Trump describes Biden as the worst president in U.S. history due to his immigration policy

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, launched an attack this Wednesday against his predecessor Joe Biden, whom he labeled as "the worst president in the history of the United States," accusing him of allowing a "criminal invasion" through the nation's southern border.

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump claimed that millions of people, including murderers, drug traffickers, and former convicts, have entered U.S. territory due to Biden's immigration policy, which he described as "dangerous" and "poorly conceived."

"Sleepy Joe Biden has allowed millions of criminals, many of them murderers, drug traffickers, and individuals released from prisons and mental institutions around the world, to enter our country through his open border," he stated.

Trump emphasized that he was elected "to get these killers and thugs out of here," and promised to do so in fulfillment of his duty as president.

The message from the leader comes against a backdrop of political tension, with migration once again at the center of the national debate.

The president's message comes in the context of a tense political climate, with migration again at the center of national debate. Since returning to power in January 2025, Trump has pushed a series of measures aimed at dismantling the immigration policies established by the Biden administration.

Similarly, this Wednesday, Secretary Doug Burgum, the current Secretary of the Interior, transferred administrative jurisdiction over approximately 110,000 acres of federal land — located along the United States-Mexico border — to the U.S. Army, a measure that will be in effect for the next three years.

According to the official account of the White House rapid response, this action is in response to what they consider "a real threat" at the southern border.

“We are facing a real enemy. We need to ensure the security of the border,” they stated in the post, reinforcing the administration's discourse on immigration control as a national security issue.

One of the first actions was to try to eliminate the humanitarian parole program that benefited migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, a decision that would leave more than 530,000 people who were already in the United States under that special status in a state of uncertainty.

However, federal courts have temporarily blocked some decisions of the Executive, including the revocation of the parole program.

Trump also eliminated the CBP One application, used to schedule asylum appointments at the border, replacing it with a new platform, CBP Home, which critics claim is designed to facilitate self-deportation processes.

Recently, the president declared on Tuesday his intention to offer a financial stipend and a plane ticket to immigrants who are in the country illegally and choose to self-deport.

With these actions, the current administration has significantly hardened its immigration stance, reviving a tough rhetoric that raises concerns among immigrant communities and rekindles political polarization around this key issue for the country.
