Former President Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of pushing open border policies to expand the Democrat voter base and stay in power for decades.
Former President Donald Trump said Saturday that President Joe Biden’s open border policies amount to a conspiracy to flood the country with illegal aliens and, over time, expand the Democrat voter base in a bid to grab power “for generations.”
President Trump made the remarks during a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, during which he escalated his criticism of President Biden and the border crisis, accusing the incumbent of waging a “conspiracy to overthrow” the United States by way of record-breaking levels of illegal immigration.
“Biden’s conduct on our border is by any definition a conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America,” President Trump alleged. “He talks about democracy but he’s a danger to democracy.”

President Trump then suggested that the conspiracy is letting in throngs of illegal immigrants, then legalizing them by means of legislative reform and ultimately turning them into Democrat voters with the hopes of maintaining a grip on power, possibly for decades.
“Biden and his accomplices want to collapse the American system, nullify the will of the actual American voters, and establish a new base of power that gives them control for generations,” he said.
Similar arguments have been made by people who allege that Democrats are promoting illegal immigration to tip the electoral scales in their favor. Studies
have shown that, when immigrants are naturalized and gain the right to vote, they are less likely to vote Republican than native voters.

recently made a similar argument, claiming that President Biden’s overarching strategy on the border is to increase the number of illegal immigrants, push for immigration reform that would grant many of them amnesty, and so expand the Democrat voter base to rule the country as a “one-party state.”
Mr. Musk said this was a “simple, yet effective” strategy to keep Democrats in power practically forever.
Republicans, and others, have accused the Biden administration of being intentionally lax on border security, including with the aim of letting in more illegal immigrants for political benefit.
President Biden and members of his administration have rejected this claim, accusing Republicans of playing politics with the border crisis and of cynically denying the administration the opportunity of meaningful immigration reform by legislative means.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the claim whether the Biden administration’s policies mean to bolster the ranks of Democrat voters.
