An illegal immigrant who recently crossed the US-Mexico border says he did so "basically" because Joe Biden was elected president and would not have tried to cross under former President Trump.
The man from Brazil spoke to ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz at the border in Tucson, Arizona, saying he traveled through Mexico with his family in the hopes of entering the U.S.
Raddatz asked him, “would you have tried to do this when Donald Trump was president?"
The man said “definitely not.”
Raddatz then asked him, “Did you come here because Joe Biden was elected president?"
He said "basically."
In another clip, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala with her 10-year-old son tells Raddatz in Juarez, Mexico, that she made the trip now because "Biden promised that we could cross with minors."
