His first is becoming the Presumptive Republican president ial nominee he wasted little time in his remarks going after joe biden. In fact, he also made fun of bidens delivery of his speech at the state of the Union Tonight to go, we all heard cookie joes angry, dark hatefilled rant of a state of the Union Address wasnt it didnt it bring us together emerging border, bring the country together. Joe biden should not be shouting angrily at america.

And i say he was an illegal alien. He was an illegal immigrant. He was an illegal migrant any shape . Jordan deb been in our country and he never would have been under the trump policy. Biden should be apologizing for apologizing to this killing clare trumps visit. This georgia is the first of many expected in the coming months, the peach state is going to be one of the top battlegrounds in the 2024 election. Its one trump lost by less than 12,000 votes, four four years ago. And his team knows its going to be close to this goal round. Steve contorno, rome, georgia, cnn President Biden delivered a fiery speech here in atlanta, georgia on saturday, a crucial state for him to clinch that victory in november of 2024, its one campaign is aware of in a state that he only narrowly won here in 2020 and the president tried to shore up his supporters here in the safe ticking through some of his domestic the accomplishments, including on reproductive rights, lowering health cost, student loan, debt relief, and making inroads with the economy. But he also tried to draw stark contrast from forming for President Donald Trump, who himself was holding a rally only 60 miles up the road from here, president , taking direct aim at him and who he was keeping company with oh, youre the reason why were going to win thats not hyperbole. You are the reason were going to win. Donald trump has a different constituency. Heres a guy is kicking off his general Election Campaign in the road up with Marjorie Taylor greene i can tell you a lot about a person who keeps company when only minutes into the speech, the president was interrupted by protesters theyre calling him genocide. Joe was the latest sign of the president , still needs to make inroads with some parts of his coalition as a fractures over the course of this israelhamas war but even when that occurred, people in the crowd still chanted four more years at democratic strategist say that voter outreach is going to be key in a state like georgia. And the president making that clear today when talking to supporters, Priscilla Alvarez, cnn, traveling with the president meanwhile, the president is walking back. A controversial term he used during his State Of The Union remarks in an interview with msnbc, he said that he should have referred to the suspect in laken rileys death is undocumented during his address on thursday, biden used the word illegal, as we mentioned earlier, laken riley was the Nursing Student, allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant in georgia. During his interview, biden sought to distance himself from trumps hardline immigration rhetoric. Im documented version. And i shouldnt have usually gone as undocumented. And look, when i spoke about the difference between trump on me and one of the things i talked about in the border was his the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood i talked to my what im not going to do, what i wont do, im not going to treat any any any of these people with disrespect look, they built the country, the reason our economy is growing. We have to control the border and more orderly, slow but i dont share his view at all for more on this. Im joined by a sandra sanchez, south texas correspondent for border report. Com. Thank you so much for being here with us. So immigration seems to be the Campaign Issue in 2024. What did you make of President Bidens . It harder line on immigration in the State Of The Union in terms of signaling how hes going to deal with this divisive issue during the Campaign Thanks for having me. Yeah, you know, his of the Union Address was very similar to what he said when he came to the south texas border exactly a week before but frankly it was it was a bit disappointed. I feel like it was a missed opportunity he came down, he touted the Senate Border bill. He did the same thing in his five minutes of excerpts relating to border and immigration that he said on the State Of The Union. But he didnt give example polls are humanized or really tell the American Public what he saw on the border and how it impacts communities here, and how, and why he wants this money to change Immigration Policies and how it could really affect the future. I spoke to several people who said that it was very similar rhetoric. He clearly went to the right he he clearly had an emphasis on Law Enforcement when he was here. And that was great. But there were things that i think he could have told the American Public that he saw there seemed to be a lot of focus on sort of Law And Order issues, a lot was made of his use of the word illegal and his impromptu answer to some heckling from republicans and congress. What do you make of that . And the response we saw, i mean, it seems to have hit a nerve, but it also seems to, as you said, signal a toughening stance from biden in this Election Year . Will it cost him support . Do you think if it will cost him support . I mean, hes taken a lot of flak for migrant advocates, say theres no such thing as an illegal immigrant. Theres illegal immigration there is the act of illegally crossing, but anyone has a right to come to the united in states and tried to claim asylum. So to put those words together is something that really is frowned upon when youre at the border you know, clearly he is. I think posturing more to a conservative base recognizing that immigration is such an important issue. The tragic murder for of laken riley, the republicans have sought to weaponize her death in this campaign. Listen to this he was an illegal alien. He was an illegal immigrant. He was an illegal migrant. Any shouldnt have been in our country any never would have been under the trump policy. Biden, you should be apologizing for apologizing to this Killer Laken Riley Hollywood be alive today if joe biden had not willfully and maliciously eviscerated the borders of the United States so how do you think this will be used in terms of the republicans being able to sell a potent easily understandable narrative to hurt the Biden Ministration on an issue. Hes weak on with voters how will he sell it i mean, i think that just, just listening to that rhetoric is, is going to be offensive to a great many people. But those who are aligned for tougher Border Security might feel that this is is an example. I think its i think its i think its a port example, a harsh example. I think that the language in the rhetoric theyre only will hurt Border Communities and the immigration issue. I think what we need to do is get back to the push and the pull factors that cause people to come here. And i think thats what everyone local leaders are saying. Look tonight and met with two State Senators and dogu county judge and state senator. One should we, you know how says on the Border Security committee he wasnt even been invited to bidens visit. And he said, weve got to stop people from coming. Its just its an untenable situation. We cant handle everyone coming across by the thousands before we go i want to get beyond the politics and into the actual issue at hand here. I mean, what is the latest at the border right now, traditionally, it slows down in the winter and starts to spike again in the spring. So whats happening now and what are you expecting in the months ahead . Well, january was 50 drop from december, which was crazy on the border. We are starting to see it trickle up ive always said this, the cartels control who crosses where and when they cross. And its been eagle pass and lukeville, arizona for awhile but there are some Hotspot Areas that i see that potentially starr county roma area ands about the texas, there are areas that the cartel recognize our remote and not as patrolled and, they will take advantage of of typically we see in the spring, an uptick, of course, last april and may lifting prior to the lifting of title 42, we saw thousands, Tens Of Thousands crossing daily its been its been significantly slower, but we are expecting the numbers too. Come up. Well have to leave it there. Really appreciate getting your insights on this. Sandra sanchez. Thanks again. Thank you a story told by senator katie britt in her state of the Union Response on thursday night is apparently not all what it seems the Junior Senator from alabama criticized as President Bidens Border Policies by telling the story of meeting a woman who has sex trafficked by the cartels, starting at just 12 years old. And using that anecdote to call the chaos at the Southern Border, President Bidens Border Crisis issues i traveled to the del rio sector of texas. Thats where i spoke to a woman who shared her story with me she had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12 she told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped . The cartels put her on a mattress in a shoebox of a room, and they sent men through that door over and over again for hours and hours on end we wouldnt be okay with this happening in a third world country. This is the United States of america. And it is past time, in my opinion, that we start acting like it President Bidens Border Policies are a disgrace cnn has now confirmed details first reported by a freelance journalist, jonathan katz, that the story britt is describing from her 2023 trip actually happened in the mid 2000s when joe biden was neither the president nor the vice president. And it didnt happen in the United States. It happened in mexico. Those details shared by son and our lineup with the horrific story shared by Karla Jacinto romero in 2015 when she testified in a public congressional hearing about human rights through a translator, romero said that for four years starting when she was 12, she was emotionally and sexually violated time and time again. She also explain how at age 16 she was able to escape and has since become an activist its an her met karla romero in that 2023 trip that she referenced in her Speech Photos in a Press Release from a fellow senator, show them holding a roundtable with romero down in texas where they discussed the work being done to rescue victims of Human Trafficking now lets statement to cnn, a spokesperson for britts Office Neither confirmed nor denied britt was sharing jacinto romeros account, but said the story the senator told was 100 correct.
