Biden previously warned he 'cannot stop' migrants crossing into the US

Former US President Donald Trump has been warned he faces "electoral disaster" ahead of the Presidential election in November, as Joe Biden could scupper his chances should he allow migrants the right to vote.

Chair of Republicans Overseas UK, Greg Swenson, has suggested that the Republican Party could face turmoil as the illegal migrant crisis continues to soar across the country under Joe Biden's administration.


According to the latest figures, over two million people crossed the US-Mexico border last year.

In December 2023 alone, over 200,000 migrants crossed illegally into America.

Biden has previously said he "cannot stop" migrants crossing into the United States, but requires all those who wish to enter "to do so under US law".

This month, the state of Texas lost a Supreme Court battle against the Biden administration after planning to erect a wire fence in Eagle Pass, in an attempt to stop migrant crossings.

Appearing on GB News, Greg Swenson claimed the US President is "deliberately letting in migrants", in order to win support for the Democrats.

Following the dispute with Texan Governor Greg Abbott over border security, Swenson claimed Biden is "losing out" on the issue.

Swenson told host Martin Daubney: "It's pretty clear now that Biden wants illegal migrants. They end up being welfare recipients for sure.

"It's proven that first-generation migrants, especially illegal migrants, will always vote Democrat as soon as they get their ability to vote, whether it's through citizenship or other means. So it's an electoral win."

Swenson predicted: "If he can wave in 22 million illegal migrants, that's higher than the biggest election spread of all time which is 1984 when Ronald Reagan won re-election by 17 million votes. 22 million dwarfs that.

"It's an electoral disaster for Republicans if Biden continues to get away with this."

In reflection of the Texas border battle between Biden and Governor Abbott, Swenson urged the Abbott to "listen to the Supreme Court" on the ruling.

He highlighted that Texas is one of the most "popular states for immigration" in America.

He explained: "There's a mass migration out of blue states into red states like Texas, like Florida, and Tennessee. So you're seeing a movement of people.

"Obviously it's all legal migration within the borders but it's a really interesting time to look at Texas."
