Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has said, “Trump was right,” during an interview in which he criticized the Democrats for missing the issue of immigration for years.
Kerry, who was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004 while a US senator from Massachusetts, accused his party of allowing the US-Mexico border to be “under siege” during Joe Biden’s presidency.
He said that it had given Republicans like Donald Trump a political advantage in a BBC interview.
“The first thing any president should say - or anybody in public life - is without a border protected, you don't have a nation,” Kerry said. “I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I'm going to enforce the law.”
