“Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has told the BBC his fellow Democrats allowed the US-Mexico border to be ‘under siege’ during Joe Biden’s presidency. In sometimes sharp words, Kerry – who was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004 and a US senator from Massachusetts – said he told Biden the party had ‘missed’ on the issue of immigration for years. He said this had allowed Republicans [sic] like Donald Trump to gain political advantage. The comments, made during an interview with BBC special correspondent James Naughtie, underscore an ongoing debate within his party over whether their pro-immigration [sic] policies cost them in recent elections.” [editor’s note: Trump is a life-long progressive Democrat whose immigration policies are the Democratic Party’s on steroids – TLK] (07/10/25)
