The main stream media has already began to harshly criticize the Biden administration and Kamala Harris for their “open border” policy on immigration which they say led to Kamala Harris’ historic loss to former President Trump.
Early Wednesday morning, former President Trump won the 270 required electoral votes to become president by winning all the swing states including Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. During an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” former host Chris Matthews harshly criticized Democrat’s lackluster immigration policies which he believed led to the major loss across the country up and down the ballot.

“Immigration has been a terrible decision for Democrats. I don’t know who they think they were playing to when they let millions of people come cruising through the border at their own will because of their own decisions, they came running through the border and they didn’t do a thing about it,” Matthews said. “And a lot of people are very angry about that, working people especially. They feel that they’ve been betrayed, they feel that their country has been given away, and they don’t like it.”
“And I don’t know who liked it. The Hispanics apparently didn’t like it, they want the law enforced. And so I’m not sure they were playing to anything smart here in terms of an open border and that’s what it is, an open border,” Matthews continued. “And I think it’s a bad decision. I hope they learn from it.”
During the very first year of the Biden-Harris administration, they initiated 296 executive orders on immigration with 89 targeting specifically the Trump immigration policies that were effective in drastically reducing the illegal immigration crisis. Not only did they eliminate Trump executive orders but also ended border security initiatives like the border wall construction and remain in Mexico policy which both demonstrated to work, with the full support of the U.S. Border Patrol.
