Murphy won’t give Trump credit for securing the border…
During an appearance on Meet The Press, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy refused to acknowledge the hard work Trump 2.0 has done securing the broken Biden border.
In May 2025, U.S. Border Patrol encountered about 8,725 illegal crossings, a 93% decrease from the 117,905 encounters in May 2024.
For delusional Democrat Chris Murphy, that’s not progress — it’s chaos.
“I don’t give them credit for that because border crossings are low because they’re violating the law every day. So we have a law in this country that says if you are fleeing terror or torture from another country, you can come here and apply for asylum,” Murphy said.
Murphy accused the president of unilaterally shutting down the asylum system, barring migrants from seeking refuge — a move he said runs afoul of U.S. law.
“The Trump administration has suspended that law. They are not allowing anybody to come here to apply for asylum. We wrote that bipartisan bill last year to reform the asylum process, to make sure that only the right people are coming in and that we judge those cases expeditiously at the border,” Murphy noted.
“It’s true, there are very few people crossing on a daily basis, but that’s because the Trump administration is violating the law. And it should matter to every American that on so many facets, the Trump administration doesn’t care about the law,” Murphy said. “This is becoming a lawless administration. We are on a road to see our democracy after feats of the point that it will be unrecognizable. And the border is just one example of many ways in which this administration doesn’t care about the law anymore.”
It should matter to Mr. Murphy that this is what Americans voted for: secure borders.
