From the Economist July 10:
John Kerry:
John Kerry, who served as former President Joe Biden's "climate czar," lamented the Biden administration's border security polices, claiming that Democrats allowed the border to fall "under siege."
"The first thing any president should say, any president, or anybody in public life, is, without a border protected, you don't have a nation — I believe that," Kerry shared on the BBC's "Reflections" podcast. "If you're going to define your nation, you have to have a border that means something. We have a system. I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, 'I'm going to enforce the law."
The Congressional Budget Office reported that an average of 2.4 million immigrants entered the United States between 2021 and 2024, with 60% having crossed illegally, according to a Goldman Sachs analysis found. Kerry, who also served as former President Barrack Obama's Secretary of State, said Democrats turned a blind eye to illegal immigration, failing to rally behind policies which would strengthen the border.
"They just allowed the border to continue to be sieged, under siege," Kerry said. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration a top priority for his administration. Kerry affirmed that Trump is "right" to do so. "He was right," Kerry said. "The problem is we all should have been right. Everybody should have been right, doing the same thing, all moving in the same direction."
