. The abolition of America’s borders is Joe Biden’s policy. The mass-migration of millions of illegal aliens into the United States is Joe Biden’s plan. This is Joe Biden’s invasion.
When I left office, we handed Biden the most secure border in U.S. history…
When Joe Biden came into office, he willfully and deliberately obliterated every strong border policy I put into place and launched the largest border invasion in American history.
The extraordinary nation-breaking scale of this influx must not be forgotten: see James Fulford’s Illegal Border Crossing Numbers Worst EVER (See Chart) Which Is Why Biden Admin Released Numbers On Saturday.
Trump, not surprisingly, is fully alert to the political implications:
…do not be deceived. The abolition of America’s borders is Joe Biden’s policy. The mass-migration of millions of illegal aliens into the United States is Joe Biden’s plan…
The very first bill Biden sent to Congress was a bill to turn illegal aliens into voting citizens.
He concludes:
Joe Biden does not need a bill to solve the problem at the border … At any point in the past three years, he could have closed the border.
He has betrayed your trust, and with his demolition of our borders, he has betrayed our country.
A must-read summary of the situation.
But why does this op-ed have to appear in a foreign newspaper? Why not the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, or the Washington Post?
