The day after President Joe Biden ramped up his rhetoric on a border deal, former President Donald Trump again tried to undercut the chances of significant immigration reform this year.
“A bad border deal is far worse than no border deal,” the former president and GOP presidential frontrunner wrote in all-caps on Truth Social.
The bipartisan deal, which Senate negotiators have not yet finalized, could grant Biden’s administration the authority to shut down the border if pre-determined triggers for daily border crossings are met.
“What’s been negotiated would – if passed into law – be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country,” Biden said in a statement Friday.
