Bernie Sanders admits 'Trump did a better job' on border than Biden

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has admitted that President Donald Trump has done a better job at keeping the border secure than former President Joe Biden. He made the comments when he was appearing on the Tim Dillon Show. 

“If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation, right? In a sense. So, has historically the United States done well under Democrats and Republicans protecting the border? The answer is no. Trump did a better job,” Sanders said. “I don’t like Trump, you know, but we should have a secure border."

“And it ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn’t do it. Those before him did not do it,” Sanders added. “We should have a secure border period. I think most people in the Congress agree with that.”

Leading up to the election in 2024, the border was one of the top issues concerning American voters, as Biden's soft border security policy had allowed for millions of people to come into the United States, many of them not properly vetted. Over the years under Biden, there were a number of high profile crimes that were committed by illegal immigrant gang members and others who took advantage of the border policies. 

Dillon interrupted, asking Sanders, “Why don’t you think he did it? Just outta curiosity. Why don’t you think Biden was more proactive with securing the border?”

Sanders responded, “He did, he did some things. I think by the end of his term — if my memory is correct — the number of illegal folks coming in had gone down. But I’m not gonna sit here and tell you that overall it was a good job, it was not.”
