Former President Donald Trump is once again sounding the alarm over President Joe Biden’s border and immigration failures — and this time, he’s pointing directly to a tragic and avoidable loss of American life.
On Sunday, Trump took to Truth Social and delivered one of his most forceful warnings yet, saying Biden and his top advisors have “really screwed our country” by allowing waves of unvetted migrants into the United States. The criticism comes as many Americans grow increasingly concerned about border security, crime, and national safety in the wake of Biden’s policies.
Trump’s message follows the heartbreaking death of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, just 20 years old, killed in an attack that authorities say was carried out by an Afghan national brought into the United States during the Biden era.
Trump Blames Biden’s Border Team for Deadly Failures
“Crooked Joe Biden, Mayorkas, and ‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris let anyone and everyone come in — totally unchecked and unvetted,” Trump posted, reflecting the frustration many conservatives feel after nearly four years of historic border chaos.
The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is accused of attacking two National Guard members, killing Beckstrom and critically injuring another. He entered the U.S. under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome, the rushed evacuation program launched after the disastrous 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Noem: Biden Let Thousands In Without Proper Vetting
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that Biden’s evacuation program admitted large numbers of Afghans before proper background checks were completed — a direct result of the chaotic collapse of the Afghan government.
Noem argued that Lakanwal’s case is a painful example of what happens when political optics take priority over national security, warning that the Biden administration created massive vetting gaps that Americans are now paying for.
Mayorkas Oversaw Four Years of Border Disorder
Alejandro Mayorkas, who ran DHS for Biden’s entire term, became the face of the administration’s immigration policies — policies that led to:
- Record-high illegal border crossings
- A collapse in asylum enforcement
- Millions of migrants released into U.S. communities
- Major setbacks in screening and national security procedures
Republicans have long warned that Biden and Mayorkas created the most dangerous border crisis in U.S. history, and this latest tragedy is now fueling a new wave of anger across the country.
Americans Want Answers
For many voters — especially older Americans who prioritize national safety, the rule of law, and strong leadership — Trump’s warning is resonating. The Beckstrom case highlights what critics call a predictable and preventable outcome of Biden’s weakened vetting system.
As the nation mourns the loss of a young service member, Trump continues making the case that border security must be restored before more innocent Americans pay the price.
