President-elect Donald Trump has strongly criticized President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, blaming them for the recent increase in violent crime across the United States. Trump’s concerns were heightened after the deadly attack in New Orleans and the explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
Trump took to Truth Social to express his dissatisfaction, saying that Biden’s “open borders policy” has created an environment where radical terrorism and violent crime are rising to unprecedented levels. He further attacked Biden’s leadership, calling him “the worst president in American history” and an “absolute disaster.”
“I have said many times, at rallies and elsewhere, that radical Islamic terrorism and other forms of violent crime will become so bad in America that it will be difficult to even imagine or believe. The time has come sooner than ever thought.” Worse than that,” he posted.
The president-elect also accused Biden and his supporters of weakening the country and described them as “election meddling thugs” whose actions have caused irreparable damage to the country. Trump stressed the urgency of addressing the breakdown of security, national security, and democracy across the country, and demanded that the CIA get involved to prevent further deterioration.

Our country is a disaster, a laughing stock of the whole world! This is what happens when you have open boundaries, weak, ineffective, and virtually non-existent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their jobs. They are incompetent and…

He even attacked the Justice Department and the FBI, accusing them of “unlawfully attacking his political opponent, ME,” instead of focusing on the American people.
Trump’s criticism comes after two tragic incidents. In New Orleans, a pickup truck driven by Shamsud-Deen Jabbar plowed into a crowd, killing at least 15 people. The FBI is investigating Jabbar’s possible ties to extremist groups. In Las Vegas, an explosion occurred outside the Trump International Hotel, reportedly caused by firework mortars and camping fuel canisters. The suspect, a military veteran from Colorado, remains under investigation.
The Biden administration’s immigration policies have come under scrutiny, with some arguing that it has led to an increase in illegal immigration and a decline in border security. The Biden administration’s policies have created a crisis at the southern border with a significant increase in encounters and a lack of effective enforcement, according to a House Oversight Committee hearing.
