THREAD: How @JoeBiden and Barack Obama treated migrants coming across our southern border...
While Joe Biden was VP, migrant children being held in detention were allegedly kicked, punched, and threatened with sexual abuse newsweek.com/customs-and-bo…
While Joe Biden was VP, tear gas was used on migrants at the border at least 79 times after FY2012 factcheck.org/2018/12/severa…
While Biden was VP, court filings alleged the administration violated the Flores Agreement by confining minors in facilities that are not “safe and sanitary.” nationalreview.com/2019/06/what-t…
While Biden was VP, women and children died and were raped trying to cross the border illegally breitbart.com/border/2016/04…
These stories are heartbreaking, and they are the results of Democrats’ heartless open-borders agenda. Hundreds of thousands of people flooding our country’s border overwhelms our legal system and America’s ability to provide proper care while maintaining rule of law.
For months, Democrats and the media called it a “manufactured crisis.”
For months, Democrats in Congress did nothing to address the border crisis or fix our asylum system. For months, Democrats in Congress promised free government benefits to illegals, enticing them to make the dangerous journey.
Democrats’ lack of action on the border crisis was as heartless as their cold calculation that it would will benefit them politically.
Democrats’ only want ZERO law enforcement, MORE money for OTHER countries, and UNLIMITED amnesty in America. This only encourages illegal immigration, costs lives, and enriches corrupt countries, drug cartels, and human traffickers.
Democrats believe our borders should be meaningless, but true compassion means enforcing the law. Without borders and without the rule of law, we do not have a country!

Here's what you need to know ahead of Kamala's border drop-in today.
After manufacturing the worst border crisis in history, and ignoring the issue for 1,190 days, she wants to play hero — but it's really all about politics.
Here are the FACTS.
🧵 THREAD:
Kamala will claim illegal border crossings are "down."
In March 2021, Kamala was crowned "border czar" and illegal border crossings went one way: UP. The average number of illegal border crossings each month has nearly tripled under Kamala (196K/mo) over President Trump (50K/mo).
The number of illegals released into the country went from two-digit monthly releases under President Trump to five- and six-digit monthly releases under Kamala — and that doesn't include the illegals she ferried in through her phone app and migrant flights.
In fact, Kamala has failed to remove 99.7% of illegals released into the country's interior — and experts say they're likely here to say "indefinitely, if not forever."
Kamala will argue for "setting rules at the border and enforcing them."
That's total BS. Kamala *admitted* her policy was to "undo" President Trump's successful border security — and she made good on it.
One day one, Kamala terminated almost every Trump border security policy by halting the border wall, suspending deportations, terminating 'Remain in Mexico,' implementing catch-and-release, and much more.
There couldn't be more of a difference between the economic records of President Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris.
Americans were BETTER OFF under President Trump — and the proof is in the numbers.
🧵 THREAD:
GAS PRICES:
— Under President Trump, the national average for regular gas NEVER rose above $3/gallon. Under Kamala, it has been above $3/gallon for 1,229 days in a row — or 92% of her term.
— Under Trump, gas prices averaged $2.48/gallon. Under Kamala, gas prices have averaged $3.49/gallon, or more than a dollar higher.
— Under President Trump, gas prices fell below $1/gallon in 13 states. Under Kamala, gas prices hit new record highs in ALL 50 states.
HOUSEHOLD INCOMES:
— In President Trump's first three years, Americans saw a 10.5% boost ($7,690) in median household income — seven times larger than the 1.3% increase ($1,050) after the first three years of Kamala.
— Under President Trump, Black Americans saw a 9.2% increase ($4,540) — nearly twice as high as the increase under Kamala ($2,650).
— Under President Trump, Hispanic Americans saw an 11.7% increase ($6,960) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($700).
— Under President Trump, Asian Americans saw a 14.4% increase ($14,600) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($1,500).
— Under President Trump, White Americans saw a 10.8% increase ($8,320) — ten times higher than the increase under Kamala ($830).
MAKE NO MISTAKE: The would-be assassin of President Trump was egged on by the incendiary rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years.
🧵 THREAD:
Kamala Harris (repeatedly):
"Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms."
