“If I were a wrestling promoter and wanted to attract as large a crowd as possible, regardless of cost, even if it meant bankruptcy, I would make admission free and give everyone free unlimited pizza and beer,” Jacobs wrote.

“That, my friends, is the Biden Administration’s immigration policy.”

President Donald Trump’s stance on immigration helped him win the 2024 presidential election against Kamala Harris. In May, the Trump administration celebrated a full year of “zero evacuations” at the southern border.

In a news release announcing the decline in releases at the southern border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) noted broader enforcement statistics showing illegal crossings and apprehensions at levels that officials say have not been seen in more than three decades. CBP said Border Patrol recorded 8,943 southwest border apprehensions in April, which is 94% lower than the Biden administration’s monthly average, 96% below the December 2023 peak during Biden’s term, and fewer than the number apprehended in just three days in April 2024.

The 59-year-old Republican politician became mayor of Knox County in 2018. He won a second term in 2022 and will not be able to run for a third term.

He advocated for voters in his district to vote for Betsy Henderson and Republicans when early voting begins later this month. Henderson will face Democrat Beau Hawk in the general election.

Jacobs likened Hawk to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

“Knox County has Mini Mamdani running to replace me as your next mayor,” he wrote in a separate post on X. “The only way she can win is if Republicans accept it for what it is. Please remember to go vote for Betsy Henderson and the Republicans.”
