1. Trump calls the US-Mexico border ‘the most dangerous place anywhere in the world’

At the beginning of the debate, Trump railed against the “damage he’s (Biden) done to our country.” Trump specifically expressed disgust that “he allowed millions of people to come in here from prisons, jails and mental institutions” as he lamented his successor allowing the massive influx of illegal immigration.

“He’s destroying Medicare because all of these people are coming in, they’re putting them on Medicare, they’re putting them on Social Security, they’re going to destroy Social Security,” Trump predicted as he warned about the economic implications of illegal immigration. “These millions and millions of people coming in, they’re trying to put them on Social Security. He will wipe out Social Security. He will wipe out Medicare.” 

When the conversation pivoted to abortion, Trump circled back to immigration: “There have been many young women murdered by the same people he allows to come across our border. We have a border that’s the most dangerous place anywhere in the world, considered the most dangerous place anywhere in the world, and he opened it up and these killers are coming into our country and they are raping and killing women, and it’s a terrible thing.”
