President-elect Donald Trump sought to connect the New Orleans New Year’s Day terrorist attack to his tough-on-immigration doctrine weeks before he’s set to retake the White House — a sign that his stance on cross-border migration will include the flow of ideas and not just the physical movement of people.
“With the Biden ‘Open Border’s Policy’ I said, many times during Rallies, and elsewhere, that Radical Islamic Terrorism, and other forms of violent crime, will become so bad in America that it will become hard to even imagine or believe. That time has come, only worse than ever imagined,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social.
