Fox News
Former President Donald Trump hammered President Biden over the border crisis and the effect it is having on the United States in a fierce presidential debate.
The U.S. has been facing a historic border crisis, with numbers of migrant encounters that have repeatedly smashed records. While numbers have dropped sharply in recent months from a record high in December, the crisis has overwhelmed communities across the U.S. there have been a number of high profile crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Republicans have blamed Biden-era policies, while the administration has said it needs more funding and reform from Congress to fix a "broken" system.
