Immigration Hub: Trump’s Border Wall Stunt is Fitting Way to End Presidency
WASHINGTON, DC — Below is a statement from Kerri Talbot, Director of Federal Advocacy of the Immigration Hub, in response to President Trump’s visit to the border wall in South Texas:
“With thousands of people dying from coronavirus every day, an economy in turmoil, and our country on edge only a week after a violent attack on our democracy, President Trump is using his final days in office not to help the American people, but to stage a feeble attempt to distract from the crises that he and his administration failed to combat.
“It’s only fitting that Trump will end his Presidency by visiting his border wall — a wasteful monument that perfectly represents his failure as a president. It’s a symbol of the hate Trump has spread since he first announced his campaign and exemplifies the failed promises he made to the American people. It’s for these exact reasons that the American people voted him out of office, making him the first incumbent to be defeated in more than two decades.”
