He highlighted former President Donald Trump&#8217;s messaging about stopping illegal immigration and deporting those who cross as effective. Concha praised the Trump governance for achieving a historic period of zero <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-calls-for-special-prosecutor-to-probe-rigged-2020-election\/\" title=\"Trump Calls For Special Prosecutor To Probe Rigged 2020 Election\">illegal immigrant releases<\/a> into the U.S. and contrasted this with the significant increase in border crossings during the Biden administration, which he called a major national security failure. He also discussed bipartisan support for the Kayla Hamilton Act, aimed at addressing the welfare of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/emergency-locations-for-migrant-children-raise-safety-health-concerns-report\/\" title=\"Emergency Locations For Migrant ...

Concha emphasized that the media have not sufficiently credited Trump for improving border security and protecting children from exploitation by traffickers during his term.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">We needed a new president to fix the border, not legislation: Joe Concha<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<p><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> columnist <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/joe-concha\/\">Joe Concha<\/a> said President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> was right that the country needed a new president to fix the border, not legislation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;All we needed was just rhetoric from a president saying &lsquo;don&rsquo;t come here [and] if you come here we will stop you and if you get in we will deport you,&rsquo;&rdquo;
