President Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, accusing them of displacing many Black Americans from their jobs.
Trump stated, “The fact is that his big kill on the black people is that millions of [migrant] people that he’s allowed to come in through the border, they’re taking black jobs now.”
He suggested that the number of migrants could be as high as 20 million and claimed, “They’re taking black jobs, and they’re taking Hispanic jobs. And you haven’t seen it yet, but you’re going to see something that’s going to be the worst in our history.”
In contrast, Biden has defended his administration’s handling of immigration, arguing that the influx of more than 10 million legal and illegal migrants has contributed to what he described as a high-inflation, low-wage, low-productivity economy.
Biden remarked, “The idea that situation where of all these [migrants] are … coming into the country and taking away our jobs. There’s a reason why we have the fastest-growing economy in the world, a reason why we have a successful economy.”
The GOP interpreted Biden’s remarks as an admission that his immigration policies have inflated the national economy.
Trump also criticized Biden for the current inflation rates, which he claims have been exacerbated by the influx of migrant consumers and renters. He argued, “He caused the inflation, and it’s killing black families and Hispanic families, and just about everybody.
It’s killing people. They can’t buy groceries anymore — you look at the cost of food, where it’s double, triple and quadruple, they can’t live. They’re not living anymore. He caused this inflation.”
Trump contrasted the current situation with the state of the economy when he left office, saying, “I gave him a country with essentially no inflation. It was perfect. It was so good.
All he had to do is leave it alone. He destroyed it with his green new scam and … all this money that’s being thrown out the window. He caused inflation, as sure as you’re sitting there.”
Despite his criticisms, Trump did not explicitly blame Biden’s immigration policies for causing inflation, rising housing prices, or boosting mortgage rates.
Nor did he attribute the policies to cutting wages or displacing white Americans from jobs, wages, and homes. Instead, Trump focused on the broader economic impact and the challenges faced by Black and Hispanic communities under the current administration’s policies.
