Sen. Lindsey Graham: Biden's presidency is a disaster for America
Let us not forget the consequential nature of the Trump
presidency as we live in the disaster that is the Biden
presidency

By Sen. Lindsey Graham | Fox News
October 27, 2021

We are approaching one year since the presidential election, and
it is clearer than ever that policy matters, strength matters,
and competency matters - not just style and tone.

It is very easy to get caught up in the daily drama and bombast
of President Trump and overlook what was a consequential
presidency. This would be a mistake for Republicans and the
country as a whole.

President Trump brought order out of chaos on our southern
border, enlisting cooperation from Mexico and the Northern
Triangle countries of Central America in an unprecedented manner.
Frankly, it is astonishing to see what he did to secure our
border and control illegal immigration. Mexico cooperated with us
in a historic fashion, and the caravans flowing from Central
America stopped.

In December of 2020, illegal crossings into the United States
were at a 45-year low because of Trump policies - particularly
President Biden overturned sound Trump immigration policies like
'Remain in Mexico' and asylum agreements with Northern Triangle
nations simply because they were Trump policies. What a major
mistake.

One year later, under President Biden, we now have the highest
levels of illegal immigration ever recorded. As of the middle of
October 2021, we set a new record of illegal immigrant
apprehensions - 1.7 million - and only God knows how many we have
missed.

Saying the Biden immigration and asylum policies are a national
security and humanitarian disaster do not do full justice to the
damage his policies have wrought.

The hard-working men and women of our Border Patrol have been
hung out to dry as they deal with a tsunami of migrants including
125,000 unaccompanied children.

All the while the Mexican drug cartels, smugglers, and coyotes
cheer on these new Biden policies, which have greatly enriched
them. The amount of drugs coming into the country are at a
record high, particularly the deadly scourge of fentanyl. On
every front, President Biden has fumbled away hard-fought Trump
gains in getting control of our immigration policies.

President Trump and his team gave us safe and effective vaccines
to fight the COVID-19 virus, which continues to challenge the
world. Operation Warp Speed was a huge success, and President
Trump's early decision to limit travel from China saved countless
American lives.

President Biden and his team have struggled to contain COVID-19,
and we have seen more deaths in 2021 than any other year. In
addition, the Biden team has allowed unvaccinated migrants who
come through our southern border to move freely into and around
the United States. All the while residents of close allies like
Germany, France, and Great Britain - places where vaccines are
widely available and utilized - were blocked from entering the
United States for almost the entire first year of the Biden
presidency.

President Trump and his team created the Abraham Accords, a
historic shift toward peace between the Arabs and Israelis.
President Trump and his team destroyed the ISIS Caliphate in
Syria. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead.  Qasem Soleimani, the
head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, met his fate as
well.

When President Trump left office, we had control of Bagram Air
Base and roughly 2,500 American service members and
counterterrorism forces present in Afghanistan as an insurance
policy against Afghanistan becoming a terrorist state.

Under President Biden, the debacle in Afghanistan is one of the
darkest chapters in American history. Against sound military
advice, President Biden withdrew all of our forces and abandoned
Americans and thousands of brave Afghans who fought along our
side to the vicious Afghan Taliban. The Taliban has openly stated
they will not cooperate with the United States when it comes to
preventing safe havens for al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups in
Afghanistan. What a disaster and a decision which will come back
to haunt us.

President Biden seems more concerned with reviving nuclear
negotiations with Iran - a true terrorist state - than building
on the achievements of the Abraham Accords. I hope the Biden
Administration will redouble efforts to expand the Abraham
Accords and understand that nuclear enrichment by Iran will lead
to a bomb, not peaceful nuclear power.

President Trump stood up to China when it came to unfair trade
practices. President Biden watches helplessly as the Chinese
military makes threatening moves toward Taiwan, tests new
cutting-edge military weapons, and makes increasingly belligerent
threats.

It was President Trump and his team who gave us the most
significant tax cuts in a generation that helped keep our economy
growing. President Biden is trying to pass a socialist agenda
and trillions in new taxes on job creators. Inflation is soaring
because of Biden's mishandling of the supply chain, and the out
of control government spending is increasing costs throughout our
economy.

It was President Trump and his team who filled the federal bench
with constitutional conservatives. President Biden commissioned
a panel to study the feasibility of increasing the size of the
Supreme Court and even today refuses to rule out expanding the
Court. Changing the life tenure of Supreme Court Justices is also
under consideration. These are extreme positions, which even
liberal Justices have warned could place the legitimacy of the
Court in danger.

President Trump could be a handful. There is no doubt about
that. However, under his presidency our nation was strong, both
here at home and abroad, and we proved that conservative
principles work.

To my fellow Americans: let us not forget the consequential
nature of the Trump presidency as we live in the disaster that is
the Biden presidency.

What a difference a year makes.
