(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2024, strongly criticized President Joe Biden’s handling of the surging illegal aliens crisis after a visit to the southern border.
Kennedy did not hold back in rebuking the leader of his own political party, describing the consequences of Biden’s open border policies as a “dystopian nightmare” during his tour of the erupting chaos. In an interview with News Nation reporter Ali Bradley, Kennedy made scathing remarks when asked about what he witnessed.
“I have a whole kind of confluence of impressions about what I saw,” Kennedy said. “Starting last night, it was like a dystopian nightmare with all these desperate people flooding across the wall and this situation clearly could’ve been prevented.”
Kennedy shared video footage depicting long lines of illegal aliens being processed by border patrol agents. “At 2 am this morning, I visited the border outside of Yuma, Arizona, where thousands of migrants are crossing the border each week. You have to see it with your own eyes,” Kennedy reported.

In a subsequent tweet, Kennedy decried the alarming number of illegal aliens freely crossing the border. “200,000 residents in Yuma. 310,000 migrants last year,” Kennedy continued. “Migrant Moms occupied 32 of 36 beds in Yuma hospital maternity ward so that local moms had to delay induced pregnancies for two weeks.”
Biden and embattled Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have downplayed the severity of their self-inflicting border crisis, claiming they have it under control.
Mayorkas has faced Republican criticism, with Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., introducing articles of impeachment against Mayorkas over his failure to secure the southern border.
In a press statement on Wednesday, Higgins torched Mayorkas, saying that his “arrogant disregard for the security and sanctity of the American people has been shocking to behold. I think that in my 62 years, I’ve never met a more pompous, insidious man.”
I’ve given fair warning. Mayorkas has brought generational trauma upon our beloved nation, and he has brought impeachment upon himself. https://t.co/orUMsDkpCB

The Louisiana lawmaker said the impeachment articles had been drafted a long time ago but had hoped they would not be required, warning, “I’ve given him fair warning to resign his position. Now, he shall reap what he hath sown.”
