John Kerry skewers Biden on border and says ‘Trump was right’

US-MEXICO BORDER, JUL 10 – John Kerry says Democrats’ immigration policies allowed a migrant surge at the US-Mexico border, giving Donald Trump political leverage, amid ongoing party debates on immigration strategy.

  • John Kerry, who served as Secretary of State, expressed sharp criticism of the Democratic Party for failing to secure the US-Mexico border during President Biden's administration, admitting that the border was effectively left "under siege."
  • Kerry said he told Biden the party had missed immigration issues for years and conceded that "Trump was right" about enforcing border laws.
  • Kerry made these remarks in a BBC interview amid a Democratic debate on whether pro-immigration policies hurt them in recent elections.
  • Border apprehensions dropped to just under 9,000 in May and totaled 5,414 between June 1 and June 22, reaching near-record lows according to U.S. data.
  • Kerry's critique highlights Democratic vulnerability on immigration that Republicans exploit politically, while enforcement actions in major cities provoke backlash.
