Gingrich speaks about Trump, Trudeau, and Nieto regarding NAFTA Negotiations at Dentons NAFTA 2.0 Summit on October 11, 2017 in Washington, DC.
In Monday’s morning show, former House Speaker Gingrich joined the Fox and Friends team to discuss the ongoing border crisis and what they deem to be the unraveling of former President Donald Trump‘s immigration policy.
Speaking to the hosts, Gingrich said: “This is not a mistake, this is why they [the Biden administration] aren’t calling it a crisis. They want the border to be open.”
After falsely claiming Democrats were in favor of open borders, Gingrich continued: “What if your goal was to have the maximum number of illegal people in the United States?”
