The Trump campaign criticized President Biden for an executive order on immigration he plans to sign, arguing that it prioritizes amnesty over border security. The executive order reportedly includes measures to restrict the border to illegal border crossers seeking asylum if the average daily encounters exceed 2,500, only reopening the border once the number drops to 1,500 or below. Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that the order would lead to the release of more illegal immigrants, facilitated by a smartphone app, and exempt minors from enforcement, which could encourage child and sex traffickers.
In a statement, Leavitt accused Biden of prioritizing amnesty over border security, alleging that the president is being controlled by radical left Democrats. The statement highlighted the crimes committed by illegal migrants and argued that the border invasion and migrant crime will not stop until President Biden is removed from the White House. Additionally, the statement referenced a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who allegedly killed two NYPD officers, using the incident to bolster their argument against the executive order.
Biden kicks off his fake border security press conference by immediately blaming others.

Former Trump advisor Stephen Miller also criticized the executive order, characterizing it as mass migration that cements the invasion. The Trump campaign’s statements reflect a wider conservative viewpoint on immigration, particularly as polling consistently shows it to be a top concern for voters.
In summary, the Trump campaign strongly opposes President Biden’s executive order on immigration, claiming that it prioritizes amnesty over border security and enables the release of more illegal immigrants, while exempting minors from enforcement. This sharp criticism aligns with broader conservative concerns about immigration policy.
