Billionaire Mark Cuban admitted that the Biden-Harris administration should have acted "sooner" on the border crisis while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, in Pittsburgh on Saturday (October 26).
“I would have handled immigration differently,” Cuban said during the town hall via the New York Post. “And honestly, I think if they could do it all over again — and they won’t say it necessarily — they would handle it differently as well.”
Cuban said he ultimately supports how the administration handled the migrant crisis over the last three years, which included ordering ICE to speed up deportations this past week.
“I would have done what they have done, but I might have done it a little bit sooner. That’s all. I think they handled it the right way. It just probably could have been sooner,” Cuban said. “I’m just saying, based off of what I know, they would have been in a different position if they were done a little bit sooner.”
Cuban claimed that Harris has a precise plan to ease the immigration crisis that is far less extreme than former President Donald Trump's deportation policies. Harris would allow migrants to stay in the United States under certain circumstances, while Trump is calling for mass deportations, which Cuban claimed was "the ultimate business killer."
“When Donald Trump talks about deporting people, he means it. He means it’s not a threat, and he doesn’t think about it from a small business perspective at all. These are your employees. These are their family. These are the people you love that you’ve worked with for 20 years,” Cuban said.
