Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly delivers a scathing critique of President Biden's immigration policies during a prime-time television appearance.
According to Breitbart News, O'Reilly declared Biden's 2021 executive order terminating Trump's Remain in Mexico policy as the most significant policy mistake ever made by a U.S. president during his appearance on NewsmaxTV's "Rob Schmitt Tonight" on Tuesday.
The veteran television personality emphasized how Trump's final year in office saw successful efforts in controlling migrant caravans and reducing illegal border crossings.
These achievements were attributed to the cooperation between U.S. authorities and Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's deployment of soldiers along Mexico's borders.
O'Reilly outlined the stark contrast between the Trump and Biden administrations' approach to border security. The former president's strategy involved coordination with Mexican authorities, positioning military personnel along both Mexico's northern and southern borders to manage migration flows effectively.
The situation changed dramatically following Biden's executive order. Mexican forces were withdrawn from border positions, leading to what O'Reilly suggests was a significant increase in cartel activities and illegal crossings.
O'Reilly shared his perspective on the Mexican government's swift withdrawal of troops, suggesting possible cartel influence. Here's what O'Reilly stated about the situation:
Trump was successful, his last year in office in 2020, in tamping down migrant caravans and the tremendous infusion of foreign nationals, and to some extent narcotics, into this country because Obrador had to put his soldiers on the northern border with us and the southern border with Guatemala.
O'Reilly's criticism extended beyond border policies to a broader evaluation of Biden's presidency. He specifically addressed what he views as the deliberate creation of an open border situation by the current administration.
The television host expressed confusion over the rationale behind Biden's border policy decisions. He questioned why such changes were implemented without apparent solutions to address the resulting challenges.
O'Reilly offered additional thoughts on Biden's presidency, stating:
Biden's the second-worst president because he created problems. It wasn't that he was incompetent, he was, but he actually created this open border. Why? For what reason? Never fixed it, and it's been a catastrophe.
Bill O'Reilly's appearance on NewsmaxTV's "Rob Schmitt Tonight" highlighted his strong criticism of President Biden's decision to end the Remain in Mexico policy through executive order in 2021.
The former Fox News host emphasized the contrast between Trump's border control successes in 2020 and the subsequent changes under the Biden administration.
The discussion centered on the immediate impact of policy changes at the U.S.-Mexico border, with O'Reilly suggesting connections between Mexican troop withdrawals and increased cartel activity. His assessment portrayed the situation as an ongoing crisis stemming directly from executive decisions made early in Biden's presidency.
