WWE legend clotheslines Biden immigration policy with pro wrestling analogy

Glenn Jacobs, the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, who was known as Kane in the ring, fired off a post on X on Monday.

"If I were a wrestling promoter and wanted to draw as big a crowd as possible without regard to cost, even if it meant bankruptcy, I'd make admission free and give everyone free unlimited pizza and beer," Jacobs wrote.

"And that, my friends, was the Biden Administration's immigration policy."

President Donald Trump's stance on immigration helped him win the presidential election in 2024 over Kamala Harris. In May, the Trump administration celebrated a full year of "zero releases" at the southern border.

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

The 59-year-old Republican politician became the mayor of Knox County in 2018. He won a second term in 2022 and is unable to run for a third term.

He’s advocated for voters in his county to vote for Betsy Henderson and Republicans down the ticket when early voting begins later this month. Henderson is going up against Democrat Beau Hawk in the general election.

Jacobs compared Hawk to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

"Knox County has its very own Mini Mamdani running to replace me as your next mayor," he wrote in a separate post on X. "The only way he can win is if Republicans take it for granted. Please remember to go vote for Betsy Henderson and Republicans up and down the ticket."

Jacobs has been a supporter of Trump and received similar support from the White House in May.
