Pence hits Dems over border crisis, touts Trump's success stemming illegal immigration

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday hit President Biden and Democrats for the escalating crisis at the southern border, while touting the Trump administration’s reduction of illegal immigration -- saying Biden inherited "the most secure southern border in American history."

Pence noted that a number of policies from the Trump administration, such as ending catch-and-release, the border wall construction, and the Remain-in-Mexico policy, have all been ended by the new administration. He and argued that the result is the surge at the border that has recently overwhelmed authorities and facilities. "For years, politicians promised to secure the border. Under the last administration, we delivered," he says. "And yet, in just three short months, the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress have unleashed the worst border crisis in the history of our country."
