"Far from the Truth": As Trump Vilifies Immigrants Again, Activist Erika Andiola Slams Trump's Lies

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt President Trump on Tuesday once again focused on the importance of securing the U.S. border and criticized former President Biden's so-called open border policies. He accused Biden of allowing migrants to "overwhelm" towns like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, and pushed for even more funding to implement his campaign promise of mass deportations. The Trump administration is "doubling down on creating this image that immigrants are to blame for every single one of their problems," says longtime immigrant rights activist Erika Andiola.
