Joe Biden’s Executive Order comes too little too late after he effectively surrendered control of the southern border to human traffickers and will likely increase illegal immigration, former President Donald Trump said Tuesday.
Trump tore into Biden’s declarations, saying the order is ineffective and was only done so he can brag about it during the debate later this month.
The truth is that Joe Biden’s Executive Order won’t STOP the invasion—it will make the invasion WORSE.

Read a transcript of Trump’s criticisms below [emphasis ours]:
Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country by far, has totally surrendered our southern border. His weakness and extremism of resulted in a border invasion like we have never seen before.
Other countries have emptied out their prisons and sane asylums and mental institutions and sent us drug dealers, human traffickers, and terrorists.
Millions of people have poured into our country. And now after nearly four years of his failed, weak leadership, pathetic leadership, Crooked Joe Biden is pretending to finally do something about the border. But in fact, it’s all about show because he knows we have a debate coming up in three weeks.
The truth is that Joe Biden’s executive order won’t stop the invasion. It’s weak and it’s pathetic. It will actually make the invasion worse.
Millions of people a year will continue to pour across our border and be released into our country. And we recently learned Biden is secretly granting mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of these illegal aliens, along with welfare, government benefits, work permits, and jobs.
He’s not doing that, however, for our veterans. He’s not doing that for our homeless. He’s giving illegal aliens far more than our veterans get, far more than our homeless get. Many of the left are even pushing for illegal aliens to vote in our elections, which is what this is all about. That’s why they’re allowing up to 20 million people since he took office.
When I was president, we built over 500 miles of border wall, stopped the flood of criminals, and we had the safest border in the history of our country. We need to secure our border once again. We need to secure our border once and for all. Crooked Joe will never get the job done. He doesn’t want to get the job done. It’s just words and misinformation because he could have done it very easily. All he had to do is say, close the border. That’s the power of the presidency.
But when I’m elected, it will be my top priority.
On Day One, I will seal the border, stop the invasion, and send Joe Biden’s illegal aliens back home. They have to be sent back home because no country can sustain the damage that our country is sustaining. All over the world, crime rates are going down because all over the world, not just South America, they’re sending criminals into the United States of America. They’re taking their drug dealers and their people in jail, lots of people in jail, they’re taking their murderers, their killers, they’re taking them all and they’re sending them into the United States. In Venezuela crime is down a staggering 67%, because if you go to Caracas, if you go to different places, they’re sending their criminals into the United States.
It’s a horrible thing and that’s happening all over the world. Many, many places, many countries. We’re not going to let it continue. We’re going to get them out. We’re going to bring our country back to safety. We’re going to make America great again, greater than ever before. Thank you very much.
Biden’s executive order was roundly criticized on social media, with many pointing out he’d purposely weakened border security when he reversed actions Trump had stem illegal immigration.
Biden kicks off his fake border security press conference by immediately blaming others.

On his FIRST day in office, Biden signed an executive order to defund the wall and to terminate the border emergency.
He also froze deportations that day, then eliminated the Remain In Mexico policy.
Don't buy the election season spin.
Open borders was THE PLAN. pic.twitter.com/JL3ssJi3nr

Biden’s “border crackdown” is a freaking JOKE.
It still allows 1.8 MILLION illegals in per year, and deports a grand total of ZERO.
NOT ONE ILLEGAL out of the 15 million he’s already let in will be deported under this “plan”

Biden's announcement today does nothing to secure the border.
It actually AUTHORIZES 2,500 aliens to cross illegally & provides an enticement that will attract even more illegal immigrants.
He's just trying to hoodwink Americans to think he's taking action before the election.

Others pointed out what Trump also noted, that Biden took executive action to secure the border despite claiming he had no such authority earlier this year — then he blamed Republicans for the border fiasco during a press conference Tuesday.

After taking steps on his first day in office to undo border security, Biden starts his speech with: I've come here today to do what Republicans in Congress refuse to do, secure the border. pic.twitter.com/sffPQ8iiCo

126 days ago, Joe Biden stated, "I've done all I can do" to fix the border catastrophe.
Today, he’ll announce an executive action using the same authority he denied having.
If he was actually concerned about our wide-open border, he would have acted a long time ago. pic.twitter.com/L92r9SO8Ui
