Former US State Secretary John Kerry has told the BBC that his fellow Democrats allowed the US-Mexico border to be “under siege” during the biden’s presidential post.

Sometimes in sharp words, Kerry – who was a Democratic presidential candidate in 2004 and an American senator of Massachusetts – said Biden said that the party was “lapse” over the issue of immigration over the years.

He said that it has allowed Republicans like Donald Trump to get political benefits.

The comments made during an interview with BBC special correspondent James Nuti underlined an ongoing debate within his party whether his supporter-migrants policies cost him in the recent elections.

Democrats have also wrestled how they should handle Trump’s recent nationwide efforts and handle efforts to deport unwarded migrants.

Kerry said, “Any president should first say – or any in public life – a limit is preserved, you do not have a nation,” Kerry said. “I wish, President Biden would have been heard more often, I am going to implement the law.”

Such words are avoiding an acquaintance for Trump during their time in national politics and the 2024 Republican Party Niti Manch.

But Democrats – many of which advocate a route for the immigration laws and citizenship for unspecified migrants – tried to portray Trump’s positions as rigid and discriminatory.

According to Kerry, it was a mistake.

“Trump was right,” Kerry said. “The problem is that we all should have been right.”

In the first six months of Trump’s second term, the US -Maxico has fallen near the illegal crossing records on the border – although Democrats began the trend below during the final year of the Biden Presidency after tightening some refuge rules.

The Trump administration has now focused its focus in the identity, detention and exile of the migrants who have been described in the US, expanding their efforts to involve those who have resided in the US for years.

The move has inspired large -scale demonstrations in some American cities, including Los Angeles, where federal officials are taking some most aggressive action.

Over the weekend, armed federal agents and 90 California National Guard soldiers performed an operation at the city’s McArther Park – a gathering place for nearby immigrant communities. The officers were swept away by the park on foot, horse back and armored vehicles.

“For me, this is another example of administration, which is increasing anarchy to look like a military campaign in an American city,” said Karen Bass, Mayor of Democrat Los Angeles.

“You may like it anyway, but in my opinion, it is a political agenda to incite fear and terror.”

On Tuesday, Los Angeles and seven other California city joined a case against the Trump administration, alleging that the federal immigration enforcement action was illegal. The state of California has filed a brief, supporting the trial.

California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a statement in which he said that what he said was a cruel and familiar pattern of attacks on our immigrant communities by a administration that thrives on fear and division “.

Condemnation, and legal battles, strategy Democrats trusted during Trump’s first presidential post, when the Republican policy of separating the migrant families crossing the US-Maxico border created widespread national outrage.

However, such concerns faded, and by 2024 stringent immigration enforcement once again became a top Republican Talking Point.

The Trump administration continues to welcome the debate on immigration – an issue where despite some decreasing support in recent public opinion surveys, he believes that they still have an upper hand.

Asked on Wednesday that the Democrat at the Democrat was asked by the Democrat in the Congress that the immigration enforcement officers preventing their identity from hiding their identity, Trump said that the opposition party had lost its way.

“This is a problem with Democrats,” he said. “There are many bad things going on in his head. He has lost his confidence and has become somewhat deranged.”

Democrats are used to criticize Trump, of course. But some – including party elders like Kerry – are becoming increasingly vocal in arguing that he has given Trump an inauguration to take off his political punches.
