SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — President José Jarí of Peru said his government on Friday would declare a state of emergency along the country’s southern border and deploy more armed forces to the area as a large number of Venezuelan migrants venture north from Chile, where anti-immigrant sentiment has surged during a fraught presidential campaign.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants escaping crises in their home countries or seeking better opportunities abroad long have traversed the continent and the Peruvian border to build new lives in Chile, one of Latin America’s most stable and prosperous nations.

But scores of people without legal status in Chile — mostly Venezuelans who fled their country’s economic ruin and authoritarian rule in recent years — are now also headed in the other direction as Chile prepares to harden its stance against immigration.

Can you imagine any other president calling reporters names? Gosh, even Bush knew better and is incompetent too!

The attack offered a stark reminder of the fallout from Biden’s chaotic Afghanistan exit. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the country in September 2021 through Joe Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome. Biden promoted that effort as “strictly vetted,” even though the process moved at breakneck speed and raised alarms from the start. President Trump has been direct about Biden’s role in this tragedy.

The media has worked hard to downplay the connection. When a reporter challenged Trump for pointing out Biden’s responsibility, he pushed back without hesitation.

The reporter began, “Why do you blame the Biden administration? Because why did you send in–”

Trump cut him off instantly. “Because they let them in. Are you stupid?”

The reporter insisted, “No, no, no.”

Trump pushed back harder. “Are you a stupid person? Because they came into– on a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn’t be here, and you’re just asking questions because you’re a stupid person.”

It was a classic moment. Trump laid out what millions of Americans have known since August 2021. Biden opened the floodgates during his botched evacuation and created a pipeline that brought tens of thousands of unvetted Afghan nationals into the country. The establishment media never wanted to talk about it. But Republicans did. Trump did.

Absolutely a moronic thing to do!

Trump call another reporter, female to be exact, stupid.

She asked a simple question and Trump threw a tantrum and then ran off like a child.

I just hope it someday soon rather then the next 3 years of the same crap!

This country needs to be in better hands now!

He lies to cover his own lies then blames everyone else that makes him looks stupid! A pathetic excuse to make him sound strong calling out others for doing their job.

Can you imagine any other president calling reporters names? Gosh, even Bush knew better and is incompetent too!
