Patrick slammed the Biden administration for opening the border, saying it was a political ploy.
“This administration doesn’t give a damn about the lives of people in this country or those who are sex trafficked, the men, the women, the children who come over here and are automatically put into sex trafficking. They don’t care,” Patrick said.
“This is a cold-hearted administration, and their only goal is to get people by the millions into this country, one day turn them into citizens to vote,” he added. “This is a plan. This isn’t an action. This isn’t malfeasance. This is their plan. They don’t care. They don’t care that we see through it. They don’t care.”
