John Kerry admits Trump was 'right' on border, says he told Biden that Democrats missed on immigration
Rare truth from John Kerry
: Former President Biden's climate czar John Kerry admitted during an interview on Thursday that President Donald Trump was "right" about the border and Democrats had let it fall under siege.
"The first thing any president should say, any president, or anybody in public life, is, without a border protected, you don't have a nation — I believe that. If you're going to define your nation, you have to have a border that means something," Kerry said during an interview on BBC's "Reflections" podcast. "We have a system. I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, 'I'm going to enforce the law.'"
BBC correspondent James Naughtie said during the discussion that Trump would likely point at Kerry's remarks and declare he was right about the issue.
"He was right," Kerry responded. "The problem is we all should have been right. Everybody should have been right, doing the same thing, all moving in the same direction."
Kerry said earlier in the discussion that he told Biden that the Democratic Party had missed on the issue of immigration.
"They just allowed the border to continue to be sieged, under siege," Kerry said.
The former secretary of state also noted that Democrats supported an immigration bill that several Republicans and Trump opposed.
