GOP lawmaker, ex-sheriff calls out Biden's border: Trump was right, 'they're not sending their best'

Former President Donald Trump has been proven correct regarding a declaration in his 2015 candidacy announcement that countries whose citizens are flooding the U.S.-Mexico border are "not sending their best," a GOP lawmaker and former Texas sheriff said Tuesday.

In June 2015, Trump – after his now-famous ride down the Trump Tower escalator in New York – focused on the illegal immigration crisis, saying the world is "laughing at [the U.S. and] at our stupidity" as the federal government refuses to enforce immigration laws.

"The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems… When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems… They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people," Trump said at the time – and was later blasted as a xenophobe and racist by Democrats and the media.
